Atlanta Car Accident Trends & Statistics

Atlanta sees thousands of car accidents each year. In 2022, the Georgia Department of Transportation reported nearly 35,800 crashes statewide in metro areas, including those around Atlanta.
In 2023, the Atlanta Police Department responded to 28,278 crash scenes in city limits — that’s more than three accidents every hour.
In Georgia overall in 2022, there were 1,797 traffic fatalities, a slight decrease from 2021, but still devastating for families and communities.
Pedestrian fatalities are rising too. In 2022, 345 pedestrians were fatally injured in Georgia crashes, with more than half occurring in the Atlanta region.

These numbers highlight how risky Atlanta’s roads are — and how important strong legal representation is when a crash changes your life.

Common Causes Of Car Accidents In Atlanta

In our experience, and backed by crash data, these are frequent contributing factors:

• Speeding and aggressive driving
• Distracted driving (cell phones, navigation, multitasking)
• Driving under the influence (DUI)
• Unsafe lane changes, tailgating, weaving
• Poor road conditions or construction zones
• Failure to yield / red light running
• Weather & slick road surfaces during rainstorms

These causes often form the basis of proving negligence in your claim.

Typical Injuries From Atlanta Car Crashes

Car accidents in Atlanta often lead to serious injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion
• Spinal cord injuries and herniated discs
• Fractures of arms, legs, ribs, pelvis
• Neck and back injuries — soft tissue, disc damage
• Internal damage, organ trauma, internal bleeding
• Permanent impairment, disfigurement
• Emotional and psychological trauma, PTSD

The real cost goes beyond immediate treatment: long‑term therapy, rehabilitation, lost wages, and reduced quality of life.

What To Do Immediately After A Car Accident In Atlanta

1. Call 911 — get medical help and a police report
2. Photograph the scene — include vehicle damage, road conditions, weather, traffic signals
3. Collect witness information — names, phones, statements
4. Preserve evidence — don’t delete photos or video, save any dashcam or surveillance footage
5. Seek medical evaluation — even if you feel “okay,” symptoms can appear later
6. Report to insurers — but don’t admit fault or settle too soon
7. Contact The Perazzo Law Firm — early legal involvement helps preserve evidence and strengthens your claim

How Much Is Your Atlanta Crash Case Worth?

There’s no fixed number — every case depends on factors like fault, injuries, evidence, and long‑term impact. But typical damages include:

• Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
• Lost income and diminished earning capacity
• Rehabilitation, therapy, and medical devices
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Wrongful death in fatal accidents

With aggressive legal advocacy, you can fight to recover full value — not a quick lowball from an insurer.

Proving Fault, Liability, & Georgia’s Comparative Fault Rule

To win, your attorney must prove:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care
• They breached that duty through negligence
• Their breach caused your injury
• You suffered actual damages

Georgia uses modified comparative fault: as long as your share of fault is under 50%, you may still recover damages, though reduced by your percentage of fault. Once fault reaches 50% or more, you may be barred.

A skilled attorney will fight misattributed fault claims and preserve your maximum recovery.

Deadlines & Statute of Limitations

You must file your personal injury lawsuit within 2 years from the date of the accident (O.C.G.A. § 9‑3‑33). Miss that deadline, and your claim may be forever barred.
In wrongful death cases, the time limit is usually also 2 years.
Because evidence disappears, witnesses relocate, and insurers act quickly, early legal action is critical in Atlanta’s fast‑paced environment.
