According to data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 2.5 million Americans were injured in motor vehicle crashes on U.S. roads. 
 
Fatalities and injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death. Traffic fatalities account for more than 90 percent of transportation-related fatalities. In 2006 alone, 15,121 people were killed in car crashes involving a drunk driver.

In Georgia, the statistics are no better.  In 2003 (the latest annual survey), there were 132,879 car crashes involving injuries in Georgia.  Of those, 1,610 resulted in fatalities.  Over 5,000 injury crashes in Georgia were the result of alcohol or drug intoxication.

A growing cause of auto accidents in Atlanta is the use of cellphones, GPS devices, PDAs and other handheld devices while driving.  In such cases, we have been successful in tracking down cellphone records to evidence cellphone use during the accident.  Such evidence can lead to punitive damage awards against drivers and companies that require their drivers to use these devices while driving a company vehicle.

If you have been injured in a car accident or have lost someone in a fatal auto accident, you may be entitled to file a case of personal injury or wrongful death.
