According to the State of Georgia, there were more than six million people (some motorists and some pedestrians) involved in auto accidents on state roads between 2000 to 2006. During that same time period, over 11,000 people lost their lives in auto accidents in the state. About 75 percent of fatal crashes took place on two-way roads that did not have any barriers between the lanes.
“Multiple car accidents can be difficult to sort out in terms of the legal implications,” said Georgia auto accident attorney Nathan Williams. “It is best to work with a knowledgeable legal professional in these matters.”
