Georgia Accident Statistics
Each year, the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety releases a comprehensive report with the statistics of auto accidents in Georgia.
From 2006 to 2015 Georgia saw a steady decrease in auto accident fatalities. However, in 2015 the number of fatalities began increasing. In 2018, Georgia enacted a hands-free cell phone law and we are once again seeing a decrease in fatalities on Georgia’s roadways. Here are the numbers for previous years:
