Crash Count Rises, but Injuries and Deaths Decrease in Georgia this Holiday Weekend

Posted by guest-writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

National holidays and long weekends in the summer are a time of drastically increased travel nationwide - which also means the number of accidents out on the road is bound to increase. This might lead you to believe that the number of car accident-related personal injuries and deaths will also go up, but the state totals in Georgia after this year’s Memorial Day travel show differently.

According to the Coosa Valley News, Georgia State Police predicted about 2,700 crashes, 875 injuries and 18 deaths. The actual count was closer to 2,800 crashes - but the total number of injuries was just 750 - compared to more than 900 last year. The crashes killed 15 people in Georgia this past weekend - but it’s fewer than expected and fewer than last year.

In Minnesota, there were at least 11 crashes resulting in death, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and the final crash, injuries and death counts are not yet determined.

Georgia personal injury attorneys and Minnesota personal injury attorneys can help those people who were injured in car accidents by no fault of their own - whether they were passengers or a driver not at fault.

The next big travel weekend will be July 4th - so be careful, and celebrate the nation’s independence safely so you don’t need to hire a personal injury attorney for yourself!
