The Most Common Types of Car Accidents

The four most common types of car accident in Georgia are front-impact collisions, side-impact collisions, rear-end collisions, and parking lot collisions. Front-impact collisions, which are also known as head-on collisions, cause more fatalities than other type of car accidents. Roads that are wet, icy, or otherwise impacted by the weather are among the primary causes, which can cause hydroplaning and other control issues for the driver.

Side-impact accidents happen when a vehicle hits another vehicle on its side panel. Sometimes this is known as T-boning. These types of collisions happen frequently at intersections and dangerous turns. Speeding up at yellow lights, ignoring your blind spot when switching lanes, and not being adequately attentive to others on the road are major reasons for unexpected side-impact collisions.

Rear-end collisions are the most commonly occurring accidents in the United States. These types of collisions occur when the vehicle in front has unexpectedly slowed down or stopped. Tailgating and reckless driving are also major causes of rear-end collisions. To avoid rear-end collisions, experts advise keeping a safe distance from the car ahead of you.

Collisions also happen frequently in parking lots when a car is backing out of a parking spot, or where multiple cars are moving around corners and in different directions. Even though the cars are generally moving slowly, parking lot collisions can cause injuries to passengers and damages to cars.
