Atlanta’s the 11th most dangerous place for pedestrian accidents in America

Atlanta, Georgia has some of the most dangerous streets for pedestrians in the country. To be exact, it's the 11th most dangerous place to walk in the country. That's the conclusion of a recent study conducted by Transportation for America, a nonprofit safety advocacy organization. Each year, there are 1.6 pedestrian deaths per 100,000 people in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Georgia area, the study states. The most dangerous place to walk in the country is the Orlando-Kissimmee, Florida area. In fact, the top four are all in Florida.

Georgia grandchildren safer in vehicles driven by grandparents

Older drivers have some of the safest driving habits on the road. They wear seatbelts more than younger drivers. They're involved in fewer drunk driving accidents. And when they have their grandchildren in the car, they're less likely to be in an auto accident. That's the conclusion of a recent scientific study written about in Time Magazine. Specifically, children are twice as safe when their grandparents are driving instead of their parents, the report states.

Even so, accidents happen. Do you know what you would do if you were injured in an accident caused by another driver in Georgia? You need a Georgia personal injury lawyer who puts people first.
