Car accidents injure millions of people each year throughout the United States. Not surprisingly, the frequency of crashes changes from year to year, and certain communities and areas tend to see more accidents than others.
For example, in Gwinnett County, there tend to be between 30,000 and 40,000 crashes each year. Dekalb County has similar statistics but typically has a few thousand fewer. 2017 was an outlier year, with Dekalb County reporting almost 41,928 crashes and Gwinnett County reporting 39,473. Fulton County typically has more crashes than both Gwinnett and Dekalb Counties, reporting anywhere from 43,776 to 63,984. In the Atlanta area as a whole, we typically see between 70,000 and 106,000 accidents reported each year.
