Car accidents are a common occurrence, and car accidents resulting from a collision in an intersection are responsible for 40% of all car accidents. There are many reasons collision in intersections occur. Some of these reasons are:

• The diver making a left turn
• Lane change in the middle of an intersection
• Not stopping at a four way stop
• Running a red light

Collisions can happen at anytime and to anyone. In July of 2008, actor Shia LaBeouf was involved in a car accident due to another driver running a red light. This unfortunate accident caused permanent injury to one of the actor's hands. The other driver was cited and LaBeouf, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, was determined not at fault.

This permanent injury will hinder the actor's career and causes him some pain. He underwent hand surgery to help him perform everyday tasks such as zipping his zippers and buttoning his shirts.

It only takes one second to permanently harm another person. If you have been involved in a car accident in Atlanta, Georgia, please contact the experienced car accident attorneys at the Cochran Firm's Atlanta office to schedule a confidential, no-cost consultation.
