Hodgins & Kiber, LLC has enhanced its Attorney ATL digital platform to provide critical resources for accident victims as metro Atlanta faces an unprecedented public safety crisis, with traffic deaths surpassing homicides for the first time in 2024. The firm reports that 425 people died in traffic-related incidents across the five-county metro area last year, compared to 410 homicides in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties combined.
The enhanced platform launch comes as DeKalb County led the region with 121 traffic fatalities in 2024, while pedestrian deaths continue climbing throughout metro Atlanta. The firm's data analysis reveals that Atlanta averaged 28,278 car accidents in 2023, with nearly 50 percent of pedestrian collisions occurring within 150 feet of MARTA bus stops.
"These deaths represent preventable tragedies that devastate families across our community," said David Hodgins, founding partner at Hodgins & Kiber, LLC. "While Atlanta averages 14.2 traffic deaths per 100,000 people compared to just 5.7 in Chicago and 4.3 in Seattle, insurance companies continue minimizing legitimate injury claims from accident victims who need comprehensive medical care and financial support."
The Attorney ATL platform provides accident victims with streamlined case evaluation tools, document access systems, and direct attorney communication channels. Operating on a contingency fee basis, the firm removes financial barriers that prevent injured victims from pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Metro Atlanta recorded 344 traffic deaths across Fulton, DeKalb, and Clayton counties in 2023, including 108 pedestrian fatalities. DeKalb County experienced a 40 percent increase in pedestrian deaths from 2022 to 2023, rising from 42 to 59 fatalities. The I-285, I-75, and Downtown Connector corridors remain the most dangerous roadways, with speeding and distracted driving identified as leading causes of collisions.
"Every collision creates complex legal challenges that injured victims must navigate while recovering from trauma," explained Troy Kiber, partner at the firm. "Our enhanced platform ensures that accident victims understand their rights and can pursue full compensation despite insurance company tactics designed to minimize settlements."
The firm's enhanced digital capabilities include 24/7 availability, case tracking systems, and bilingual services to serve Atlanta's diverse population. As an Atlanta car accident lawyer practice with over 14 years of experience, the firm handles car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, and pedestrian accident cases, along with spine injuries and traumatic brain injuries resulting from traffic collisions.
With Atlanta averaging 30,000 car accidents annually, the need for experienced legal representation continues growing. The Attorney ATL platform addresses systemic issues including dangerous high-speed roadways, inadequate pedestrian infrastructure near transit stops, and insurance company practices that disadvantage injury victims.
