Decoding Car Accident Reports in Georgia - The Georgia Uniform Motor Vehicle Accident Report

Each year we review hundreds of accident reports. I recently found a good guide to help people figure-out the cryptic codes and other information contained in Georgia accident reports.
The Georgia Department of Transportation, headquartered in Atlanta, has created a nice guide for deciphering accident reports which can be found here.
Jurisdictions throughout Georgia pretty much stick to a standard accident report form called the Georgia Uniform Motor Vehicle Accident Report. Of course, there are a few law enforcement agencies, most notably in and around Atlanta, that use their own forms or use a modified version of the standard auto accident form.
I think that this guide will be helpful for the public as well as attorneys handling the occasional auto or truck accident case.
