Car accidents are usually caused by everyday negligence, where ordinary human errors and lapses in judgment lead to serious consequences. When drivers fail to adhere to basic safety rules, they put everyone else on the road in danger. Part of our work on your case will be dedicated to figuring out what the other driver did wrong to cause your crash.
Common causes of car accidents in Georgia include:
Car accidents are a leading cause of accident-related injuries across the country, including Georgia, with the potential to inflict significant harm on drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Even seemingly minor, low-speed collisions can result in severe, life-changing injuries. If you were badly injured in a car accident, our attorneys can work with your treating physicians to understand your injury and how its severity should factor into your claim.
Serious injuries commonly reported after a car accident include:
A car accident claim can help you feel like justice was secured after someone else’s mistake left you seriously injured. Perhaps more importantly, though, it can secure the compensation you need to recover and move forward with your life. Our goal is to get you the largest recovery possible based on your losses; each case is unique, so factors of your case will affect how much you can recover, and we – or any law firm – cannot guarantee the end result of your claim.
Two classifications of damages and compensation in the average car accident claim are:
For most car accident claims filed in Georgia, a two-year statute of limitations applies, and it starts on the date of the accident. Under this rule, you have two years to file an injury claim against the liable party, or you are likely to lose your right to demand compensation through the civil court system. Also, please be reminded that an injury claim is not the same as an auto insurance claim filed with your insurance company; you likely only have a matter of a few weeks or less to file that claim.

If you were injured in a car accident while performing job-related duties, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ comp can help cover medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. In some cases, you may also have the option to pursue a third-party personal injury claim against the at-fault driver or other responsible parties. This could provide additional compensation for damages not covered by workers’ comp, such as pain and suffering.
Our firm handles both workers’ compensation and personal injury cases, giving you the advantage of having a legal team that understands both systems. We can help evaluate your options and discuss how we can help.
Yes, under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, your total recovery would be reduced by 20%. This is why it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney on your side to minimize your level of fault and maximize your compensation.
The timeline for a car accident case varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of the accident, the severity of injuries, and whether the insurance company is willing to negotiate fairly. Here’s a general breakdown:
