Types of Auto Accidents We Handle

Rear-End Collisions

Head-On Collisions

Among the deadliest accidents, causing catastrophic injuries or death. Often involve drunk drivers, wrong-way drivers, or distracted driving.

T-Bone/Side-Impact Crashes

Occur at intersections when one vehicle strikes another's side. Can cause severe injuries due to minimal side protection.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

Distracted Driving Crashes

Texting, phone calls, and other distractions lead to serious accidents. We obtain cell phone records to prove negligence.

Insurance Company Tactics to Watch Out For

Insurance companies are not on your side. They use these tactics to reduce what they pay:

Quick lowball settlement offers before you know the extent of injuries
Requesting recorded statements to trap you into damaging admissions
Claiming pre-existing conditions caused your injuries
Delaying the claims process hoping you'll accept less out of desperation
Disputing medical treatment necessity
Using social media posts against you
Blaming you partially for the accident to reduce their liability
Pressuring you to settle before hiring an attorney

Common Questions

How much is my car accident case worth?

Case value depends on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and available insurance coverage. Minor injuries may settle for thousands, while severe injuries can be worth hundreds of thousands or millions. We provide honest case evaluations during free consultations.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Georgia, you generally have 2 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, you should contact an attorney immediately; evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies exploit delays.

What if I was partially at fault?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you're less than 50% at fault, but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're 20% at fault, you recover 80% of damages.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Almost never. Initial offers are typically far below true case value. Insurance companies hope you'll accept quickly before understanding your full injuries, future medical needs, and legal rights. Once you accept, you cannot reopen the claim.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?

You can pursue an uninsured motorist (UM) claim through your own insurance policy. You may also have underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage if the at-fault driver's insurance is insufficient. We help you identify all available coverage sources.

How long does a car accident case take?

Simple cases may settle in months, while complex cases with severe injuries can take 1-2 years or more. We don't rush. We wait until you reach maximum medical improvement so we know the full extent of your injuries and future needs.
