Practice Areas
The Georgia Department of Transportation’s 2008 crash analysis reports that an average of almost 1,200 accidents happen each day in this state.
In some cases, insurance and standard law enforcement efforts do not properly address the cause of an accident. If your injuries resulted due to no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation.
If you’re wondering whether you have a case, don’t wait to find out. These claims often fail or succeed based on the evidence presented, which may include testimony or photographs that become harder to obtain as time goes on.
Additionally, all personal injury claims must be filed within the statute of limitations. In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. While this may sound like a long time, it’s easy to get so focused on your immediate physical, mental, and financial needs that, before you know it, two years have passed, and you can no longer file a claim.
While some car accidents are the fault of no one, countless numbers of them are the direct result of the negligent and careless actions of drivers. In dealing with car accident claims, we thoroughly examine the circumstances of the accident to ascertain the cause and to identify the at-fault party.
Common causes of car accidents include:
- Following Too Closely
- Failure to Yield
- Distracted Driving
- Improper Lane Change
- Speeding
