Common Types of Car Accidents We Handle

Car accidents occur in many forms, each presenting unique challenges. Our attorneys have extensive experience with all types of collisions.

Rear-End Collisions

Often caused by distracted driving or following too closely, rear-end accidents can result in whiplash, back injuries, and traumatic brain injuries despite appearing minor.

Head-On Collisions

Among the most dangerous accidents, head-on crashes often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities, typically caused by wrong-way driving, impaired driving, or unsafe passing.

T-Bone and Side-Impact Crashes

Intersection accidents where one vehicle strikes another's side can cause severe injuries to occupants on the impact side, particularly when airbags fail to deploy.

Multi-Vehicle Pileups

Chain-reaction accidents involving multiple vehicles create complex liability scenarios requiring thorough investigation to determine all responsible parties.

Single-Vehicle Accidents

Even when only one vehicle is involved, liability may rest with other drivers, road maintenance authorities, or vehicle manufacturers due to defects.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

When the at-fault driver flees, we help pursue compensation through uninsured motorist coverage and work with law enforcement to identify responsible parties.

Rideshare Accidents

Uber and Lyft accidents involve unique insurance complications. We navigate these complexities to ensure you receive proper compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

Seek medical attention even if you feel fine, as some injuries don't appear immediately. Call police to document the accident. If safe, take photos and collect witness information. Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting an attorney.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Georgia?

Georgia's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the accident date. However, certain circumstances can affect this timeline, so consult an attorney promptly.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation if you're less than 50% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize your assigned fault.

Will I have to go to court?

Most car accident cases settle without trial. However, if the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, we're prepared to litigate your case through trial.

How much is my car accident case worth?

Case value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, degree of fault, insurance coverage, and impact on your life. We provide detailed case evaluation during your free consultation.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Initial offers are typically far below fair value. Don't accept any settlement without consulting an attorney who can properly evaluate your claim's worth.

Don't Wait to Get the Help You Need

Time is critical after a car accident. Evidence can disappear, witnesses' memories fade, and strict deadlines apply to your claim. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better positioned you'll be to secure fair compensation.
