Types Of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Auto accidents happen for various reasons, and we’ve seen it all. Here are some common causes of crashes that we encounter:
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting, talking on the phone)
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Aggressive driving (e.g., tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic)
- Drowsy driving
- Poorly maintained roads
- Defective vehicles
When others are negligent in their duty to be safe and avoid dangerous behaviors, they should be held responsible for the fallout.
I Was In An Accident: What Do I Do Now?
After a motor vehicle accident, there’s a lot to manage. Pain and a damaged vehicle can make it impossible to drive kids to school and go to work. Dealing with insurance claims, medical professionals and law enforcement only adds to your list of things to do.
After seeing about your immediate medical needs, you can speak with a skilled attorney at our firm to discuss your case and the financial remedies that may be available with a personal injury claim, and we will take it from there.
Understanding Negligence And Fault In Georgia
In Georgia, determining fault in a car accident involves proving negligence. To prove negligence, you must show that another party failed to act with reasonable care and that this failure caused the accident and your damages.
Fault is assessed based on evidence such as police reports, witness statements and accident reconstruction. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can recover damages as long as you’re less than 50% to blame for the accident..
Potential Damages You Could Receive In Car Accident Claims
Our attorneys want to see you in the best possible position to recover from your crash injuries, both physically and financially. We fight for the compensation you deserve so you can focus on healing and moving forward. Some damages you may be able to recover include:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
Keep in mind that Georgia has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims. You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. That’s why it’s crucial to contact a knowledgeable car accident attorney in the Augusta area as soon as possible.
The Importance Of Documentation
After a car accident, thorough documentation is vital in proving liability and the extent of your damages. Every piece of evidence, from photos of the accident scene to medical records documenting your injuries, strengthens your claim. Even seemingly insignificant details could be critical in building a successful case.
That said, while gathering immediate documentation is helpful, don’t worry if you couldn’t do so after your accident. Our legal team has the experience, knowledge and resources to investigate the accident, interview witnesses and gather the necessary evidence to support your car accident compensation claim.
