Car Accident Lawyers in Atlanta

We take car accident cases to trial

Most firms push you toward a fast settlement so they can close the file. We don't work that way. When an insurer won't pay what your case is worth, we're prepared to put it in front of a Fulton County jury, and insurers know it. That reputation changes how they negotiate with us from the first phone call. You also work directly with an attorney who knows your file, not a junior associate, and we keep you informed at every stage.

How we build your case

We start fast, because evidence in Atlanta car accidents disappears quickly. In the first days we request the crash report, preserve any dashcam or traffic-camera footage, and identify witnesses. From there we document the full picture of your damages, including future medical costs you may not have accounted for yet, then send a demand to the at-fault driver's insurer and negotiate hard. If they won't be fair, we file suit and prepare the case as if it is going to a jury from day one.

What compensation can I recover after an Atlanta car accident?

Georgia lets injured drivers pursue two categories of damages. Economic damages cover measurable losses like medical bills, future care, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering and the way the injury affects your daily life. The mix depends on how serious your injuries are and how much the crash has changed your life.

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

Generally two years from the date of the crash (O.C.G.A. Section 9-3-33). That sounds like plenty of time, but evidence fades fast, and some claims carry different deadlines, including those involving a government vehicle or a crash that caused a death. It's best to confirm your timeline early.

What if the crash was partly my fault?

Georgia follows modified comparative negligence (O.C.G.A. Section 51-12-33). You can still recover as long as you are found less than 50% at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame. Insurers routinely try to shift fault onto the injured driver to cut what they owe, which is one reason a careful investigation matters.

Common questions

How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer in Atlanta?

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, so generally there is no attorney fee unless we recover compensation for you, and the consultation is free.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Usually not without review. Early offers are often lower than a claim is worth, and once you sign a release you typically can't reopen it.

What should I do right after an Atlanta car accident?

Call 911 and get medical care, document the scene and the other driver's information if you can, obtain the crash report, and speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.
