If you’ve been in a car accident, you have options. A personal injury or property damage attorney can help you take action against the at-fault driver. Reach out today to speak with an experienced attorney.

Car accidents can have serious consequences, especially when someone’s negligence or reckless behavior is involved. Driving is risky, and crashes can lead to injuries or even death. A major collision can also cause costly damage to vehicles, sometimes forcing owners to replace their cars entirely. On top of that, medical bills can pile up quickly, as treatment at hospitals or care centers is often necessary. Because of these expenses, many people choose to pursue legal action to recover what they’re owed. That’s where an experienced attorney can make a real difference.

Each state has its own rules for handling car accidents and related claims. In Georgia, all drivers are required to carry auto insurance, so it’s important to keep proof of coverage in your wallet or vehicle. If you’re involved in an accident, your insurance can help cover at least the minimum amounts: $25,000 for injury or death to one person, $50,000 for injury or death to two or more people, and $25,000 for property damage.

Sometimes, the parties involved may decide to file a lawsuit to seek additional compensation. In Georgia, a judge will determine who is at fault in a collision. There are also deadlines to keep in mind: you have two years to file a personal injury claim, four years for property damage, and two years to file a claim against a government entity.
