We answer common questions about car accidents in Atlanta
Your actions immediately following a car accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Follow these steps:
- Seek medical attention: Even if you feel fine, it’s essential to see a doctor, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
- Report the accident: Call the police to file an accident report and notify your insurance company.
- Document the scene: Gather contact information, take photos, and get witness statements.
- Avoid admitting fault: Limit conversations about the accident and consult with an attorney before making any statements.
| In Georgia, you must report any accident that results in injury, death, or property damage over $500. You have the right to receive a copy of the police report, which can be critical evidence in your claim. |
Yes, as a passenger, you may have a claim under the driver’s insurance policy, regardless of who was at fault. You may also be covered under your own insurance policy if the driver is uninsured.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as your fault does not exceed 50%. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, your compensation will be reduced to $80,000.
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit is two years from the accident date. Failing to file within this period can prevent you from seeking compensation.
