Time sensitivity is paramount when filing a car accident claim in Georgia.

Timely action is critically important. We strongly advise our clients to initiate the legal process immediately.

Having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side significantly increases your chances of getting the maximum amount of compensation for your case. If you choose to contact a lawyer, it’s essential to select a firm you are comfortable with that treats you with the dignity and respect you deserve.
How You Can Stay Safe Behind The Wheel
Each year, driver fatigue, distraction or impairments, and road and weather conditions are among the top causes of car accidents. Remember that crashes occur more often late at night, on weekends, during rush hour, and during peak holiday travel times.
Stay as safe as possible. Follow these tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
- NEVER drive distracted: Keep your cellphone out of reach and avoid the temptation of sending a quick text or checking your email.
- NEVER drive aggressively: Avoid tailgating and excessive speeding. Obey traffic signals and keep your emotions in check if you encounter an aggressive driver.
- NEVER drive drowsy: If you’re sleepy, pull off the road at a safe place and stay parked until you are alert or arrange an alternate form of transportation.
- NEVER drive under the influence: Drugs and alcohol generally account for around one-third of car accident deaths each year in the United States. Arrange a designated driver or figure out another way home before you drink.
