What should I do after an accident near the I-285/I-20 interchange in Austell?

Pull to safety if possible, call 911, document the scene, and do not give recorded statements to insurance adjusters. Then call Georgia Auto Law for a free consultation. This interchange sees frequent multi-vehicle accidents.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Austell?

Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), you have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Given the complexity of I-285/I-20 interchange accidents in Austell, contact Georgia Auto Law early to preserve evidence.

What are Georgia's minimum insurance requirements for Austell drivers?

Georgia requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/25. However, given the heavy truck and highway traffic near Austell, these minimums are often insufficient. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is strongly recommended.

Can I recover damages if I was partly at fault for my Austell accident?

Yes. Georgia's modified comparative negligence law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) allows recovery as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
