Who is at fault in a car accident?
The first question that has to be answered in any Georgia car accident case is: who is at fault? In other words, we have to determine who caused the car accident. Georgia is what you call a “fault state” when it comes to car accidents. This means that every driver must have car insurance and the insurance company will pay for any car accidents that the driver causes. But, figuring out who is at fault is not as easy as you might think.
In some cases, there is one driver who is clearly at fault. But, in other cases, who is at fault might be a little more unclear. This is made even more complicated when the insurance companies get involved and try to point fingers at the other driver (and their insurance company) to try to get off with paying as little as possible.
There are some basic rules of fault under Georgia law that can establish who was at fault in a car accident.
Basic rules of fault for car accidents in Georgia:
- If one driver broke a traffic law, and the other did not, the one who broke the law is probably at fault.
- In a rear end accident, the person in the back is usually the one at fault (following too closely).
- If one driver drove negligently, such as texting or messing with the radio while driving, then that driver is probably at fault.
- If one of the cars was not properly maintained, and this caused the car accident, the the driver of the poorly maintained car is probably at fault.
There are an infinite number of circumstances that can give rise to a car accident in Georgia. For example, imagine if one driver is speeding but the other driver was texting behind the wheel? What about if both drivers broke a traffic law? This is when you need a car accident attorney to determine who was at fault in the crash.
Lawyer tip:
Who was at fault?
Determining who was at fault is one of the first and most important things your car accident lawyer will do. Usually, the “at-fault party” will be noted on the Georgia crash report, but sometimes the police officer will make a mistake. Your car accident lawyer will conduct a complete investigation into your accident in order to make sure nothing is overlooked.
You have limited time
to file a car accident claim.
Car accident claims have strict filing deadlines. You must file a car accident claim within two years of the date of the crash (Ga. Code Ann. Sec. 9-3-33).
If you violate the Georgia statute of limitations, your car accident claim will be dismissed as a matter of state law. This means that you will not have the right to seek justice and fair compensation for your damages.
If you, or a loved one, have been in a car accident, Georgia Auto Law is here for you. Contact our Georgia car accident lawyers right away. We will handle your claim and file it on time.

Negligence in a car accident case
What is negligence in a car accident case? This is a question our car accident lawyers get regularly. Proving negligence (who was at fault) is a crucial first step in every car accident lawsuit. Without first establishing negligence, there can be no compensation.
Your car accident lawyer will conduct a detailed investigation into your accident. We will be able to determine who was at fault, and fight it if we need to.
Lawyer tip:
Take note of what the other driver says.
If you are involved in a car accident, be sure to take note of what the other driver says right after the accident. Sometimes, the other driver will try to change their story or say you were at fault. If you can, write down (on paper or on you phone) what the other driver says. Be on the lookout for any admissions of fault. Then, make sure they don’t change their story when police arrive on scene.
What you should do after a car accident in Georgia
As soon as a car accident happens, there are things you can do immediately to protect your car accident claim. It will be a stressful time, but if you do a few things then you can better protect your car accident claim.
Do the following things after a car accident in Georgia:
- Call the police immediately
- Take photos and video of the scene
- Take photos and video of the vehicle damage and your injuries
- Get the names and contact information of any witnesses
- Exchange information with the other driver
- Seek medical treatment as soon as possible
- Find an experienced and specialized car accident lawyer
Should I talk to a car accident lawyer?
In a Georgia car accident, there is a lot that goes on after the accident that can be overwhelming. Taking on the insurance claims process by yourself can be very difficult. And this is even more true if the other driver is saying they are not at fault. The insurance company will try to settle your case quickly for way less than it is really worth.
When you hire a car accident lawyer, you will have someone on your team fighting for you. Hiring a car accident lawyer in Georgia means that you will have a dedicated legal team that knows the laws that are specific to the state of Georgia and the games that the insurance company tries to play to take advantage of injury victims.
Injured in a car accident?
Georgia Auto Law is your team.
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a car accident in Georgia, you need the absolute best Georgia car accident lawyer team that you can find. At Georgia Auto Law, we have built our team from the ground up and our experience and reputation speaks for itself. When you say “Georgia Auto Law” to the big insurance companies, they know what they have coming for them.
What to expect from the car accident claims process.
1
The initial investigation
Georgia is a fault-based car accident state. To hold another party responsible for your car accident, you must prove that their negligence caused the wreck.
While negligence is obvious in some crashes, that is not always the case. Every major car accident in Georgia requires an investigation. During the investigation process, our car accident lawyers will gather all relevant evidence. With this evidence we will build a strong claim that proves that defendant’s negligence.
Some common examples of car accident negligence include:
- Speeding
- Running a red light
- Running a stop sign
- Failure to yield
- Following too closely
- Unsafe lane changes
- Distracted driving
- Testing while driving
- Drunk driving
A wide range of evidence builds a winning car accident case. Our attorneys review photos, video footage, witness statements, police reports, medical records, and much more. Our goal is to have as much evidence as we can to build the strongest case.
2
Assessing your damages
In Georgia, car accident victims have a right to financial compensation for the full value of their damages. Even when liability is obvious, insurance companies rarely offer fair settlements.
At Georgia Auto Law, our car accident lawyers know how to hold insurance companies accountable. We will make sure that you get every penny that you deserve.
Compensation may be available for:
- Emergency medical treatment
- Other medical and hospital bills
- Physical therapy
- Loss of wages
- Diminished earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Permanent disfigurement
- Long-term disability
- Reduced quality of life
- Lost future earnings
- Wrongful death of a family member
3
Dealing with the insurance company
After we build your case, we begin working with the insurance company to maximize your compensation.
Lawyer tip:
Should I give a recorded statement?
If you were injured in a car accident, you should never give a statement to an insurance adjuster without speaking to a car accident lawyer first. Insurance adjusters protect the company’s money. They want to find things that they can use to deny your claim or reduce your settlement offer.
You do not have to give a statement to an opposing insurance company in the days or weeks after your crash. Let your Georgia car accident lawyer speak for you. Once you hire a lawyer, the insurer has to work through that legal representative. An experienced attorney knows all the tricks used by insurance companies, and auto accidents are all we do everyday at Georgia Auto Law.
We will present your claim so that you can get the compensation that you deserve.
Damages available for car accident cases in Georgia
Getting financial compensation in a car accident settlement will not make the pain and emotional damages go away. However, a strong car accident settlement can help you get back on your feet. Under Georgia law, our civil justice system allows car accident victims to recover compensation in a number of different categories of damages. There are damages that are considered “economic damages” and then there are “noneconomic” damages.
Economic damages in a car accident case in Georgia:
Past and future medical bills: All of the costs from emergency medical treatment, ambulance rides, hospital stays, MRIs, x-rays, prescription medications, surgeries, and physical therapy arising from the car accident. If your injuries require lifelong medical care, such as a full-time caretaker, then Georgia courts will allow compensation for these lifelong costs.
Lost wages from missed work: Often, car accident victims have to stay home from work while recovering from injuries. If you have to stay home from work due to your injuries, then you have a right to compensation for your lost income. Essentially, you have a right to all of the money that you would have been able to make at work had you not been injured in the car accident.
Property damage: Economic damages also includes the damage to your physical property, such as your vehicle. The courts will order compensation to repair or replace your damaged vehicle. The amount of these damages will be determined by repair estimates, quotes, or experts.
Noneconomic damages in a car accident case in Georgia:
Noneconomic damages, or “general damages,” are intended to cover all harms and losses that do not have a specific dollar amount. These damages are considered to be intangible. Whereas a medical bill has a set dollar amount, noneconomic damages do not require proof of a specific amount. Instead, the car accident victim (called a “plaintiff”) must prove the pain and suffering, emotional damages, and mental anguish through testimony of witnesses and medical documentation.
Noneconomic damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Physical pain
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Lost quality of life
- Interference with daily activities
- Mental anguish
- Emotional suffering and distress
- Loss of earning capacity (ability to earn money)
Under Georgia law, there is no limit on the amount of damages a car accident victim can recover. This includes both economic and noneconomic damages. Generally, courts and juries will decide the amount of noneconomic damages (pain and suffering) by hearing witness testimony about how much the victim has gone through.
Lawyer tip:
How much are my car accident damages?
In order to determine the amount of your car accident damages, we look at the circumstances of your accident and the severity of your injuries. The more severe the accident, the higher your damages may be. One of our car accident lawyers will be able to speak with you and determine the extent of your car accident damages.
What does a car accident lawyer do?
A car accident lawyer’s job is to make sure the client gets the maximum amount of injury compensation. We fight to make sure injured victims get the financial compensation they deserve. If you have been hurt in a car accident that was caused by another person or company’s negligence, then you have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A car accident lawyer steps in and helps you do this. We deal with the insurance company so that you don’t have to.
Car accident lawyers do the following things during your case:
- Explain your rights: Most car accident victims do not have experience with the car accident claims process. They may not know what they have a right to under Georgia law. A lawyer is able to explain this process and make sure you understand all of your rights. They can also answer any questions about the insurance claims process.
- Specialized legal advice: There may be many people telling you many different things after a car accident. But, the most important opinion is the advice from an experienced car accident lawyer. Your lawyer will be able to advise you in making the right decisions and make sure you are on the road to recovering maximum compensation
- Settlement negotiations: In the beginning of the car accident settlement process, the insurance company will probably make a low-ball offer. This offer will probably not even cover your medical bills, much less lost wages and pain and suffering. You should not accept the first offer, ever. A car accident lawyer will be able to use their specialized knowledge and negotiate against the insurance company to win you a strong settlement.
- Represent you in court: The majority of car accident cases are settled during the negotiations phase. But, sometimes the insurance company tries to get off too cheap. A car accident lawyer can advise you on the best course of action regarding whether or not to file a lawsuit. If a car accident lawsuit is the next step, then your lawyer will represent you in court.

How are car accident settlements calculated in Georgia?
The amount of a final car accident settlement can vary depending on the case. In Georgia, a victim of a car accident can recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other categories. Our car accident lawyers will use your medical bills, car repair bills, and other factors to determine the value of your case. Then we can determine how much we can get the insurance company to pay.
I don't fee that hurt. Should I still seek medical treatment?
Sometimes car accident injuries and pain does not immediately show up. We often see clients who may not have noticed their injuries right away. This is especially true for injuries like concussions and traumatic brain injuries. Some injuries do not have immediate symptoms. We always recommend that you see a doctor as soon as possible after a car accident. That way you can be sure you are properly evaluated and your rights will be protected if you need to file a car accident injury claim.
