    Augusta’s Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections

    On an average day in Augusta, there are typically anywhere between 26 and 27 traffic accidents. While these wrecks can happen anywhere, there are parts of the city that tend to see more wrecks than others.

    What is My Augusta Car Accident Case Worth?

    Car wrecks can cause thousands of dollars in damage. For serious injury cases, you might rack up hundreds of thousands in medical bills alone. It’s important to make sure you get the full compensation you deserve.
    Many different factors can influence car accident settlements. To calculate the fair value of your case, we will examine:
    The type and severity of your injuries
    Whether you’ll suffer a permanent disability or impairment
    The cost of your medical treatment
    Whether you’ll need ongoing future medical care
    The value of your lost wages and property damage
    Whether you’ll require help completing everyday tasks
    The emotional and physical pain and trauma you’ve suffered
    Call our law firm to schedule your free case review to learn more about our team and practice areas.

    What Types of Damages Are Available to Car Accident Victims?

    Georgia personal injury laws allow crash victims to recover compensation for their economic and non-economic losses.
    Your economic damages award may include money for:
    Past and future medical expenses
    Lost wages
    Lost future earning potential
    Rehabilitation
    Property damage
    Any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred because of the accident
    Non-economic damages compensate for losses that can’t be easily valued:
    Physical and emotional pain and suffering
    Mental anguish, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD
    Diminished quality of life
    Physical disfigurement and scarring
    Loss of consortium

    Can I Recover Damages If I’m Being Blamed for a Car Accident?

    It’s common for insurance companies to blame the victim after a car wreck. If you’re being blamed for an accident, don’t panic. You don’t automatically lose your right to compensation even if you are partly responsible for the wreck.

    The state of Georgia has a modified comparative negligence law. Under this rule, you will lose your right to compensation if you’re found 50% or more responsible for the crash.

    Georgia law gives insurance companies a powerful incentive to blame you for getting hurt. It’s important to be prepared for a fight. The skill of your lawyer will be important in these cases, so give us a call today for help fighting back.

    How Do I Prove Negligence After a Car Accident in Georgia?

    To prove negligence, you’ll have to establish four things:

    How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Car Accident?

    We Handle All Types of Car Accident Cases in Augusta, GA

    Distracted Driving Accidents

    Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of car accidents in Georgia. It can take many forms, including eating, texting, and using the phone. If a distracted driver caused your accident, you could be entitled to substantial compensation.

    DUI Accidents

    Impaired driving is extremely dangerous. It can slow a driver’s reaction time, distort their vision, and cloud their judgment. If a drunk driver caused your accident, they could be liable for the resulting damages.

    Hit & Run Accidents

    Hit and runs happen all the time in Augusta. Unfortunately, these collisions can leave you with limited opportunities for recovering compensation. However, you do have options.

    Rear-End Crashes

    Rear-end crashes are commonly thought of as “fender benders.” But these collisions can cause catastrophic injuries, including whiplash, head/brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more.
