Introduction
A car accident can change your life in an instant—leaving you with physical injuries, emotional trauma, and unexpected financial burdens. If you were injured in a crash caused by someone else’s negligence, Georgia law gives you the right to pursue compensation. At Singh Toro Law, we help Georgia car accident victims get the justice they deserve through skilled legal representation and personalized support.
Georgia Is an At-Fault State: What That Means
In Georgia, the at-fault driver (and their insurance company) is responsible for paying damages. That means you must prove the other party was negligent to receive compensation.
Common forms of driver negligence include:
- Distracted driving (e.g., texting)
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
- Tailgating or unsafe lane changes
What to Do Immediately After a Car Crash in Georgia
- Call 911 – Always report the accident to police.
- Get medical help – Injuries may be hidden at first.
- Take photos – Capture damage, road conditions, and injuries.
- Exchange information – Collect driver, insurance, and witness info.
- Do not admit fault – Your words can be used against you.
- Contact a car accident attorney before speaking to insurers.
Common Injuries in Car Accidents
Even low-speed crashes can cause lasting injuries:
- Whiplash and neck pain
- Back and spinal injuries
- Concussions and TBIs
- Broken bones or fractures
- Soft tissue damage
- Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety)
What Compensation Can You Recover?
Under Georgia law, accident victims may receive:
- Emergency and long-term medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Emotional distress
- Future medical needs (e.g., rehab, surgery)
Understanding Georgia’s Comparative Fault Rule
If you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages—as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Example: $100,000 in damages – 20% at fault = $80,000 compensation.
