How We Handle Your Car Accident Lawsuit
Filing a car accident lawsuit in Georgia means meeting strict deadlines and gathering the right evidence before the trail goes cold. We act fast. Within the first week, we request the accident report, preserve any dashcam or traffic camera footage, and contact witnesses. Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations on most car accident cases, but waiting costs you evidence.
Whether your case resolves through a car accident settlement or goes to a jury, we build it the same way: facts first, strategy second. We don't pad claims or overreach because that backfires. We document every dollar of your auto injury damages and present it clearly.
Auto Accident Representation That Goes the Distance
A lot of firms advertise auto accident representation but settle every case before discovery. We don't work that way. If the insurer lowballs you, we file. Our car accident attorneys are trial lawyers, not negotiators who happen to have a law license.
We represent clients hurt in all types of collisions, from highway rear-enders to intersection T-bones. Collision injury cases vary a lot in complexity. Some involve disputed liability. Others involve serious disputes over medical causation. We handle both.
What Counts as a Car Accident Personal Injury Claim
Any auto accident where someone else's negligence caused your injury can be the basis for a personal injury claim. That includes crashes caused by distracted drivers, drunk drivers, drivers who ran red lights, and drivers who weren't paying attention in parking lots. Auto injuries range from whiplash and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries and spinal damage.
As a personal injury attorney firm, Howe.Law also handles cases where multiple parties share fault. Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you're less than 50 percent at fault. We analyze every car accident case to make sure fault is assigned correctly.
