Milton Auto Accident Lawyers

Our Milton auto accident attorneys understand that car accidents are an unavoidable and extremely frequent occurrence impacting the lives of millions of Americans every day across the country. When you are involved in a sudden, unexpected car accident, it can impact every aspect of your life, including your family relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Milton drivers face the challenges of heavy traffic, impatient drivers, and a system of freeways and roads that are struggling to keep up with our population.

Anyone who experiences any type of injury in a car accident should see their doctor. There are many injuries ranging from whiplash injuries to traumatic brain injuries which are common in car accidents that are not obvious for some period after the collision. Delays in seeking medical care for a brain injury can be particularly serious because sometimes bleeding in the space between the brain and skull can cause permanent brain damage, loss of physical and mental functioning or speech capability, and even death. Even with less severe injuries, prompt medical attention can mean a substantially more favorable medical outcome. A supplemental advantage of prompt medical attention is that it will discourage the other driver’s insurance company from claiming that your injuries were not caused by the collision or were not serious enough to compel you to obtain medical attention.

There is a virtually limitless variation of Milton car accidents that involve different types of vehicles and types of impact, such as the following:

Head-On Collisions
Drunk Driving Accidents
Side Impact Crashes
Bus Crashes
Multi-Car Collisions
Distracted Driving Crashes
Rollover Collisions
Motorcycle Collisions
Rear-Enders
Back Over Accidents
Bicycle Collision
Uninsured or unlicensed driving accidents
Sideswipe Collisions
Single Vehicle Road Departure Accidents
Pedestrian Accidents
Hit and Run Crashes
Fatigued Driver Accidents
Chain Reaction Wrecks

Whether you are involved in any of these types of collisions or another type of accident, your Milton automobile accident attorneys will have the experience to pursue legal action based most typically on the legal theory of negligence. Negligence is generally expressed as an act or omission that creates a foreseeable risk of harm to another. In the context of a car accident, negligence effectively refers to unreasonably unsafe driving conduct that creates a foreseeable risk of harm. This may include actual traffic violations but need not constitute a violation of traffic safety laws. An Milton car accident attorney must also establish that your injuries were actually caused by the collision. This may include aggravation of a pre-existing condition. While it is impossible to list all the various types of driver negligence that may form the basis of an Milton auto accident case, some of the most typical causes include the following:

Not allowing sufficient following distance
Failing to stop at red lights or stop signs
Ignoring yield signs or right-of-way rules
Driving while impaired by legal medications, illegal drugs or alcohol
Exceeding the speed limit or failing to adjust one’s speed to account for weather conditions
Illegal or unsafe turns
Failure to conduct maintenance like checking tire tread and pressure
Not checking blind spots when merging or changing lanes
Aggressive driving practices
Drivers that are distracted mentally, visually, or physically

One of the sad realities of car accidents in Milton or throughout Georgia is that drivers who are thoughtlessly inconsiderate or careless often cause them. These accidents can often result in injuries that are debilitating, require long-term care, and cause permanent incapacity of varying degrees. Injuries that most often inflict permanent disability and incapacity include damage to the spinal cord, brain injuries, amputation injuries, quadriplegia and paraplegia. Other injuries that may cause intense pain and require a significant period of recovery include broken bones, whiplash injuries, severe burns, and torn tendons and ligaments.
