Atlanta Auto Accident Law firm With Over 30 Years of Experience
Our Atlanta auto accident law firm understands that an accident can radically impact your life because of the pain and challenges of suffering personal injuries as well as the stress and pressure from dealing with insurance companies and responsible parties. Often, Atlanta auto accidents result in catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputation injuries, and many other injuries that will result in months of recovery and missed employment. In addition to all of these financial difficulties, there will be other physical and emotional hardships that can significantly diminish your quality of life.
Adding insult to injury, insurance companies that learn Atlanta auto accident victims are not represented by experienced attorneys often prey on them. Because these insurance companies handle thousands of car accident claims annually, they are equipped with the experience and resources to utilize their knowledge of the procedural and substantive complexities of the law to reduce settlements and judgments. Even though many insurance company adjusters appear friendly and anxious to help you, their financial interests are in direct opposition to yours. They want you to take a low-ball offer or divulge or admit to damaging facts that adversely impact your recovery. This is why you need an experienced Atlanta auto accident law firm to represent you and stand up for your rights when dealing with insurance companies.
Dangers of Atlanta Auto Accidents
It is no surprise that Atlanta commuters spend a lot of time in heavy traffic. Because of traffic congestion, there is a higher likelihood of collisions that can result from inattentive or careless driving. Tragically, the majority of injury accidents and wrongful deaths involve conduct which is obviously dangerous, such as driving while intoxicated, distracted driving, and excessive speed.
Particularly, inattentive driving is becoming one of the fastest growing causes of serious Atlanta auto accidents. Cell phones and GPS devices are specifically becoming the most common cause of distracted driving. Although Georgia has passed laws to limit the use of these devices, drivers still insist on talking, texting and web surfing while driving.
Common Causes of Atlanta Auto Accidents
In a Atlanta auto accident, the typical basis for imposing liability is the legal principle of negligence. Negligence is a legal term of art that refers to the legal duty a driver owes to others on the road to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent driver would have under the circumstances. Some the common breaches of this duty include:
- Texting while driving
- Driving while intoxicated
- Using devices such as cell phones or GPS while driving
- Excessive speed under the circumstances
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Aggressive driving or failing to yield
- Making an unsafe turn
- Passenger distractions
- Running red lights and stop signs
In addition, public entities may be liable for unsafe or improper maintenance of roadways, or manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers may be liable for defectively manufactured or designed motor vehicles. These two special types of cases are inherently difficult so it is important to seek legal advice promptly if you believe these factors may have been involved if your car accident. Our legal team has a proven track record for success and handles these cases with compassion and expertise.
