An average of more than 50,000 vehicles travel on Highway 92 through Woodstock each day. On I-575, that number can top 100,000. That’s a lot of traffic, though highways aren’t necessarily the most dangerous places to drive.

Nationwide, speeding on straight rural roads is a major factor in crashes, but in Georgia, almost twice the number of fatal crashes take place in urban settings than rural settings.

Car accidents can happen anywhere—and unfortunately, even people who are driving safely can get hurt when other drivers are negligent.

    Car Accidents and Injuries

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that over 2 million people are injured every year in car accidents. In addition, 10 million or more crashes may go unreported each year.

    Collisions can happen several different ways, and can be categorized as follows:

    • Rear-end collisions, the most frequent type of crash
    • Head-on collisions, typically the most dangerous type of crash
    • Side-on collisions, common at intersections in urban areas
    • Single-vehicle crashes, which include collisions with stationary objects and rollovers
    • Multi-vehicle crashes, a term which describes an accident that creates a chain reaction of accidents with other nearby vehicles

    While certain injuries may be more common with particular types of crashes—even a small rear-end collision can result in a whiplash/soft tissue injury, for example—vehicle size, safety features, speed traveled, and other factors mean any type of accident can cause a wide range of injuries.

    Injuries frequently sustained in car accidents include the following:

    • Cuts or lacerations, which can be caused by items thrown around by the collision and by broken glass
    • Broken bones, which may be caused by impact with the steering wheel or something else—it’s even possible for ribs or the sternum to be injured by force against the seat belt
    • Herniated discs, a tear or rupture that can happen due to the shock of impact
    • Internal damage or bleeding, also typically caused by the shock of impact
    • Soft tissue injuries to the neck and spine, which can be painful long-term and limit your motion and function
    • Concussions and other head injuries, which can cause mental impairment as well as headaches and other pain

    While it is possible to make a full recovery from these injuries, that is not always the case. A car accident may result in long-term pain or even a permanent disability.

    How Much Compensation Will I Get for a Car Accident Injury?

    As your car accident lawyers, we can help you calculate the settlement you may be eligible to receive after your accident. We will help you calculate this based on: Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disabilities and emotional damages. The total amount will depend primarily on the specific elements of your case.

    Georgia Car Insurance Laws

    In Georgia, drivers are required to carry minimum liability insurance of $25,000 for the injury or death of one individual in an accident they cause, $50,000 for total injuries or deaths for accidents where more than one person is injured, and $25,000 for property damage.

    Car Accident Liability Laws

    Georgia car accident laws also implements a "fault" system when it comes to determining liability. This means that the person responsible for causing the accident is also responsible for the damages caused to the other party. The injured party has to option to pursue compensation in one of three different ways:

    • Filing a claim with their own insurance company, at which point the insurance company can pursue compensation from the responsible party's insurance
    • Filing a claim directly with the other party's insurance
    • Filing a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party

    Georgia's Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents

    The statute of limitations in Georgia for action in a personal injury case is two years. For a car accident, this means that you have two years from the date the accident occurred to take legal action.

    Typically, within that timeframe, it becomes apparent if a car accident created a long-term injury. But even shortly after the accident, it’s a good idea to contact a car accident lawyer just so that you understand your options and the legal process in case you have a personal injury claim.
