If You Suffered Harm, We’re Ready to Represent You
Car accident injuries can range from minor to catastrophic. Our College Park personal injury attorneys represent victims with cases involving:
- Chest and abdominal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Back and spinal injuries
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue injuries (such as bruises, sprains, and strains)
- Deep cuts and lacerations
- Internal organ damage and bleeding
- Neck injuries (whiplash)
- Facial injuries
- Emotional and mental trauma
In general, significant injuries lead to significant medical expenses because you are likely to require extensive medical treatment and a long recovery period. Also, your injuries and recovery may prevent you from working. Our goal is to help you achieve fair compensation for your past and future healthcare costs and financial losses. Your attention should be solely focused on healing so you can let us handle the legal process of your personal injury claim.
See A Doctor As Soon As Possible
To receive the healthcare you need for your timely recovery, you should see a doctor as soon as you can. Whether you go to an emergency room or schedule a visit with your primary doctor, they can diagnose your condition and find any hidden injuries. Your doctor can start you on a treatment program and monitor your progress.
Legally, seeing a doctor as soon as possible also protects your personal injury claim. By seeing a doctor early, it establishes a link between your injuries and the accident. It will be less likely that the insurance company will deny your claim based on pre-existing conditions.

We Can Identify Your Damages and Pursue the Compensation You Deserve
When seeking a car accident settlement, you want to ensure your settlement reflects your past and future accident-related expenses. To do this, you need to understand the full scope of your current and expected medical care, as well as the value of your out-of-pocket expenses and pain and suffering.
We will review your bills, receipts, wage records, and other relevant documents to identify every dollar you are owed. For validation purposes, we will enlist the help of medical professionals, economists, psychologists, and therapists who can testify to your damages and necessary future costs.
Depending on the specifics of your accident and injuries, our accident attorneys can pursue compensation for the following:
- Doctors’ bills
- Hospital fees
- Emergency department treatment
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Prescription drugs
- Mobility aids and medical equipment
- Lost income, bonuses, benefits, and tips
- Loss of future earning potential
- Household services
- Property damage
- Stress, anxiety, and mental anguish
- Reduced quality of life
If you lost a loved one in a car accident, the surviving family members may be eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim on their behalf. Wrongful death awards may include the deceased’s medical bills, burial and funeral costs, lost wages, and the loss of their care, counsel, and companionship.

Negligent Drivers Should Pay for Their Actions
A driver is negligent when they fail to operate their vehicle with a reasonable duty of care. Examples of negligence include:
- Texting with driving
- Speeding
- Tailgating
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Disobeying traffic lights and signs
- Driving in the wrong lane
- Reckless or aggressive driving
To secure compensation for your losses, you must build a case proving negligence. Our College Park car accident attorneys can establish these four essential elements:
- Duty of care is the responsibility of all drivers to keep others on the road safe.
- Breach of duty is when a driver engages in one of the behaviors mentioned above (or acts irresponsibly behind the wheel).
- We will establish that the at-fault driver’s breach of duty caused your accident and injuries.
- We will show that your accident and injuries led to financial losses and pain and suffering, also known as damages.
We will prove these elements with the evidence we collect in your case. The evidence will typically include the following:
- Police reports
- Medical records
- Eyewitness testimony
- Accident scene photos
- Surveillance or dashcam video

We Can Determine Fault for Your College Park Car Accident
In Georgia, if you bear 50 percent or more responsibility for your accident, the court will bar you from seeking compensation, according to O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33.
Additionally, any amount of fault below 50 percent that the court assigns you will diminish your awards by that percentage. Our College Park car accident lawyers will work tirelessly to prove the at-fault party caused your injuries and protect you from allegations that you are at fault.
We Will File Your Case Within Georgia’s Car Accident Statute of Limitations
According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you must file your personal injury or wrongful death case within two years of the time of your accident or your family member’s passing, respectively. However, circumstances exist that could shorten this window of time. For example, if your case is against a local government entity, you may only have one year to file your case.
Our car accident lawyers serving College Park can tell you more about how the statute of limitations may affect your lawsuit.
