Our Ellenwood Lawyers Know the Damages Covered by Property Damage Insurance
When your car suffered damage in a crash, but you were not hurt, you may need to pursue a property damage-only claim. While these claims are almost always included in injury accident cases, victims often need to navigate this process to recover money to repair their vehicle when they were not hurt. Sometimes, they might need to handle their property damage claims separately from their injury case for other reasons, too.
When considering the damages covered only by the at-fault driver’s property damage liability policy, victims can seek compensation for:
- Repairs to a damaged car
- Replacement of a totaled car
- Rental car costs
- Repair or replacement of other damaged items
- Diminished value claims based on the decrease in value of your vehicle even after repairs
Our Ellenwood property damage lawyers can document each of these expenses or losses and help you pursue a maximum payout based on them. This should allow you to recover money to repair or replace your car and other damaged property as well as rent a vehicle while you cannot drive your vehicle.

Let Our Ellenwood Attorney Manage Your Car Accident Property Damage Claim
Car accident claims in Georgia are based on fault. Victims hit by negligent drivers—usually after they violate a traffic law to cause a crash—can hold that driver accountable and recover compensation from the at-fault driver’s auto liability insurance provider.
This process is true for both injury and property damage claims. Victims can negotiate with the insurance carrier to reach a fair payout amount or sue the at-fault driver and take the case to a civil trial. In Ellenwood, this trial could occur in a Clayton civil court.
It is imperative that victims understand the full range of recoverable damages in their case and seek maximum compensation from the insurance company. Without recovering the full value of compensation they deserve, they will suffer financial losses due to an accident they did nothing to cause. Hiring an attorney to handle their case means they can focus on healing or returning to their regular activities while the law firm manages the claim.

How Our Lawyers Handle Ellenwood Property Damage Claims
We can handle your property damage claim regardless of whether you have injuries. We manage these claims as a part of a car accident injury case, separately from an injury case, or on a property damage-only case. You might need to file your property damage claim independently from other damages to recover the money sooner and replace or repair your vehicle. Injury claims could take months or even years to settle.
We settle most property damage claims without needing to go to court. We present strong evidence of fault and the related expenses and losses to the insurance company. This often leads to settlement negotiations and an agreement. However, if it does not, it may be necessary to sue the at-fault driver and prepare to take the case to trial.
This could make the case more time-consuming and complex, but it should not deter you from fighting for justice. Litigating the case may be the only way to recover the money you deserve and hold the at-fault driver accountable.
Are the Timelines Different for Injury and Property Damage Claims?
The deadline to sue in a car accident injury case is two years from the crash date, set by O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. The deadline for a property damage lawsuit is often four years (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-32), but both deadlines vary based on the circumstances in your case. However, property damage cases often settle more quickly than injury claims. There are several reasons why:
- The damages are more concrete and usually do not require expert testimony
- You do not have to wait to heal before filing a property damage claim
- The evidence required to document your losses and expenses is generally easy to obtain and verify
- Their value is usually much lower than a serious injury claim
