Complex Crash Cases with Real Consequences
What We Handle
We handle all types of car accident cases, from distracted driving to fatal collisions. If your case is serious, we’re the right place to start.
Rear-End & Highway Collisions
These crashes often involve high speeds, serious spinal injuries, and long-term recovery. We investigate fully and hold drivers accountable when they fail to stop, slow down, or maintain a safe distance.
Intersection Accidents & T-bones
Crashes in intersections frequently result in severe injuries and disputed liability. We gather surveillance footage, interview witnesses, and challenge false narratives from insurance adjusters.
Drunk & Distracted Driving
We take on cases involving texting drivers, DUIs, and impaired motorists who cause avoidable harm. These are preventable crashes—and we make sure the full story comes to light.
Multi-Vehicle & Chain-Reaction Wrecks
Pile-ups and chain collisions can involve multiple drivers, unclear fault, and complex claims. We sort through the confusion and build a case that reflects what really happened.
Passenger Injuries & Fatal Crashes
We represent passengers injured by friends, strangers, or rideshare drivers, as well as families who’ve lost loved ones in fatal accidents. These cases deserve careful, compassionate handling backed by serious experience.
What You Should Know in Alabama & Georgia
State-Specific Car Accident Laws
Laws in Alabama and Georgia differ in important ways—and knowing those differences matters when it comes to fault, compensation, and deadlines. We’re licensed in both states and understand how to navigate each system.
Alabama uses contributory negligence
which can bar recovery if you’re even 1% at fault, making proper legal strategy critical.
Georgia uses modified comparative fault
allowing recovery as long as you’re less than 50% responsible, but your award may be reduced.
Each state has a two-year statute of limitations
which means you must file your claim within two years of the crash—or risk losing your right to recover.
Car Accident FAQ
Answers to Common Questions After a Crash
Should I talk to the insurance company before speaking with a lawyer?
It’s generally a mistake to speak with the insurance company before you’ve talked to an attorney. Adjusters are trained to gather information that can limit your claim or shift fault onto you. We can help you understand what to say, what not to say, and when to let us handle the communication for you. Protecting your case from the start makes a big difference in the long run.
What if I was partially at fault for the crash?
In Georgia, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault, though your compensation may be reduced based on your share of the blame. In Alabama, the law is far stricter—if you’re found even slightly at fault, you may be barred from recovering anything. That’s why it’s especially important to have an experienced attorney investigate the facts and fight back against unfair fault claims.
How do I know what my car accident case is worth?
The value of your case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. Insurance companies may offer quick settlements that don’t reflect the true cost of what you’ve lost. We work with medical experts, economists, and other professionals to fully evaluate your damages and pursue the compensation you actually need—not just what the insurer wants to offer.
What if the driver who hit me didn’t have insurance?
If the other driver was uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) policy. Many drivers in Alabama and Georgia carry this coverage without realizing it. We can review your policy and identify all potential sources of recovery to make sure you’re not left paying for someone else’s mistake.
Do I have to go to court to win my case?
Many car accident cases settle before trial, but that depends on the insurance company and how fair they’re willing to be. We prepare every case as if it’s going to court—because that’s how we get serious offers. With over 200 jury trials behind us, we’re not afraid to go to court if that’s what it takes to get justice for our clients.
