According to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), there were over 385,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2023, leading to 1,680 fatalities and nearly 150,000 injuries statewide. Atlanta alone accounted for more than 20% of those accidents due to heavy traffic, construction zones, and distracted driving. These numbers highlight why hiring an experienced Atlanta personal injury attorney is essential.

Understanding Georgia’s Personal Injury Laws

Every state has unique laws governing personal injury claims. In Georgia:

  • The statute of limitations allows two years from the date of injury to file a claim.
  • Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you’re less than 50% at fault—but your compensation is reduced by your fault percentage.
  • There are no caps on pain and suffering damages for most injury cases, allowing fair recovery for physical and emotional loss.

Our team explains every step clearly and ensures you meet all filing deadlines and evidentiary requirements.

What to Do After an Accident in Atlanta

  1. Get Medical Attention Immediately — Your health comes first. Visit a nearby trauma center such as Grady Memorial Hospital or Emory University Hospital.
  2. Call the Police — File an official accident report with the Atlanta Police Department. This will serve as vital evidence for your claim.
  3. Document the Scene — Take photos, gather witness names, and save all receipts and bills.
  4. Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters Alone — Their goal is to minimize your payout. Contact our office before signing or recording any statement.
  5. Call Rafaeli Law PLLC — Our attorneys can start your case evaluation immediately and preserve key evidence.

  • Lost Wages: Reimbursement for time missed at work.
  • Property Damage: Vehicle or personal property repair.
  • Pain and Suffering: Emotional distress and reduced quality of life.
