To recover monetary damages following a car accident, a victim must first meet their legal burden of proof. Specifically, they must show that another driver violated their duty to act reasonably and carefully. For example, the other driver might have texted while driving, broken the speed limit, or drove under the influence of alcohol.
Next, the accident victim must show that as a direct result of this breach, the car accident occurred.
Finally, the accident victim must prove that they suffered at least one physical injury as a direct, unforeseeable result of their accident. The accident victim may need to introduce medical testimony to establish this last legal element.
For example, a treating healthcare provider can testify, or write in a medical report, that the accident victim’s injuries directly relate to the car accident.
Once a car crash victim in Atlanta can satisfy their legal burden of proof, they can recover monetary damages. They can recover these damages through a favorable monetary settlement from the insurance company or litigation in the Georgia court system.
The total monetary damages that an accident victim can recover will depend on the nature and extent of their injuries, the type of car accident, the force of the collision, the scope of their medical treatment, and the total cost of their medical care.
Monetary awards in car accident cases may include compensation for:

Car accidents can occur anywhere in Atlanta, but they are more common on some roads than others. Some roads are dangerous due to the high volume of speeding and intoxicated drivers, while others are dangerous because of the surrounding infrastructure.
Some of the most dangerous area roads include:
Car accidents in the Atlanta region can happen for various reasons, but they typically involve some form of driver error or negligence. When people drive carelessly or recklessly, they may cause several different types of accidents.
Some of the most common Atlanta car crashes involve:
Although specific accident circumstances may vary from case to case, the typical cause of these accidents is driver negligence. When another driver operates their vehicle carelessly or recklessly, such as by violating traffic laws, they are more likely to cause a crash, leading to debilitating injuries.
Some of the most common traffic violations that cause accidents include failing to yield the right-of-way to other vehicles at the proper times, speeding, failing to use turn signals when switching lanes or making a turn, failing to use rear view and side view mirrors, and failing to use vehicle technology properly, such as lane change warnings and backup cameras.
In addition to road-rule violations, some traffic accidents happen when drivers exhibit road rage. Road rage refers to a driver’s inappropriate response or reaction to a roadway situation that arises.
For example, drivers may become angry or upset if they encounter slow-moving traffic, resorting to various reckless driving maneuvers. An angry driver may aggressively weave around traffic, cut off other vehicles in traffic, honk their horns, speed, and tailgate other drivers.
Unfortunately, these reckless driving maneuvers may lead to a severe traffic accident that involves one or more vehicles.
At other times, traffic accidents occur when drivers engage in distracted driving. Instead of watching the road, a driver might pay attention to a podcast, text, make a phone call, program a GPS, or converse with passengers.
When drivers engage in these activities, they often lose focus or take their eyes off the road. Even if a driver does this briefly, they may fail to see a nearby vehicle or pedestrian, causing a severe traffic accident.
Finally, some Atlanta car crashes result from intoxicated driving. When a driver consumes alcohol or drugs and then gets behind the wheel of a car, they are likely to cause various traffic accidents. This is because intoxicated drivers frequently experience physical and mental impairment, such as dizziness, blurred vision, limited concentration, and delayed reflexes.
As a result of these consequences, a driver might fail to see an approaching vehicle or pedestrian. Alternatively, the driver may not react in time to an emergency, preventing them from stopping their vehicle in time to avoid an accident.
You are not alone if you suffer injuries in a traffic accident resulting from one of these types of driver errors.
The knowledgeable Atlanta car accident attorneys at TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers can assist you with every aspect of your case, from investigating the accident circumstances to negotiating with insurance company adjusters or litigating your case in the court system. Let us help you pursue the favorable monetary damages you need for your injuries.
The injuries that an Atlanta car crash victim suffers depend upon the type of accident, the amount of force involved, and the way their body moves in the vehicle during the crash.
Some of the most common injuries that car crash victims may suffer include soft tissue neck and back infusions, broken bones, rib fractures, internal organ damage, internal bleeding, traumatic brain injuries, paralysis injuries, spinal cord injuries, open cuts, and bruises.
While you focus your attention on obtaining medical treatment and getting better, our legal team can start gathering the documents necessary to prove your case. We can then introduce these documents to the insurance company after you complete most of your medical treatment.
Following an Atlanta car crash, the accident victim’s lawyer usually deals with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. However, no insurance company will do you any favors or help you recover favorable monetary damages.
In fact, the insurance company’s primary goal is to undervalue your case and pay you as little settlement compensation as possible. Insurance companies stand to lose a lot of money if they must pay a large personal injury settlement, jury verdict, or arbitration award in a car accident case.
Some insurance companies will even blame the accident victim for their accident or physical injuries. Alternatively, the insurance company may allege that the accident victim’s injuries are preexisting and the accident didn’t cause them.
Our legal team can fight the insurance company head-on and aggressively pursue your legal interests. We can highlight the strengths of your medical records and obtain qualified experts to highlight the nature and extent of your car accident injuries. Moreover, if the insurance company does not offer you favorable settlement compensation, we can threaten them with litigation, if necessary, and pursue your case in the court system.
Following a car crash in Atlanta, complete your medical treatment regimen by attending all appointments and waiting for a medical provider to formally discharge you. These actions increase your chances of recovering a favorable settlement award from the insurance company.
Next, you should collect and retain all pertinent documents in your case. Those documents may include police reports, witness contact information, medical bills, medical records, photographs of your injuries, and property damage photographs. Once we enter an appearance in your case, you can forward us those documents, which we can assemble into a settlement demand package.
Following a car crash, always retain legal counsel as quickly as possible. Otherwise, you may jeopardize your right to recover the fair monetary damages you deserve. Our legal team can start working on your case immediately, aggressively fighting for your legal rights and interests.
At TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers, we fight for our clients and help them pursue the maximum monetary compensation available in their cases. If you recently sustained injuries in a car accident that was not your fault, let us help you take the legal steps necessary to recover the monetary compensation you deserve.
