Car Accident Laws in Georgia

Georgia follows a traditional “fault” system when it comes to car accident claims, which means you have the option of seeking damages from an at-fault driver in the event of an accident. Any driver who commits negligence that leads to injury may be liable for the following types of damages:

• Economic damages. These include the quantifiable expenses of your injuries: medical bills, lost wages, any loss in earning capacity, and even the ongoing costs of your rehabilitation. Compensation for property damage is also included.
• General damages. These compensate for the intangible losses of your accident. In a car accident, these may include loss of partnership or guidance, pain, suffering, or loss in life quality.

Car Accidents in Johns Creek

Johns Creek is an idyllic town, enjoying a slower pace of suburban life. Though it may be one of the greatest towns in the U.S., it’s not immune to car accidents. Three major state routes cut through town, bringing commercial trucks and cars from all over the state to the area. Several factors may play a role in Johns Creek car accidents, including:

• Distracted driving. Though Georgia is one of many states to have statutes that discourage distracted driving, not everyone follows them.
• Inclement weather. As the northeast seat of Fulton County, Johns Creek is not a stranger to the occasional snow or ice storm – but even wet pavement can contribute to car accidents at any time of year.
• Speeding. Driving too fast is one of the biggest contributing factors to car accidents around the nation.
• Drunk driving. Operating under the influence of alcohol or any intoxicating substance can lead to disastrous consequences. Thousands of Americans are killed or injured each year due to drunk driving.
