Steps to Take Following a Car Accident in Atlanta
Here’s what you need to do after you’ve been in a car crash in Atlanta:
- Dial 911 – Make sure everyone is safe and call the police.
- Collect Evidence – Take photos and gather contact information from the other driver and any nearby witnesses.
- Receive Medical Attention – Even if you feel fine, get checked out. Some injuries don’t become symptomatic for a day or more.
- Get a Police Report – This document is crucial evidence when you’re dealing with insurance companies and building your case.
- Call Ted A. Greve & Associates, PA – Before the insurance companies start playing hardball, get our team on your side.
- Contact Your Insurance Company – Let your insurer know about the accident, but then turn over all communications with them to your lawyer. They are not your friends, even though they seem concerned. They’re looking out for their bottom line.
Understanding the Legal Process and Compensation
The Statute of Limitations for a Car Accident in Georgia
You have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit under Georgia’s statute of limitations. That sounds like a lot of time, but the clock ticks fast, especially when you’re dealing with your injuries. Give your lawyer enough time to build a strong case for you and call them right after you’re injured.
The Role of Evidence and Documenting Your Case Effectively
Gathering evidence after a crash is key to building a strong case and preventing the insurance companies from paying you as little as possible. Our lawyers know how to handle insurers, and we will pursue the compensation you deserve.
Navigating Insurance Claims and Settlement Negotiations
Insurance companies are pros at lowballing. The team at Ted A. Greve & Associates, PA, knows how to counter insurance company tactics. Whether we’re negotiating a settlement or preparing for court, you’ll want our skilled attorneys guiding you through the process.
Evaluating Potential Compensation and Damages
Typical Damages Recoverable in an Atlanta Car Accident Case
You could be entitled to money for a variety of losses, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage
Our team at Ted A. Greve & Associates, PA, knows how to maximize the value of your claim so we can put as much money in your pocket as possible.
Special Considerations and Comparative Negligence in Georgia
Georgia has a “modified comparative negligence” rule. Under this rule, if you’re less than 50% at fault for the accident, you can seek compensation from the at-fault party. But if you’re 50% or more to blame, you lose the right to pursue any compensation at all.
Estimating the Value of Your Car Accident Claim
Totaling the costs of your medical bills, out-of-pocket expenses, and vehicle repairs is simple enough. However, you’ll need the skills of the team at Ted A. Greve & Associates, PA, to assign values to your loss of enjoyment of life and your pain and suffering. They can prevent you from omitting other compensable losses when you demand money from the insurance company.
Choosing the Right Car Accident Lawyer in Atlanta
When you choose a lawyer, you need someone who knows Atlanta, knows Georgia law, and has a track record of winning.
Crucial Qualities to Look for in a Lawyer
Your lawyer should:
- Have a track record of success in car accidents like yours

- Their strategy for obtaining the money you need in your case
- How often they will communicate with you
- Will you talk with your lawyer or a staff member when you call
