What a Car Accident Claim Can Cover<\/h2>\n

A car accident claim asks for compensation for losses the crash caused. Those losses can include medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n

Common crash types include rear-end collisions, intersection and left-turn crashes, lane-change and sideswipe crashes, and crashes involving distracted or impaired drivers.<\/p>\n

General damages are those the law presumes flow from a wrongful act, and they need no proof of an exact amount (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-2<\/a>). Special damages must be proved. For medical bills, special damages are limited to the reasonable value of medically necessary care (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-1.1<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Related claims have their own rules. Drivers must use due care to avoid colliding with pedestrians on a roadway (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-6-93<\/a>). Motorcycle riders must wear protective headgear that meets state standards (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 40-6-315<\/a>). Rideshare crashes involving Uber or Lyft and truck crashes can each raise different questions.<\/p>\n

Some crashes cause catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, amputation, or severe burns. Others end in death. Under Georgia law, a surviving spouse, or children if there is no spouse, may recover the full value of the decedent’s life, as shown by the evidence (O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-4-2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Georgia’s At-Fault System: Who Pays After a Crash<\/h2>\n

Georgia is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused the crash is generally responsible for the injuries and losses. The state’s auto insurance guidance<\/a> explains at-fault liability coverage and how it differs from no-fault systems.<\/p>\n

Fault is usually shown with the police report, witness statements, photos, and medical records. Gather these early, while the scene and memories are still fresh.<\/p>\n
