Car Accident
Attorney
Car accidents can turn your life upside down in an instant, leaving you with medical bills, lost income, and a claims process that can feel overwhelming. If you were injured in a car accident in Buckhead or Atlanta, Buckhead Law Group is here to handle the insurance companies and paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
Why You Need a Car Accident Attorney
Insurance companies are focused on protecting their bottom line, not on making sure you're fully compensated. An attorney levels the playing field by investigating the crash, documenting your damages, and negotiating firmly on your behalf — or taking your case to court if necessary.
"Insurance companies protect their profits. We protect your right to full compensation."
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Distracted driving
Speeding and reckless driving
Driving under the influence
Running red lights or stop signs
Rear-end collisions
Failure to yield
Poor weather conditions
Injuries & Compensation
Car accidents can cause anything from whiplash and soft tissue injuries to fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. Compensation can potentially include:
Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Vehicle repair or replacement costs
Pain and suffering
Wrongful death damages in fatal accidents
Georgia Law You Should Know
Minimum Liability Insurance Requirements
Georgia requires drivers to carry minimum liability insurance, and the state follows a comparative negligence framework, meaning your compensation can be affected by your own degree of fault, if any is assigned. There are also time limits for filing a claim. This is general information, not legal advice — our attorneys can explain how it applies to your case.
Comparative Negligence Rules
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as your share of fault is less than 50%. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check for injuries and call 911, move to safety if possible, exchange information with the other driver, photograph the scene and vehicles, and get medical attention even if you feel okay — some injuries aren't immediately obvious.
It's best to speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurance company other than your own, since adjusters may use your words to minimize your claim.
Georgia's comparative negligence rules may still allow you to recover compensation even if you share some fault, though it can reduce the amount. An attorney can explain how this applies to your case.
Georgia law sets a deadline for filing injury claims, so it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
Most car accident claims settle through negotiation, but our attorneys prepare every case as if it may go to trial so the insurance company knows we won't accept a lowball offer.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
