Car Accident Injuries

Even if you do not experience immediate pain, car accident injuries can result in a wide range of injuries, including:

  • Concussions or Traumatic Brain Injuries – Concussions are traumatic brain injuries and can result anytime the brain is exposed to rapid movement inside the skull. This can occur with or without blunt force trauma to the head. In other words, you can suffer a traumatic brain injury even if the head does not make physical contact with another object. Symptoms of a traumatic brain injury include changes in vision and hearing, headaches, nausea or vomiting, short term memory loss and depression.
  • Neck or Back Injuries – Injuries to the spinal cord in the neck and back are extremely common following a car accident. Symptoms of a neck injury can include radiating neck and arm pain, as well as numbness and tingling in the fingers. Similarly, symptoms of a back injury can include radiating back, groin and buttock pain, as well as numbness and tingling in the toes.
  • Shoulder, Wrist, Knee, and Ankle Injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Paralysis
  • Injuries to internal organs

Investigation at Davies Hothem Injury Law

According to the Georgia Dept. of Public Health, auto accidents are the leading cause of hospitalizations and emergency room visits in Georgia. In 2020 alone, there were 1,588 traffic fatalities on our roads.

Some of the most common forms of negligent driving behavior in Georgia include:

  • Distracted driving – this includes all forms of distractions such as texting, setting media devices and GPS directions, eating, drinking, or even diverting attention to other passengers in the vehicle
  • Impaired driving – including driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medications, or over-the-counter medications
  • Drowsy driving – drowsy driving in many instances is the equivalent of impaired driving
  • Reckless driving – including weaving, tailgating, running lights and stop signs, and road rage
  • Speeding – including driving in excess of posted speed limits or driving too fast for current road, weather, or traffic conditions

Determining the cause of an accident is a critical component to establishing liability in any car accident case. Only when the cause of an accident is properly investigated can all sources of insurance coverage be determined. For example, if in the above situation where a driver was distracted by using his or her cell phone while operating a commercial motor vehicle, the motor carrier’s liability coverage should come into play. Another example would be a driver’s impairment due alcohol he or she was overserved with at a local restaurant or bar, in which a general commercial liability policy may come into play.

When you hire Davies Hothem Injury Law, we guarantee that your case will be thoroughly investigated, and all sources of insurance are uncovered so that you are fully and fairly compensated for the injuries you suffered.

How is Fault Determined in a Car Accident in Georgia?

Our immediate first step at Davies Hothem Injury Law is to gather all evidence that establishes liability regardless of investigating law enforcement’s determination of fault. Surprisingly, insurance adjusters will dispute an officer’s finding that its insured was at-fault if there is even the slightest reason to do so. For this reason, among others, it is imperative that evidence be preserved before it is lost, including 911 calls, body cam, dash cam, witness statements, store or other video surveillance and in some cases, black box data from all of the involved vehicles. Black box data can be informative as to speed, steering input and braking seconds before, during and after a crash.

When you have the representation of the experienced Dawsonville, GA car accident lawyers at Davies Hothem Injury Law on your side, we will leave no stone unturned to prove liability and maximize the recovery in your case.
