Understanding What Qualifies as a "Car Accident"
A "car accident" is any type of collision involving a motor vehicle. This can include vehicles such as:
- Cars
- Trucks
- Vans
- SUVs
- Motorcycles
- Buses
- Recreational vehicles
- Motor vehicles that are part of a fleet, such as delivery trucks
Many collisions in and around Savannah happen on busy routes like I-16, I-95, and Abercorn Street, where heavy traffic and frequent lane changes increase the risk of serious crashes. When you meet with us, we take time to listen to how your wreck happened, review police reports and medical records, and explain how Georgia law applies to your specific situation. This careful review helps us distinguish between a minor fender bender and a claim that may benefit from the help of a car accident attorney, especially if your injuries are more serious than they first appeared.

Compensation That May Be Available After a Car Accident
Many people are unsure what types of losses can be included in a car accident claim, which can make it difficult to evaluate whether an insurance offer is reasonable. Under Georgia law, compensation may cover both the financial costs of a crash and the impact it has on your daily life. Understanding these categories can help you think through how the wreck has affected you and your family. We walk you through this analysis so that important harms are not overlooked.
Depending on the facts of your case, recoverable damages may include medical bills, future treatment needs, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity if you cannot return to the same kind of work. You may also be able to seek compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the ways your injuries interfere with activities you enjoyed before the collision. In serious cases, there may be additional claims for long-term care or modifications to your home or vehicle. By carefully documenting these losses and connecting them to the crash, we are better positioned to present a clear claim to the insurance company or, if needed, in a Georgia courtroom.
