Where Atlanta Crashes Happen
Many of our cases start on the roads every Atlanta driver knows. I-285 carries heavy truck traffic around the city. The Downtown Connector, where I-75 and I-85 run together, packs commuters into tight lanes. GA-400 and the express lanes on I-75 and I-575 add merging and lane changes. Surface streets like Peachtree Road bring cars, pedestrians and cyclists close together.
If you drive these routes, our guides on Atlanta’s reversible lanes and rear-end crashes on I-285 explain how fault is decided.
Georgia Law Every Atlanta Injury Victim Should Know
- Two-year deadline: Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.
- Shared fault: Georgia reduces your award by your share of fault. If you are 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33.
- Claims against the City of Atlanta: Written notice is generally required within six months of the injury.
- At-fault insurance: Georgia is an at-fault state, so the driver who caused a crash and their insurer pay for the harm.
