Auto collisions are one of the leading causes of death and injury among persons of all ages. Statistics from the Government reflect that approximately 6 million collisions occur each year with over 40,000 fatalities. Injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision can have far reaching or even catastrophic effects.

In Georgia, the injured person and his/her family, may be entitled, to money compensation for injuries arising from auto, truck, motorcycle and pedestrian collisions.

Georgia law requires that drivers maintain auto insurance. In cases where the tortfeasor driver has insufficient or no auto insurance at all, the injured person may be eligible for compensation from his/her own insurance company under its uninsured/underinsured policy. Even in situations where the injured person was partially at fault, Georgia law may permit a partial recovery. The comparative fault doctrine in Georgia allows for compensation to an injured person who is less than 50% at fault in a motor vehicle collision.
