Alpharetta Personal Injury Attorney

When it comes to car accidents, all drivers must carry minimum liability insurance:

• $25,000 for bodily injury per person
• $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
• $25,000 for property damage per accident

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UM/UIM) is optional but recommended.

Drivers in Georgia are legally required to report an accident to the police if any of the following apply:

• There is an injury or death
• There is property damage of $500 or more

You must report the accident to the local police, sheriff, or state patrol as soon as possible. A police report helps document:

• The scene of the crash
• The involved parties
• Witness statements
• Officer opinions on fault

This report can be critical in proving liability and negotiating with insurers.

The statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33).

Hiring an Alpharetta car accident attorney can help if:

• You're seriously injured
• Fault is disputed
• The insurance company denies or minimizes your claim
• Multiple parties are involved

Our team can handle negotiations, gather evidence, and represent you in court if needed.

We have recovered millions of dollars for past clients, demonstrating our commitment to pursuing favorable outcomes. While past successes are not guarantees for future cases, we know what it takes to seek results.

We Go Up Against Insurance Companies for Our Clients

Dealing with insurance companies after a personal injury is rarely straightforward. While their primary goal is to settle claims, they often aim to do so in a way to minimize their financial exposure. 

Tactics employed can involve:

• Disputing liability
• Claiming that the injured party was responsible
• Underestimating the full extent of your injuries

The settlement insurers offer may seem fair from their perspective. Still, it's critical to remember that their goal is to protect their financial interests — not yours.

Backed by over two decades serving Alpharetta and the surrounding areas, we’ve seen firsthand how insurers attempt to shift blame or devalue claims. Our team includes former defense attorneys who once represented large insurance companies. This insider knowledge allows us to anticipate and counter their strategies.

We leverage our deep understanding of insurance company operations to fight for fair outcomes. Our approach is rooted in the belief that you deserve compensation reflecting the impact of your injuries — not a figure that serves the insurance company's financial stability.
