Georgia Car Accident Laws
Georgia is an "at-fault" or "tort" state for auto insurance. This means the person who caused the accident is responsible for paying for the resulting damages. Victims can file a claim:
- With their own insurance company (if they have coverage like MedPay or collision)
- With the at-fault driver’s insurance company
- Through a personal injury lawsuit
Any car accident in Georgia that results in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $500 must be reported to the police.
Georgia drivers must carry at least:
- $25,000 in bodily injury liability per person
- $50,000 in bodily injury liability per accident
- $25,000 in property damage liability
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can help cover your losses.

Cobb County’s Dangerous Paths: A Closer Look
Accidents can occur on any stretch of roadway, but Cobb County unfortunately holds the dubious distinction of having some of Georgia’s deadliest stretches of highway. Studies of data from the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System identified a nearly 4.5-mile stretch of South Cobb Drive, a 1.07-mile section of I-75 in Kennesaw, and a span of I-20 in Atlanta as having the highest numbers of fatality crashes in the state.
Whether they result in fatalities, significant injuries, or more minor damage, there is no question that highway accidents can cause long-lasting physical and emotional trauma for victims and their loved ones. The car and trucking accident attorneys at Van Sant Law understand this and are here to help.

-
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer at Van Sant Law?
Our Smyrna personal injury attorneys operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case.
-
What should I do after a car accident in Smyrna?
Immediately check for injuries, call 911, document the scene, collect contact information from other drivers and witnesses, and seek medical attention. Then, contact a Smyrna personal injury lawyer for legal guidance.
-
How long will my personal injury case take?
Every case is unique. Some settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more if litigation is necessary.
-
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule, as long as you were less than 50% at fault, you can recover damages—though they will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
-
What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may be able to file a claim under your own UM/UIM coverage, if you have it.
