What To Do After a Car Accident

    Move to Safety

    If possible, move to the shoulder of the road for your safety and the safety of others. 

  • 2

    Call The Police

    Always call the police to obtain a police report for your records. Additionally, call for medical assistance if injuries are sustained in the accident.

  • 3

    Gather Information

    Gather information from all parties involved, including their names, phone numbers, and insurance information. For your records, also take pictures at the scene of all vehicles involved. Try to locate any witnesses at the scene and get their identifying information as well. 

  • 4

    Wait. Don't Admit Fault

    Wait for the police to arrive to investigate the accident that has just occurred. They will then determine the party at fault. 

  • 5

    Seek. Call An Attorney

    Seek legal representation and never pay for a consultation. Find someone that will listen to your case free of cost and determine the best plan of action. 

Common Causes of Car Accidents

  • Distracted Driving

    Texting, eating, doing hair or makeup, reaching for things in the back seat, etc. are all contributing factors to car crashes nationally. Any action that requires you take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel is considered a distraction to your driving. Using your phone to text or place calls is now illegal in the state of Georgia thanks to the Hands-Free Act. This law was designed to decrease the statistics surrounded by distracted driving and car accidents. For more on the Georgia Hands-Free act, visit headsupgeorgia.com

  • Speeding

    Exceeding the speed limit is yet another common cause of car accidents on our Georgia roadways. There was a 25% increase in speed related deaths in 2016 as compared to 2014 throughout the state of Georgia.

  • Roadway Hazards

    Many roadway hazards can be created from construction zones, uneven lanes, potholes, and other debris. All of these factors can easily cause a car accident, especially if you are not prepared to encounter such hazards.

  • Drunk Driving

    Drunk or impaired driving is one of the leading causes of roadway accidents not only in Georgia, but all across the nation. In 2016, impaired drivers were responsible for nearly 400 car crash fatalities, according to the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety.

  • Drowsy Driving

    Drowsy Driving is found most common between the hours of 9 PM and 6 AM according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The NHTSA did reveal, however, that drowsy driving decreased by 3.5% in 2016 compared to the previous year.

    I had a great experience with Brooks Injury. They were very professional and the duo of James and Sara were amazing. James was always honest with me in what to expect. He fought hard for me, and made me feel like he was on my side. Sara … More is also the best, she always updated me on my case, she answered every question, always got back to me in a timely manner. I appreciate them both tremendously. Thank you again, James and Sara.

    My experience with The Brooks Law firm was awesome. During the whole process, I felt like my case was the most important case they had, (Of course I know they had lots of other cases), but that's how they made me feel. I was always … More informed about the process every step of the way. They included me in the decision making and welcomed any ideas that I may have had. The staff was very professional and expressed great concern and compassion as they handled my case. If ever I need representation again, they will be first on my list. Thank you Brooks Law Firm, you are greatly appreciated.
