The High Stakes of Car Accidents
Car accidents are not just disruptive; they can also have life-altering consequences. According to Georgia’s Department of Transportation, the state reports thousands of crashes each year, causing significant injuries and economic impacts for victims and their families.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Georgia:
- Distracted Driving: Texting, talking on the phone, or using in-car technology.
- Drunk Driving: Impaired drivers pose a major threat, causing serious and fatal accidents.
- Reckless Driving: Including speeding, aggressive tailgating, and weaving through traffic.
- Poor Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and ice often contribute to crashes.
- Vehicle Defects or Malfunctions: Faulty brakes, tires, or other mechanical issues.
Regardless of the cause, Kemp Law will thoroughly investigate your accident to determine who is at fault and hold them accountable for the harm they caused.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Georgia
Taking the right steps immediately after a car accident can help protect your health, your rights, and your ability to secure compensation later. Here’s what you should do following a collision in Georgia:
- Prioritize Safety: Move to a safe location if possible and turn on your hazard lights.
- Call 911: Report the accident and request medical assistance if needed. Police will create an accident report, which is crucial for filing a claim.
- Gather Information: Exchange contact and insurance details with the other driver(s) and collect information from witnesses.
- Document the Scene: Photograph the damage to all vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
- Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, get checked by a doctor. Injuries such as whiplash or internal trauma may not manifest immediately.

Overcoming Challenges in Car Accident Cases
Car accident cases come with challenges that require a skilled attorney to address. Kemp Law has the experience and resources to overcome obstacles and build a compelling claim.
Common Challenges Include:
- Proving Fault: While rear-end collisions may seem straightforward, even these cases require evidence to determine liability. Kemp Law uses accident reports, witness testimony, and expert analysis to establish responsibility.
- Dealing with Insurance Companies: Adjusters often aim to minimize payouts. We negotiate aggressively to prevent low settlements.
- Resolving Disputed Claims: If liability is shared, Georgia’s comparative negligence rules can affect your compensation. We help ensure your fault contribution is minimized.
- Filing Deadlines: Georgia’s statute of limitations requires you to file a lawsuit within two years of the accident. Kemp Law ensures all paperwork is completed and submitted on time.
No matter how complex your case, you can trust Kemp Law to prioritize your best interests.

FAQs
you deserve answers
-
What Should I Say To The Insurance Company?
The at-fault party’s insurance company could ask you to give them a recorded statement. You do not have to give them a recorded statement. However, if your own insurance company asks you for a recorded statement please seek advice from your attorney so that they can assist you in giving that statement. But yes you do have to comply and you do have to give your insurance company a recorded statement.
-
Will I Have To Go To Court?
Actually, most cases, or a large percentage of the cases are resolved pre-suit, which means the cases never go to court. We work with the insurance companies before filing suit to try to find a fair resolution for the client, which save money on expenses, court costs and attorney’s fees.
-
How Do I Know Who Was At-Fault?
Fault is determined by the evidence collected during the investigation. We look to many things to determine fault in the case: we look to the police report, we look to witness statements, we look to the property damage to the vehicles, skid marks, layout of the cars, etc. Sometimes we even have to refer to accident re-constructionists to do a professional examination of the all the evidence to do a recommendation for us, but that does not happen in very many cases.
-
Will I Recover Monetary Damages?
It depends on who was at fault for the accident. If you were at fault, your insurance company will pay for the damage to the vehicle. If you were not at fault, the at-fault driver’s or owner’s insurance policy will pay for the damage, and if they do not have enough coverage to cover the damage to your vehicle, your collision coverage (if purchased) would pay for the damage to your vehicle.
-
What Documents Will I Need?
We like you to bring the driver’s exchange of information that the police officer gives you at the scene. We also like you bring any photographs of damage at the scene. Also bring your health insurance cards and your auto insurance cards or declarations page, so we can review the coverage available to you.
