Atlanta Car Accident Lawyer

Where do I meet a car accident lawyer if I was hurt in Atlanta?

The Scott Pryor Law Group takes car accident cases from across Atlanta and meets clients at its two offices in Gwinnett County: the headquarters in Peachtree Corners and the office in downtown Lawrenceville. You can also start with a phone call. Phones are answered 24/7, and the consultation is free.

We routinely handle cases that arise in Atlanta, and the drive to our offices changes nothing about how we work yours. The free consultation and the fee are the same wherever the crash happened. You don't pay unless we win your case.

You do not need to drive anywhere to get started. If your car is in the shop or you are juggling doctor's appointments, call and tell us what happened. We can take the details by phone, start on the evidence and set up a meeting for when you are ready to travel.

When you want to sit down in person, choose the office that suits you: our Peachtree Corners headquarters or our Lawrenceville office. One phone number reaches both, and either one can take your case.

What causes car crashes on I-285, GA-400 and the Downtown Connector?

Congestion, distraction and aggressive merging all play a part. The Scott Pryor Law Group regularly represents people hurt in Atlanta car accidents on these roads, from chain-reaction crashes in I-285 traffic to rear-end crashes on GA-400 and unsafe lane changes around the major interchanges. Many involve several cars and several insurers.

The pattern differs by road. Congestion on I-285 raises the risk of chain-reaction crashes. Traffic on GA-400 creates more chances for distraction and sudden braking. Around the major interchanges, drivers merge aggressively and cut into lanes without room. Then the insurers move fast, gathering statements and looking for ways to pay less.

A crash with several cars brings several insurers, and witnesses who remember it differently. Each insurer has a reason to put the blame on someone else, including you. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 Every share of fault it assigns to you lowers what you recover.

We answer with evidence: the police report, photos of every vehicle, statements from the people who saw the crash, and any traffic camera or business video. When the accounts conflict, an accident reconstruction expert can show which car hit which, and in what order.

If a tractor-trailer was part of the crash, see our Atlanta truck accident page. For how fault is split among several drivers, read our article on multi-vehicle collisions in Georgia.

Who pays if an Uber or Lyft hit me in Atlanta?

It depends on what the driver's app showed when the crash happened. Uber and Lyft must carry $1 million in liability coverage for accidents while a driver is actively transporting a passenger. O.C.G.A. § 33-1-24 The Scott Pryor Law Group's Georgia rideshare page explains who pays at each stage, from the app being off to a passenger on board.
