A car crash can disrupt your life in a matter of seconds. Whether you were hit on Interstate 185, sideswiped on Veterans Parkway, or rear-ended near Columbus State University, the physical injuries and financial stress can be overwhelming.
At Ted Law Firm, we help car accident victims across Columbus, Muscogee County, and the surrounding region hold negligent drivers and insurance companies accountable. We handle everything from start to finish so you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Columbus
With its mix of high-speed highways, city intersections, and growing traffic, Columbus sees its share of serious collisions. Most crashes are caused by preventable driver behavior.
We help clients injured in accidents caused by:
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, adjusting GPS)
- Speeding or aggressive lane changes
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Tailgating or failure to yield
- Reckless driving in school or construction zones
We investigate your crash and gather the evidence needed to prove fault and build your case.
Injuries We Commonly See in Car Accident Cases
Even a so-called “minor” accident can lead to serious injuries that affect your ability to work, move, and live comfortably.
We represent car accident victims with:
- Whiplash and soft tissue damage
- Broken bones and joint injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and back trauma
- Internal organ damage or bleeding
- Emotional trauma and post-accident anxiety
- Fatal injuries requiring a wrongful death claim
We work with your doctors to document the full impact of your injuries today and in the future.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If another driver was at fault, Georgia law allows you to seek compensation for your losses. That includes both economic and non-economic damages.
You may be entitled to:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation
- Lost income and future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or PTSD
- Property damage
- Funeral and burial costs (in fatal crash cases)
We calculate your full damages, not just what the insurance company wants to pay.
What If They Try to Blame You?
Georgia uses a modified comparative fault rule. That means you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
We push back against blame-shifting with:
- Police reports and crash reconstruction
- Witness statements
- Traffic camera or surveillance footage
- Expert testimony (when needed)

Georgia’s Time Limit: Don’t Wait to File
Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. But the sooner we start, the better your case will be before evidence disappears or witness memories fade.
