A car crash can change your life in an instant. Whether you were rear-ended on Atlanta Highway, hit at an intersection near Prince Avenue, or involved in a high-speed collision on Loop 10, the physical, financial, and emotional toll can be overwhelming.
At Ted Law Firm, we represent car accident victims across Athens, Winterville, and Clarke County. We handle the legal side investigating the crash, dealing with insurance adjusters, and fighting for the full compensation you deserve, so you can focus on recovery.
What Causes Car Accidents in Athens?
Even the most cautious drivers can be injured when someone else is careless behind the wheel. Traffic congestion, distracted drivers, and poorly marked intersections all contribute to serious collisions in and around Athens.
Common causes of car crashes include:
- Distracted driving (texting, GPS, inattention)
- Speeding or reckless lane changes
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Fatigued or drowsy driving
- Tailgating or failing to yield
We investigate every detail of your case to determine exactly what caused the crash, and who should be held responsible.
Common Injuries After a Car Wreck
Even low-speed crashes can cause long-term pain and health complications. We work with your doctors to document your injuries and make sure your claim includes both your immediate and future medical needs.
We represent car accident victims suffering from:
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Chronic pain or permanent disability
- Fatal injuries (wrongful death cases)
We fight to ensure your settlement accounts for every part of your recovery, not just what shows up on your hospital bill.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else caused your car crash, you may be entitled to recover damages for both economic and non-economic losses, including:
- Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
- Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and anxiety
- Property damage and vehicle repairs
- Funeral costs in fatal accident cases
At Ted Law Firm, we fight for full compensation because you deserve more than the insurance company’s first offer.
What If the Insurance Company Tries to Blame You?
In Georgia, your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault. But under the modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault.
If the insurance company is pointing fingers, we push back with crash evidence, witness statements, and expert analysis to prove the true cause of the accident.
How We Help Injury Victims
At Ted Law Firm, we take the stress off your shoulders and handle everything—from investigating the crash to negotiating your settlement.
We will:
- Preserve and analyze crash scene evidence
- Request the police report and medical documentation
- Communicate with insurance companies on your behalf
- Work with medical and financial experts to calculate your claim
- Go to trial if the insurer refuses to negotiate fairly
We prepare every case like it’s going to court because that’s how you get results.
