Atlanta Car Accident Lawyer

We Take Care of Everything for Our Atlanta Clients

When you are occupied with doctor’s appointments, making arrangements at work, dealing with serious pain, and trying to take care of your family, you probably do not have the time—or the inclination—to deal with the legal process, no matter how justified that action is.

The Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown understands your situation and wants to help. Our car accident attorneys in Atlanta would be only too glad to:

• Collect evidence by speaking with witnesses, visiting the accident scene, and requesting documentation (e.g., the police report)
• Identify the liable party and ask their insurer to pay you fair compensation for the damage their client has done
• Negotiate with the insurer until they agree to the amount you have asked for or represent you at trial after taking the liable party to court
• Work with you to come up with the right legal strategy to handle your case
• Communicate with the liable party, their lawyer, and their insurance company as often as necessary and relay their responses back to you(opens in a new tab)
• Provide as much advice and information as you need to make the right decisions for you and your family

Financial Compensation for Atlanta Car Accidents

All too often, a traffic crash leads to major expenses and irreparable losses. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) estimated that there were over 34,000 accident crashes in Atlanta in 2022. These crashes resulted in thousands of personal injuries and 88 deaths.

Such losses were not your fault, and you should not have to bear the financial burden they cause yourself. Our legal team can seek several types of damages for you, which you can then use to support yourself and your dependents as you recover.

Atlanta Personal Injury Compensation

You have suffered unnecessary financial, physical, and emotional pain. For that reason, our car accident attorney in Atlanta, GA, can seek financial compensation for:

• The cost of current medical care and future medical expenses
• Physical pain and emotional distress
• Property damage, especially the lost value or use of your vehicle
• Loss of enjoyment or quality of life
• Loss of wages, earning capacity, employment, or employment opportunities
• Physical or intellectual disabilities, whether temporary or permanent
• Miscellaneous expenses, such as hiring outside help with tasks that you would normally complete alone
• Disfiguring scar tissue, especially if it affects your range of motion and/or is in a highly visible place

Atlanta Wrongful Death Compensation

If you were unfortunate enough to lose a loved one in a motor vehicle crash, please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. A wrongful death attorney from our firm can pursue the damages your loved one could have received had they lived long enough (e.g., medical care, pain and suffering), as well as:

• Loss of financial support if you were reliant on the deceased’s income
• End-of-life expenses for ensuring that your loved one is laid to rest with respect
• Loss of society and companionship, including the deceased’s physical presence, affection, and guidance

Proving Negligence for an Atlanta Vehicle Accident Lawsuit

There are many types of personal injury vehicle accident lawsuits that result from negligent driving. The injured party, known as the plaintiff, is required to prove that:

• The defendant was negligent despite having a legal responsibility to act responsibly and cautiously
• The defendant’s negligence caused the accident
• The accident caused the plaintiff’s injuries
• The plaintiff’s injuries are worth the amount of compensation they are seeking

Multiple Parties May Be Liable in Your Atlanta Car Accident

It is not just the driver of the other vehicle that can be found negligent. Depending on the specifics of your accident, there could be multiple liable parties. For example, if the driver was operating the vehicle for their employer at the time of the accident, the employer may be found liable for the injuries caused by their driver.

Our car accident lawyer in Atlanta, GA, can find and confront all liable parties on your behalf.

Our Crash Lawyer Takes on All Kinds of Atlanta Cases

Some of the types of vehicle accident lawsuits that the Georgia car accident attorney at the Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown handles include:

• Distracted driver accidents: It is every driver’s responsibility to keep their eyes on the road, not on their cell phone, the scenery, or something inside their vehicle. We can help you get justice after such a preventable crash.
• Drunk driving accidents: Just like with distracted driving, there is no excuse for getting behind the wheel while intoxicated on any substance. Let our law firm make Atlanta safer by holding drunk drivers responsible for their actions.
• Hit and run accidents: Georgia law, found at O.C.G.A. § 40-6-270, clearly states that leaving the scene of a crash you caused without trying to assist is illegal. Hit and run cases can be very complex, but we are not afraid to help clients with complicated cases.
• Speeding accidents: Speeding does not just mean going over the posted limit. In bad weather, when visibility is poor, every driver needs to slow down enough so they do not hit anyone or lose control. If they hurt you by failing to do this, we can file a claim or lawsuit on your behalf.
• Uber and Lyft Accidents: While rideshare services are a great convenience, our Atlanta car wreck attorney knows all too well that they can also cause serious crashes—and we want to help you file your case against the rideshare driver or service involved.

We Can Only Assist With Your Atlanta Case for a Limited Time

In Georgia, car accident cases are subject to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. This law states that personal injury victims have two years—and no more than that—from the date of injury to begin a legal action for compensation. Families of a wrongful death generally have two years from the date of death.

We encourage you to get in touch with our auto accident attorney in Atlanta as soon as you can, even if you suspect the deadline has already passed. The Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown will do everything possible to help you.
