A car accident can leave someone with broken bones, a brain injury, or a spinal injury that needs months of medical care. This page explains how Ugwonali Law Group, through attorney Adanna Ugwonali, handles serious-injury claims in Georgia. Ugwonali Law Group represents people seriously hurt in crashes and families in wrongful death cases across Clayton County and statewide.<\/p>\n

What a Clayton County Car Accident Claim Covers and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

This type of claim fits people with real injuries that need medical treatment. Examples include fractures, hospital stays, care from a medical doctor, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries.<\/p>\n

When a crash causes a death, Georgia’s wrongful death statutes, beginning with O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-4-2, address who may bring the claim. Under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-4-2<\/a>, a claim for the homicide of a spouse or parent may be brought by the persons that statute identifies, and recovery is measured by “the full value of the life of the decedent, as shown by the evidence.”<\/p>\n

This page does not cover minor fender-benders without real injury. It also does not cover cases where the injured person appears to be at fault. Each claim turns on its own facts, so the first step is a conversation about what happened and what medical care followed.<\/p>\n\n

Crash Types and Injuries We Handle in Clayton County<\/h2>\n

We handle serious crashes on Clayton County roads and state routes, and across Georgia. The crashes we handle include intersection collisions, rear-end impacts, and lane-change crashes between passenger vehicles.<\/p>\n

We also handle collisions involving commercial trucks.<\/p>\n

Crash injuries can vary widely from person to person. The Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center<\/a> publishes research-based factsheets on life after spinal cord injury, including daily-living needs.<\/p>\n

Prompt medical evaluation supports your health and creates records of your injuries. Follow your doctor’s advice about tests and follow-up visits. Your medical care should follow your doctor’s judgment, not a legal deadline.<\/p>\n

What May Influence a Car Accident Claim in Georgia<\/h2>\n

Several factors may influence a car accident claim in Georgia. None of them can predict a specific outcome.<\/p>\n

Fault.<\/strong> Georgia follows a modified comparative fault approach, and O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-33<\/a> provides that damages are reduced in proportion to the injured person’s percentage of fault. Under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-33(g), the plaintiff “shall not be entitled to receive any damages if the plaintiff is 50 percent or more responsible for the injury or damages claimed.”<\/p>\n

Several at-fault parties.<\/strong> When more than one party contributed to the harm, O.C.G.A. \u00a7 51-12-33<\/a> provides that each party’s share of the damages is generally its own and is not joint liability among the persons liable.<\/p>\n

Insurance coverage.<\/strong> Under O.C.G.A. \u00a7 33-7-11<\/a>, Georgia auto insurance policies generally must include uninsured motorist coverage unless the insured rejects it in writing. The limits the insured chooses may matter, especially when the at-fault driver has no insurance.<\/p>\n

Time limits.<\/strong> For traumatic injuries, the two-year filing period generally runs from the date of injury, as provided in O.C.G.A. \u00a7 9-3-33<\/a>.<\/p>\n

  4. Claim presentation.<\/strong> We present the claim to the insurer and discuss settlement. Timing varies with each case.<\/li>\n
  5. Court, if needed.<\/strong> If a lawsuit is necessary, it is filed in court. We keep you informed at each stage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
