What Are the Rights of a Driver Hit in a Marietta Intersection in Georgia?

If you were involved in a car crash in Marietta, you have the right to pursue compensation for your medical expenses and pain, even if your injuries seem minor at first. In Georgia, the driver who is found to be at fault for the accident is responsible for the resulting damages.

Georgia operates under a "modified comparative negligence" system. This means that as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the crash, you can recover money from the other driver’s insurance.

However, if you are found to be partially at fault, for instance, if you were slightly over the speed limit when another driver turned in front of you, your total settlement will be reduced by your percentage of blame.

It is also important to note that injuries may feel manageable initially but worsen significantly in the days following the impact. Under Georgia law, you are entitled to compensation for all related medical treatments, including diagnostic imaging and physical therapy.

To protect your claim, you should avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before your injuries are fully assessed. Because this intersection is a major thoroughfare in Marietta, there may also be traffic camera footage or nearby business surveillance that can provide an objective look at exactly what happened at 11:50 p.m.

Intersection accidents at night require careful evidence collection to ensure the truth isn't lost in a "he-said, she-said" situation. Contacting a lawyer familiar with local laws can ensure that the police report from the incident is accurate and that all available video evidence is preserved.
