Auto Accidents in Georgia

About 68,300 people are injured in the 189,500 automobile accidents that occur annually in the Atlanta Metro area each year. Almost 550 are killed.

The Atlanta Regional Commission estimates the cost of medical bills, lost productivity and congestion delay from those accidents at $4.7 billion.

With numbers that large, you can be sure that insurance companies know how to respond to those accidents. They have adjusters, investigators and attorneys who go out every day with a goal of minimizing how much they have to pay.

That means they have a tremendous advantage over you when you become the victim of someone else’s negligent driving. A life-changing event for you or a loved one is routine for them. They can view the accident and your injuries dispassionately, with little thought about your physical and emotional pain, or the anxiety and frustration of not knowing how you’ll pay your medical bills or make ends meet when you can’t work.

At the Dover Law Firm, we understand the suffering and worry that go with automobile injuries. We are passionate about doing everything we can to hold those responsible for them accountable. We recognize that you probably know little about the process of making that happen. That’s why we explain what we’re doing every step of the way. We tell you, for example, that you may be able to get partial compensation from your own insurance company while we pursue your claim against the person who injured you.

As experienced personal injury attorneys, we know how to obtain the medical and employment information that is essential to win full compensation for your injuries. And we know how to present it to the insurance company and, if necessary, to a jury for maximum effect.

We want to get you started on the road to full recovery. Call us so that we can make that happen.
