Car Accidents claims in Savannah

Abercorn Street south of Derenne is where most Savannah driving actually happens. Big-box entrances, left-turn bays, and closely spaced signals make it a stop-and-go corridor, and the Truman Parkway running parallel gives everybody a faster option they merge onto and off of without much warning. Fault gets contested on both roads. Georgia is an at-fault state, and the 50% bar is where these claims tend to die. An insurer pushing half the blame onto you does not reduce what it owes. It erases it. Get the crash report number at the scene, and expect Chatham County State and Superior Courts to handle any suit.
How fault gets decided can end a car accident case in Savannah before it starts. Georgia's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar. You have 2 years to file. Rear-end, intersection, and highway collisions — the most common case we help with.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Savannah?

It depends on where you were. Inside the city limits the Savannah Police Department normally works the wreck; outside them it's usually the Chatham County Police Department, and on I-95 or I-16 the Georgia State Patrol. Georgia crash reports all use the same statewide form, and the agency that filed yours releases the copy. Get the case number at the scene if you can.

Which court would hear an injury case from a Savannah crash?

The Chatham County State and Superior Courts. Georgia state court generally handles ordinary car and truck injury suits, and superior court takes the heavier ones. If the at-fault driver or a motor carrier is based in another county, venue can move. An attorney licensed in Georgia will tell you where your suit actually belongs.

I was hit on foot near one of the downtown squares. Does the same law apply?

Yes. Georgia's at-fault rule covers people on foot the same way it covers drivers, and the driver's insurer pays if the driver was to blame. The 50% bar applies to you too, so expect questions about where you crossed and what the signal said. Downtown's one-way grid and mid-block crossings give an adjuster a lot to work with. Say what happened, and nothing you're guessing at.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. 2 years personal injury; 2 years wrongful death; property damage 4 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
