How we match your Roswell car accident case

When you submit a Roswell car accident matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A car accident matter needs someone who handles car accident work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Georgia law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Georgia who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Crashes inside Roswell are generally handled in the Fulton County courts in Atlanta, with the specific court depending on the size and nature of the claim. Where the at-fault driver lives can also affect venue. An attorney will confirm the right court once the crash report and driver information are in hand.

Not automatically. Georgia allocates fault among the people involved, and being assigned some share generally reduces rather than erases recovery, though there are limits. Insurers routinely overstate your share early on to justify a low offer, so it is worth having an attorney evaluate the police report and any available video.

Georgia sets filing deadlines that vary depending on the claim and the parties, and claims involving a city or county entity can carry much earlier notice requirements. Missing either one can end the case. Have a Georgia attorney confirm the exact deadlines that apply to your crash as soon as you can.

Two years from the date of the crash for personal injury under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 and 4 years for property damage. Claims against state or local entities require ante-litem notice — 6 months for cities (O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5), 12 months for counties, and 12 months for the state (O.C.G.A. § 50-21-26).

You pursue the at-fault driver and their liability insurer directly. Georgia dropped its no-fault PIP system in 1991. If you contributed to the crash, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you’re 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33.
