Identifying Laws to Support Your Personal Injury Claim
Several laws may come into play when building your claim. For example, the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) §9-3-33 dictates a statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits. You typically have two years from the date of your accident to litigate your case.
Another Georgia law we may rely on is OCGA §40-6-21, which outlines the rules drivers must follow regarding traffic signals. We can cite this law when arguing that the other driver breached their duty of care.
Representing You in Settlement Negotiations and in Court
Negotiating with an insurance company and making a case in court are two of the biggest aspects of your personal injury case. Yet, this is our livelihood, and we will gladly represent you in either of these situations, as your case requires.
We will work to present a fair request for damages to the negligent driver’s insurance company and handle negotiations on your behalf. If we cannot get the insurer to extend a reasonable settlement offer, we will present your case in court to pursue damages.

When Drivers Fail to Obey Traffic Signals
Traffic control signals direct the flow of traffic. As such, there are various ways that a driver may disobey a traffic light and cause a collision.
Some collisions are caused when drivers:
- Run red lights. Drivers who are distracted or speeding may drive straight through a red traffic signal.
- Turn right on a red light. Certain intersections do not allow drivers to turn right while the light is red.
- Turn left or make U-turns at red arrows. Some intersections have a separate traffic light for drivers turning left. In this case, even when the light to go straight is green, the left-turn arrow may be red, indicating that drivers cannot make a left turn.
If the driver who caused your collision performed any of the maneuvers above, you may have a case for damages. Evidence of these actions may come from eyewitnesses, traffic cameras, and reports from responding law enforcement officers. Your attorney can help you compile these items and use them to build your case against the negligent driver.
