After such a devastating event, you deserve the best, so don’t settle for less. Contact our side impact collision lawyers in Alpharetta today. We offer free consultations to all callers, so it costs you nothing to find out what your rights are and how our Alpharetta car accident lawyers can protect them.
When to File a Claim for a Side Impact Collision
You can file a claim if you can prove the four elements of negligence. Your Alpharetta personal injury lawyers at Bader Law can do this by seeking evidence to show that:
- The at-fault driver had a duty of care to follow the law and avoid unnecessary risks.
- The at-fault driver breached their duty of care by speeding, ignoring traffic signs, or not yielding the right of way, whether on purpose (e.g., as with road rage incidents) or accidentally (e.g., they were texting and did not notice the traffic light change color).
- The at-fault driver caused your accident through their negligent or reckless behavior.
- You suffered measurable damages—including financial losses and bodily injuries—because of the accident that the other party caused.
By using evidence like traffic camera footage, witness testimony, and reports from the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety, our side impact collision lawyers can build a case that:
- Proves the liable party caused your side impact collision
- Establishes what kinds of damages you are entitled to
- Disproves any untrue allegations the at-fault party’s insurance company tries to level against you (e.g., that you were negligent in some way)
- Allows us to confidently negotiate a fair settlement or present a strong case in the courtroom

What Is the Statute of Limitations on Side Impact Accident Cases?
In most cases, you have a maximum of two years to start a personal injury lawsuit. However, it is better to start collecting evidence as soon as possible after the crash, and certain cases may fall under much shorter deadlines. For these reasons, you will want to start on your case without delay.

Our Alpharetta Side Impact Collision Lawyers Can Seek Fair Compensation
You were not at fault for this accident, so you deserve help covering all of the financial losses associated with it, including:
- Car towing and repair bills (or the cost of replacing your car)
- Medical expenses
- Loss of wages or earning capacity
In addition, a side impact collision can cause severe injuries, especially if the other vehicle hit the side of the car that you were sitting in. Your legal representative can fight to ensure the at-fault party pays you for your physical and mental suffering as well:
- Reduced quality of life
- Pain and suffering
- New or worsened disabilities
An Alpharetta attorney from our firm can determine which damages apply to your situation. Then, while you focus on receiving treatment and resting at home, we can pursue every dollar you need to rebuild your life.
How Much Do Car Accident Lawyers Charge in Alpharetta?
Bader Law charges a contingency fee. Instead of charging you directly, we take an agreed-upon percentage of your final payment. This means we ask for no attorneys’ fees up front and only get paid when you do, making our services much more accessible to those who want assistance.

What to Do After a Car Crash
Our Alpharetta side impact collision attorneys recommend putting yourself and your legal rights first. This could involve:
- Pulling over to the side of the road (if your car is still operational)
- Calling 911 and waiting for help to arrive
- Getting the other driver’s contact and insurance information
- Taking photos of everything at the scene, including your injuries and both vehicles
- Seeing a doctor right away (you can decide if emergency care is necessary or if you can wait to see your own provider)
- Answering the responding police officer’s questions succinctly and honestly without volunteering additional information
- Refusing to speak to the insurance companies or agree to anything they ask for without first seeking legal advice
Only after you receive medical care should you contact our firm: while it is important to start your case promptly, delaying treatment could jeopardize your health while giving the insurance company a reason to argue that your injuries are “not that bad.”
Once you hire us, we can review everything you have done so far and determine next steps. Do not worry if you did not complete every single task in the list above. We recognize that accidents are chaotic events and can still assist you if you did not respond “perfectly.”
What if the Accident Driver Left the Scene?
Leaving the scene of an accident without providing contact information and offering assistance is illegal. If the driver in your case fled the scene, our Alpharetta hit-and-run accident lawyers can try to find and identify them so you can hold them accountable.
At Bader Law, we understand how frustrating and disruptive it is to be involved in any sort of auto accident—and how much more upsetting it is to not be able to locate the person responsible. We can do everything possible to secure justice in your case.
