An Augusta Failure to Obey Traffic Signals Lawyer Can Advocate for You
Our Augusta personal injury lawyers at Bader Law take our relationship with our clients seriously. We take the time to:
- Answer your questions promptly, always answering client calls within 48 hours
- Thoroughly investigate the accident so we understand what happened and can build a robust case file to prove your side of the story
- Come up with an appropriate legal strategy designed to address your case’s specific needs and help you meet your goals
Once we have enough information to move forward, we can help you decide whether to file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company and/or file a personal injury lawsuit against them.
What Is the Difference Between a Car Accident Claim and a Lawsuit?
With a claim, we contact the insurance company and request appropriate compensation. The insurer might then offer a settlement, which may or may not reflect your case’s true value. We are often able to negotiate with the insurance company to get our clients the money they need.
A lawsuit involves notifying the appropriate civil court that you intend to go to trial if necessary. The insurance company might agree to negotiate at this point, even if they refused to do so before. If they do not, our law firm can represent you in the courtroom.

Getting the Compensation You Deserve After an Augusta Crash
You have a limited time to pursue the damages you need, so it is important to act promptly. As soon as you have received enough medical treatment to stabilize your injuries, you will want to consult with an auto accident lawyer to find out which of the following damages you may qualify for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional and psychological distress (if accompanied by severe physical injuries)
- Reduced quality of life
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income or employment
- Property damage
These damages should account for all of your accident-related losses and suffering, including:
- Past damages, such as the cost of medical treatment you have already received
- Present damages, such as physical and emotional pain you are still experiencing
- Future damages, such as any income or benefits you will lose in the future if your long-term injuries prevent you from working
Insurance companies sometimes try to undervalue claims like yours so they do not have to pay as much. Protect yourself from these bad-faith tactics by allowing our car accident attorneys to tell you exactly what kinds of damages you are entitled to. This way, you will know immediately if the insurer tries to shortchange you.

What Happens When Someone Disobeys a Traffic Signal?
Depending on which signal was ignored and other factors (e.g., the speed and positioning of everyone involved), failure to obey a traffic signal could lead to:
- Head-on collisions
- Side-impact collisions
- Left-turn accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
These kinds of crashes can result in many different kinds of injuries, from bone fractures and contusions to traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.
Whether the party responsible for your accident ignored a red light, a yellow light, a walk/don’t walk sign, or any other kind of signal, they disobeyed the law, and their negligence has significantly disrupted your life. Call Bader Law today to learn more about your rights in this situation.

How Do You Prove Someone Else Disobeyed a Traffic Signal?
You do not want your case to come down to your word against the other person’s. Even if you know for a fact that you had the right of way, the liable party or their insurance company might try to claim the opposite. The only way to prove the other person was at fault is to collect evidence against them.
Bader Law collects all available evidence in every single case. Available evidence can change based on the specifics of the client’s situation, but we frequently use:
- Official reports from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office (or whichever authority responded to your crash), which often include details about who was involved in the crash and how it happened
- Video footage (such as from surveillance or traffic cameras) that shows the accident
- Statements from anyone who saw the accident happen and can confirm that the other party was the one who broke the law
- Opinions from accident reconstruction specialists, who can look at the evidence and determine the most likely sequence of events
As a former insurance company lawyer, Seth Bader understands what kinds of evidence the insurers want to see before they agree to pay appropriate damages. This allows us to more easily build a persuasive case for the money your family needs and deserves.
