Why Savannah Sees So Many Crashes
Savannah drivers contend with heavy tourism and port traffic. Corridors like I-95, I-16, and the historic district's squares carry heavy daily traffic, and where volume and speed meet, serious collisions follow. Local conditions shape how and where wrecks happen in Chatham County.
First Steps After a Crash
Call 911, get medical help, and document the scene with photos and witness information. Avoid admitting fault — under Georgia's 50% comparative-negligence rule, even an offhand apology can be used to reduce your recovery.
Georgia Deadlines That Apply
You generally have two years from the date of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) to file. If a government vehicle or road defect was involved, an ante litem notice may be due in as little as six months. Don't wait to learn how much time you have.
How Your Claim Is Valued
Compensation reflects your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, the clarity of fault, and the available insurance. Thorough documentation is what stops insurers from undervaluing your claim.
