Why Georgia Rain Is Dangerous
Sudden, heavy downpours are common across Georgia, and the first rain after a dry spell lifts oil to the surface, making roads especially slick.
Hydroplaning Explained
When water builds between tires and pavement, a vehicle can lose contact with the road and the driver loses control. Speed is the biggest factor.
Is the Other Driver Still Liable?
Yes — drivers must adjust to conditions. Going too fast for the rain can be negligence even if no law was 'broken.' Georgia's comparative-negligence rule then divides fault.
Protecting Your Claim
Photos of the weather and road conditions, plus the police report, help establish how a wet-weather crash happened.
