Atlanta Car Accident Lawyer

A car accident can upend your life in seconds — leaving you with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and an insurance company already working to pay you as little as possible. At Swain Injury Law, attorney Diana Swain represents injured drivers, passengers, and families across Atlanta and Georgia, and handles every case personally from the first call to the final resolution.

How we help after a crash

Insurance companies move quickly to protect their bottom line. We move just as quickly to protect you. When you hire our firm, we:

• Investigate the crash and preserve critical evidence before it disappears
• Identify every source of insurance coverage and liability
• Handle all communication with the insurance adjusters, so you don’t have to
• Work with your doctors to fully document your injuries
• Build and present a demand for the full value of your claim — and try your case if the insurer won’t be fair

What to do after a car accident in Georgia

The steps you take early can make or break your claim. If you are able:

1. Call 911 and report the crash; get a copy of the police report.
2. Seek medical care right away, even if you feel “okay” — some injuries surface days later.
3. Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries.
4. Get the other driver’s insurance and contact information.
5. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with a lawyer.

Compensation you may be owed

Georgia law allows injured victims to recover for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and more. In cases involving especially reckless conduct, additional damages may apply.

Georgia deadlines matter

Georgia generally gives car accident victims two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim, and evidence fades quickly — so it’s wise to talk to a lawyer early.
