Insurance Minimum Requirements
Georgia drivers must obtain and maintain liability insurance coverage for their vehicles. At a minimum, drivers must carry $25,000 per person/$50,000 per occurrence for bodily injury coverage and a minimum of $25,000 in property liability coverage. This requirement is designed to ensure accident victims can recover financial damages to pay for injuries they sustained and damage to their vehicles.
“Fault” for Auto Accidents
In Georgia, if another party was responsible for a motor vehicle accident, the victim can pursue a claim for damages. In fact, even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you can still pursue a claim as long as the other party was deemed more at fault than you were.

Statute of Limitations
Waiting too long to pursue your rights after a personal injury could mean you are barred from recovering any compensation. In Georgia, this statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident, although there are some circumstances where shorter time limits may apply. After an injury accident, it is a good idea to consult with a car and truck accident attorney as soon as you feel up to doing so, so you do not inadvertently run out of time to file a claim for damages.
Seeking Care in Braselton for Personal Injuries
Personal injury accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, leaving victims unsure of where to turn. It is important to seek medical care from qualified providers as soon as possible, to treat your injuries appropriately. The documentation of your medical treatment will also be important, should you choose to pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party.
After a truck accident or other personal injury in Braselton, you might seek treatment at Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Braselton. This 134-bed hospital is located on Friendship Road off highway 211 and provides emergency services as well as an array of specialty care services on both an inpatient and outpatient basis.

"I highly recommend him as a personal injury attorney."
My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
