Ask James Murphy a Question

What determines who is responsible for Georgia traffic accidents?

A: Traffic laws generally determine who is responsible for Georgia traffic accidents. The driver who was careless is the negligent diver and therefore should be held responsible. Perhaps the driver ran a red light, failed to stop at a stop sign, or made an illegal turn and collided with another vehicle.

If the police officers who respond to Georgia traffic accidents issue a ticket to anyone, that person will likely be held responsible. Ignorance of traffic laws is no excuse. Every state including Georgia has traffic rules that drivers must be aware of before they get behind the wheel. Consequently, violating these rules, whether by speeding or failing to use a turn signal, is negligence.

If you have a valid driver's license, you should be aware of all traffic laws. If you don't have a driver's license and you were involved in an accident in Georgia, you will be held responsible because you should not have been driving.

In the event that you were involved in an accident in which no one was cited, you should acquire the assistance of Carrollton attorneys. Your attorneys will study the accident scene and police reports to determine who should be held accountable.

If it so happens the other party was negligent or had more liability than you, your Carrollton attorneys will help you prepare a personal injury claim to seek compensation for your damages. Depending on your situation, you might be entitled to current and future medical expenses, lost wages and/or earning capacity, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.
