Alpharetta Car Accident Attorney

Car accidents are the highest cause of personal injury claims in every state across the country. In Georgia, more than 132,000 people were injured in car wrecks in 2003 according to crash statistics provided by GDOT. With so many injuries occurring annually, it goes without saying that the parties responsible for causing these crashes should be held accountable for the injuries involved.

At The Kalka Law Group, we handle all types of motor vehicle accident claims, including those involving Uber & Lyft drivers, drunk driving, uninsured motorists, and aggressive driving. We encourage you to become familiar with this website to obtain more information about our areas of practice.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

One of the first things you need to do after a car accident is to call your insurance. If you say the wrong thing, this can undercut any claim that you file. Before you speak to any insurance company, be sure that you know what to do.

Driver Distraction

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), in 2011 alone more than 3,000 people were killed in distracted driving crashes and another 387,000 were injured. Of all the forms of driver distraction, the most common and deadliest form involves texting while driving.

Uber & Lyft Accidents

If you were in an accident in an Uber or Lyft that resulted in serious injuries, we can help you seek the proper compensation to cover the damage done. Additionally, we can also represent you if you were driving your own vehicle and were struck by a rideshare vehicle. These can be complicated cases best handled by a professional injury attorney who knows the laws surrounding these types of claims.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Despite the nationwide campaigns put on by MADD and law enforcement agencies, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs remains a major cause of car accidents and fatalities in the United States. If you were injured or if your loved one was killed at the hands of a drunk driver, you deserve ample compensation to cover all of your economic and non-economic losses.

Uninsured Motorist Claims

Georgia is among the states that have a problem with having too many uninsured drivers on the roads. When you are involved in a collision with an uninsured driver, you can file a claim under your own auto insurance policy's uninsured motorist coverage providing you did not reject this coverage in writing.

What is your next step if in a car crash?

If you have been involved in a car wreck, there are certain steps you must take to ensure that you are adequately compensated. The first would be to consult with an Alpharetta accident lawyer who has a detailed understanding of insurance companies' defense strategies and how to effectively fight them for compensation.

With their counsel and assistance, you could file a claim and successfully negotiate with the insurance companies or fight aggressively in court to recover the damages you deserve.

It may also be the case that you have been hit by a driver with no insurance, in which case your attorney should also be skilled in uninsured motorist claims. The Kalka Law Group could provide the assistance you need, so call now and schedule an appointment with a member of our team!
