In our previous blog post, we discussed how some accidents can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. That disorder can be difficult to deal with because you never know what is going to trigger a flare. If you were in a semitruck accident and have been diagnosed with PTSD or suffered any injuries, you might opt to seek compensation for those…
A car or truck accident can be a traumatic occurrence for anyone. During serious accidents, your body itself is put under a lot of stress. First, it goes through a high-level fight or flight response that triggers adrenaline and can cause temporary physical changes in the body. Second, you could experience an injury that damaged your body and requires long…
In our previous blog post, we discussed some traffic laws that Georgia has on the books that are aimed at keeping everyone on the roadways a little bit safer. As we mentioned, if you are in an accident with a driver who was breaking any of these laws, you might be able to use that information in your claim for…
In an effort to reduce car accidents, the state of Georgia has some relatively minor traffic laws on the books that it’s important for residents to know about. It’s also wise to dispel some myths about laws that don’t actually exist. To start with, you must take out your earbuds before you get behind the wheel — at least on…
As a pedestrian, crossing the street always comes with some level of risk. That risk is typically higher on a busy road, but when you step out into any lane of traffic, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings.

Accidents that involve semi-trucks are scary. Just last week, we discussed how serious jackknife accidents can be. If you think about those accidents and the considerations we discussed, you can see why they would be frightening. The initial shock of the accident is only one thing that you will have to deal with if you are struck by a semi-truck.…
Jackknifing is something that occurs when one motorized vehicle is pulling a trailer or other separate vehicle on the road. If the vehicle being pulled gets out of sync with the vehicle doing the pulling, then a V or an L shape can form. This usually involves the trailer coming up off the ground or swerving an inappropriate amount to…
We recently discussed some of the types of evidence that you can use in a car crash case. The thing that you have to realize about these different types of evidence is that not all evidence is appropriate in every case. The evidence that you present has to show your side of the case and support the claims that you…
Car accident injury cases often hinge on evidence that is presented in court. The type of evidence that is presented will vary from one case to another. It is important that you gather as much evidence as possible at the time of the accident. You can also gather evidence after the accident in some cases. What types of evidence can…
