Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Atlanta

What you do right after a crash can shape the outcome of your claim. Follow these steps to protect your health and your legal rights:

  1. Get medical care — immediately.
    Even if you feel okay, injuries like whiplash or brain trauma may not show symptoms right away.

  2. Document the scene.
    Take photos of vehicle damage, license plates, road signs, skid marks, and anything else that shows what happened.

  3. Get contact info.
    Exchange insurance and ID details with the other driver(s), and get names and phone numbers of any witnesses.

  4. Call the police.
    An official report helps prove what happened — especially if liability is contested.

  5. Avoid admitting fault.
    Even a polite “I’m sorry” can be used against you by insurers.

  6. Contact our office as soon as possible.
    The sooner we’re involved, the more evidence we can preserve — and the stronger your case will be.

Atlanta’s Most Dangerous Roads & Intersections

As seasoned Atlanta car accident lawyers, we’ve handled crashes all over the metro area — but some intersections come up again and again. Based on recent traffic safety data, these are among the most dangerous spots for drivers:

  • Spaghetti Junction (I-85 & I-285)

  • Memorial Drive & N. Hairston Road

  • Ponce de Leon & Moreland Avenue

  • Cobb Parkway & Akers Mill

  • Freedom Parkway & Moreland

  • Lenox Road & Peachtree Street

  • Jimmy Carter Blvd & Peachtree Industrial

  • Northside Drive & I-75

  • Camp Creek Parkway & I-285

If you were hurt in one of these high-risk zones, we know the common causes — and how to build a strong case around them.

What Types of Car Accident Cases Do We Handle?

We handle the full spectrum of motor vehicle accidents across the greater Atlanta area. Whether you were hit in traffic on I-285 or injured while crossing the street in Midtown, our legal team has the experience to help.

Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end crashes are common, but they’re not always simple. We’ve seen cases involving defective brakes, unsafe following distance, and even fraudulent “staged” accidents.

Common injuries: neck trauma, spinal disc injuries, concussion, chronic pain.

Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial truck crashes are among the most severe and legally complex. Our attorneys are well-versed in FMCSA regulations, black box data, and multi-party liability.

We work with: truck safety experts, crash reconstructionists, and compliance professionals.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Injuries

Cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable — even in crosswalks or bike lanes. We fight for fair compensation for these high-impact injuries, even in cases where the driver blames the victim.

Reminder: Georgia law allows partial compensation even if you’re found partially at fault.

How Our Firm Builds Your Case — And Wins

From the minute you call, we get to work protecting your rights:

  • Scene investigation — We collect photos, surveillance footage, and eyewitness statements.

  • Insurance negotiations — We handle all adjuster communication to prevent lowball offers or blame-shifting tactics.

We also prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. That’s how we consistently achieve maximum settlements — because the insurance companies know we’re ready to go to court if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire Ken Nugent for a car accident case?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we win your case.

What kind of evidence should I collect after a crash?
Photos, witness contact info, police reports, and medical records. If you’re not able to collect these, we’ll help gather everything needed.

How long do car accident cases usually take?
It depends. Straightforward cases may settle in months. Complex cases involving serious injuries can take longer — but we keep you informed every step of the way.

Can I recover compensation for lost work and medical bills?
Yes. Georgia law allows for both economic damages (like bills and wages) and non-economic damages (like pain and suffering).

Is my first consultation really free?
Yes — always. We’ll walk you through your rights, your case, and your next steps.

Real Results for Real Clients

One of our recent cases involved a mother hit by a distracted driver who ran a red light downtown. The initial insurance offer wouldn’t have covered even a year of care — and her injuries were lifelong. We brought in medical experts, challenged the insurer’s evaluation, and fought through litigation to recover a multi-million dollar settlement that secured her family’s future.

Stories like this are why we do what we do.
