You Have Options
In Georgia, if you are hurt in a car accident, you have a variety of legal options at your disposal to pursue monetary damages for losses and injuries. You can:
- Directly submit a claim to the other party’s insurance company;
- Submit a claim to your insurance company; or
- File a lawsuit.
