Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible when a company vehicle causes an accident?
+The driver and the company that employs them can both be responsible, especially if the driver was working at the time of the crash or the company was negligent in training or maintenance.
What if I was hit by a delivery driver rushing to finish their route?
+That can support a negligence claim against both the driver and the company, especially if the company's policies pressured drivers to speed or skip breaks.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
+Generally 2 years from the date of the accident under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, though claims involving government vehicles can have shorter notice requirements.
