    Is This Your Situation?

    This page is for anyone hurt by a driver who was texting, talking, or otherwise distracted behind the wheel in Georgia.

    Overview

    Most distracted driving claims come down to proof: witness accounts, cell phone records, and sometimes app usage data. We move quickly to preserve that evidence before it becomes harder to obtain.

    Liability Considerations

    Georgia's hands-free driving law prohibits holding a phone while driving, and a violation can support a negligence claim. We pursue phone records and other evidence quickly, since this proof can become harder to obtain over time.

    • We know how to obtain and use cell phone records as evidence
    • Free consultation, no fee unless we win
    • Direct attorney access โ€” not a call center
    • Experience with Georgia's hands-free driving law
