Vehicle Accidents – Boyd Law Firm

Vehicle Accident Lawyer Serving Brunswick and Southeast Georgia

When another driver’s negligence puts you in the hospital, you shouldn’t have to fight an insurance company alone. Boyd Law Firm represents people injured in vehicle accidents across Brunswick, Glynn County, and the surrounding Southeast Georgia region and we don’t get paid unless you do.

Our results speak plainly Roy J Boyd Jr earned a spot on TopVerdict’s Georgia Top 20 Jury Verdicts and the United States Top 100 Motor Vehicle Accident Verdicts for 2024. That recognition reflects one priority pursuing the full value of your case not just a fast settlement.

You Have Two Years — Don’t Wait

Georgia law gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Miss that deadline and you lose the right to recover no matter how serious your injuries.

Insurance companies know this clock exists and they use delay tactics to run it down. The sooner you have an attorney reviewing your case, the harder it is for an insurer to lowball or stall you out.

If a government vehicle was involved a county truck a transit bus or a state employee’s car the deadline to file a claim can be as short as 12 months. Contact us as soon as possible if a government entity may be responsible.

Types of Vehicle Accidents We Handle

Every collision has its own set of facts, liable parties, and insurance complications. Boyd Law Firm handles the full range.

Car Accidents

Rear end crashes, T bone intersections, head on collisions, and multi vehicle pileups we investigate how it happened who was at fault and what your injuries are actually worth.

Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks operate under federal FMCSA regulations separate from standard traffic law. When a trucking company or driver violates those rules the liability and the damages can be significantly larger.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riders face unique dangers and unique bias. Insurance adjusters often try to pin fault on motorcyclists regardless of the facts. We push back with evidence.

Bicycle Accidents

Cyclists struck by vehicles have the same right to full compensation as any other injured person. We treat bicycle accident cases with the same seriousness as any other collision.

What Boyd Law Firm Does After an Accident

You focus on recovering. We handle the rest.

Step 1 — Free Case Review Tell us what happened. We review the facts,
explain your rights, and let you know what your case may be worth — at no
charge and with no obligation.

Step 2 — Investigation and Evidence Preservation We collect police reports, witness statements, accident scene photos, medical records, and — when
applicable — black box data from commercial vehicles. Evidence disappears
quickly; early action protects it.

Step 3 Build the Full Damages Picture A fair settlement covers more than your current medical bills. We document lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, and any permanent impact on your quality of life. Insurers start low we build the case for full value.

Step 4 Negotiate or Litigate Most cases settle. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial because that preparation is what forces insurers to make fair offers. If a reasonable settlement isn’t on the table we take it to court.

What Damages Can You Recover?

Georgia law allows injury victims to pursue compensation for:

Medical expenses

emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, ongoing care

Future medical costs

anticipated treatment for permanent or longterm injuries

Lost income

wages missed while you were unable to work

Loss of earning capacity

if your injuries affect your ability to earn in the future

Pain and suffering

physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident

Property damage

your vehicle and any personal property destroyed in the collision

Georgia does not cap damages for personal injury cases — you are entitled to pursue full compensation for your actual losses.

Georgia’s Comparative Negligence Rule — What It Means If You Were Partly at Fault

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you share some responsibility for the accident, you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.

Example If your damages total $100,000 and you’re found 20% at fault you recover $80,000.

Insurance adjusters routinely try to inflate your percentage of fault to reduce what they owe. Having an attorney who knows how to counter those arguments protects your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicle Accidents in Georgia

How long do I have to file a vehicle accident claim in Georgia?

You generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. For property damage alone, the deadline is four years. If a government vehicle was involved, you may have as little as 12 months. Don’t assume you have time to spare contact an attorney early.

What should I do immediately after a vehicle accident?

Call 911 so there is an official police report. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine some injuries like whiplash or traumatic brain injury show up hours or days later. Document the scene with photos if you are able to do so safely. Get the other driver’s insurance information. Avoid giving a recorded statement to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

Do I have to go to court?

Most vehicle accident cases settle out of court through negotiation. However, we prepare every case for trial that preparation is often what gets insurers to make a fair offer. If a reasonable settlement isn’t offered we will take your case to court.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough coverage?

Georgia law allows you to carry uninsured or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage on your own policy (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11). If the at fault driver’s limits don’t cover your losses your UIM coverage can fill the gap. We help you navigate both the at fault driver’s insurer and your own policy.

What does “no fee unless we win” actually mean?

Boyd Law Firm handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney’s fees unless we recover money for you. Our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict we only get paid when you do.

How much is my vehicle accident case worth?

It depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your work and daily life, and the available insurance coverage. We assess the full picture current and future medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering before advising you on value. We do not recommend accepting any settlement before that assessment is complete.
