FAQs About Distracted Driving Accident Claims

In Alabama and Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. Filing early can help preserve evidence.

Yes. Our attorneys will gather evidence, including phone records, witness statements, and crash reports, to prove the other driver’s negligence.
