DeKalb County Car Accidents

Vehicle collisions that take place on Georgia highways already come with lots of hazardous conditions. There are many cars and trucks traveling at high rates of speed and in very close proximity to other cars and trucks. If a vehicle involved in an accident should catch fire it greatly increases the amount of risk faced by the driver and any other occupants. If you have been injured in an accident that resulted in a vehicle fire it is imperative that you reach out to a qualified personal injury attorney just as soon as possible.

Liability can be a difficult thing to determine in an accident involving more than one vehicle. Having a personal injury attorney in your corner means making the strongest possible case for your claim. Your attorney will be able to access accident reports from the police and the insurance companies, as well as footage from traffic cameras, witness statements, and photographic evidence of the crash site. All of these things are vital to proving that you were not the driver liable for the accident. Building your claim from the ground up will help to ensure that you recover any losses or damages that you endured as the result of another drivers negligence.
