Auto Accident Attorneys

A car wreck can upend your health, your income, and your family in an instant. Insurance carriers move fast to protect their bottom line, and so should you. Hamilton & Padgett Law investigates the crash, documents your injuries, and builds the leverage needed to demand full and fair compensation.

Georgia is an at-fault state, which means the driver who caused the crash, and their insurer, is responsible for the harm they cause. But proving fault and the true value of your injuries takes more than a police report. We gather the evidence early: scene photos, vehicle data, medical records, and witness statements that carriers can’t explain away.

We handle rear-end collisions, intersection and left-turn wrecks, highway pile-ups, hit-and-run claims, and crashes caused by distracted, impaired, or uninsured drivers. Throughout, you work directly with your attorney, never a gatekeeper, and you pay nothing unless we win.

Why choose Hamilton & Padgett?

Our attorneys bring decades of combined experience and, in several cases, years spent on the insurance-defense side. We know how carriers evaluate claims and where they cut corners, and we use that to your advantage. You work directly with your attorney, and you pay nothing unless we win.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do after a car accident?

Call 911, get medical attention even if you feel “fine,” photograph the scene and vehicles, collect the other driver’s information, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other insurer before speaking with an attorney.

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

Georgia’s statute of limitations for most car accident injury claims is two years from the date of the crash. Some circumstances shorten or extend that window, so it is best to speak with us promptly.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

You may be able to recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We identify every available policy so no source of recovery is left on the table.
