At Zdrilich Injury Law, our skilled team comprehends the complexities of Low-Impact Collisions. We are here to help you navigate the legal challenges, ensuring you receive the compensation necessary to move forward with your life.

What Constitutes a Low-Impact Collision?

A low-Impact collision happens when two vehicles collide at minimal speeds. Despite the low velocity, these accidents can still cause significant damage and injuries, akin to more severe accidents.

Typical Causes of Low-Impact Collisions

Low-Impact Collisions often stem from human error. They typically occur in stop-and-go traffic, parking lots, or when a driver fails to notice a slowing vehicle ahead. Other factors include distracted driving, misjudgment of stopping distances, and adverse weather conditions.

Low-Impact Collision Injuries in Georgia


The Georgia Department of Public Health reports that Low-Impact Collisions represent a significant portion of traffic incidents. Injuries from these accidents can range from minor to moderate, including whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and minor fractures.


While less likely to be fatal, Low-Impact Collisions can still lead to long-term health problems and substantial medical expenses. The angle and force of the collision, even at low speeds, can cause considerable harm to vehicle occupants.


Low-Impact Collision Facts


Low-Impact Collisions are common in both urban and suburban settings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that these accidents account for a substantial percentage of traffic collisions, often leading to property damage and personal injuries.


Determining Liability and Seeking Legal Help


Drivers are required to adhere to traffic laws and remain vigilant. When a driver fails in this duty and causes a low-speed collision, they can be held liable for the damages. Common contributors to these accidents include distracted driving, fatigue, and impaired reflexes.


In some cases, factors like defective vehicle parts or poorly maintained roads can complicate the legal process. Filing claims against government entities or manufacturers can be daunting. This is where an experienced injury attorney becomes invaluable. They work tirelessly to establish causation, determine liability, and present a compelling case on your behalf.

QUESTIONS AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are car crash lawyers expensive?

    Personal injury lawyers who represent people injured in car accidents usually work on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid a percentage of the verdict they win or the settlement they negotiate on your behalf. You won’t owe them anything until your case is over and you won’t need to pay them out of pocket. 

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

    Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims. You’ll need to file your car crash lawsuit within two years of your accident. However, it’s nearly always in your best interest to start your case as soon as possible after your accident. Evidence can get lost and memories can get foggy if you let two years pass without taking action. The sooner you speak with an auto accident lawyer the better. 

  • Will I work with Joseph Zdrilich or a staff member?

    Every personal injury client is represented by Joseph Zdrilich. You won’t have your case passed off to an associate attorney or a paralegal. Providing personal attention on each case is important to Zdrilich Injury Law. We are careful to limit our case load to ensure no client ever gets short-changed on the service they receive. 

  • Does every person involved in a car crash need an auto accident lawyer?

    No. If you weren’t injured in an auto accident you likely don’t require the assistance of an attorney. If your injuries are very minor and the insurance company settles your claim for a fair amount you might not need an attorney. 


    However, many people end up settling for a small amount right after their accident and discover later that their claim payment doesn’t come close to covering all their medical costs, property damage and lost wages. 


    It costs you nothing to schedule a free consultation and speak with a Duluth personal injury lawyer. Founding attorney Joseph Zdrilich would be happy to discuss your case and give you an honest assessment of whether or not our Duluth law firm can help you. 

  • Is uninsured motorist coverage worth the higher premiums?

    Yes. Georgia is frequently ranked near the top of the list of states with the highest rate of uninsured drivers. If there are ten cars around you on the road, chances are good at least one of them – and maybe more – are uninsured. If you get into an accident with an uninsured driver, it might not matter who was responsible. If the other driver doesn’t have insurance or the assets to pay for your damages, you might simply be forced to cover most or all of your losses out of pocket. 


    Uninsured and Underinsured motorist coverage can help protect you and your family from the potentially devastating consequences of being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver.
