Single-car accidents can be unexpectedly distressing and complex. At Zdrilich Injury Law, we understand the myriad challenges victims face following such incidents. Our dedicated team is here to provide the support and legal expertise you need to navigate this difficult time and secure the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Single-Car Accidents

A single-car accident involves only one vehicle. Despite the absence of another vehicle, these accidents can still cause substantial damage and serious injuries. Whether the incident involves swerving to avoid an animal, hitting a pothole, or encountering unexpected road conditions, the impact can be significant.

Common Causes of Single-Car Accidents

Single-car accidents can result from various factors, including:


  • Driver Error- Speeding, distracted driving, or impaired driving can lead to loss of control.
  • Road Conditions- Poorly maintained roads, potholes, or debris can cause accidents.
  • Weather Conditions- Rain, snow, or ice can make roads slippery and treacherous.
  • Mechanical Failures- Vehicle malfunctions, such as brake failure or tire blowouts, can lead to crashes.
  • Avoiding Obstacles- Swerving to avoid animals, pedestrians, or other unexpected obstacles.

These injuries can lead to long-term health issues and significant medical expenses, impacting your quality of life.

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.
