If you are looking for a car accident lawyer in Savannah, your car likely crashed on one of the city's busiest corridors: I-16, I-95, or local routes like Truman Parkway and DeRenne Avenue. Chatham County records thousands of crashes every year, many related to the heavy truck traffic entering and exiting the Port of Savannah.
Many port truckers are independent contractors registered under out-of-state carriers. Your case may involve multiple insurance policies at once: the driver's, the trucking company's, and in some cases, the port's own policy. Correctly identifying each one is key to ensuring you don't leave money on the table.
Seek medical attention, call the police for an official report, take photos of the scene and your car, and avoid speaking with the insurance company before consulting with an attorney. You generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Georgia.
If you were injured on the job in Savannah—whether in construction, at the port, or in the region's growing manufacturing industry—you have the right to workers' compensation, regardless of your immigration status. A Savannah workers' compensation attorney helps ensure your claim isn't lost due to missed deadlines.
Georgia law requires you to report your injury to your employer in writing within the first 30 days. If you wait longer, you may lose your right to benefits.
You generally have one year from the date of the accident to file your formal claim with the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation.
Georgia uses a "panel of physicians" system; your employer must provide you with a list of doctors authorized to treat you under workers' compensation. If they fail to do so, this may work in your favor regarding your claim.
