A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. If a car accident resulted in a criminal charge (or traffic violation), attorneys in those areas (Criminal Law or Traffic Tickets) would be able to advise better than accident attorneys, who are more involved with...

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Unless there are details not mentioned here, there should not be a need to sue him. The vehicle's insurance should cover the loss if he was authorized to use the vehicle. Good luck

I filed a claim online against an insurance company, and provided evidence with my claim. The claim was accepted and now I’m seeking a process server to serve the register agent of this business.
My question is when I have the person served do I have to also provide them with the... Read more »

I am a safe driver there was no traffic in front or behind in that lane or would as always moved over. I'm 65 years old and this is my lively hood should I fight the ticket or not .
A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There's no point losing further time reposting under Traffic Tickets. You could reach out to traffic ticket defense attorneys in the Atlanta area if you haven't already done so. See the tab above -... Read more »

They're going to try and scare you into accepting a lower amount of money by threatening to appeal.
You need an Attorney who will represent you in the appeal. Otherwise they will appeal the case a demand a jury trial.
The 18 wheeler left the scene to avoid repercussions. The accident was ruled not at fault. Will my insurance go up as a result? The damage was around $3300 charged to my insurance with a diminished value claim as well.
A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. But ANY attorney might not have a universal answer because the way these are treated can vary by carrier. It's in your favor that you were not the at-fault driver so far as liability goes - that would be more... Read more »
If i were the victim in a hit and run accident, and made a police report at the scene and whom they later arrested
I’m glad to hear they found the hit and run driver. There should be an amended accident report from the resulting arrest with the driver’s information and their insurance company. You can file a claim against their auto insurance carrier to get compensated for your vehicle and injuries as a... Read more »
The short answer is no. Intentional torts require the wrongdoer (known as the tortfeasor) to do something on purpose. A person who is driving high does not intentionally try to get in a car crash. Accordingly, while driving under the influence is certainly reckless behavior, it is not an... Read more »
I wasn’t driving my vehicle when it was in an accident, however the police report listed the driver of the other vehicle at fault.

Someone managed to take pictures of the scene & sent them to an ex of his who in turn sent them out again through fbook & sent them to me.

I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, there is no cause of action against anyone for securing the scene. It is up to the first responders and police to investigate and preserve all evidence that they can. It gets into a really slippery slope if the bystander may have gotten there before the...

Where she hit me There was traffic so I was driving slowly to the Middle Lane she was in-patient because she said she was late for work. But the cop said it was still my... Read more »
Under GA law the person making the left turn should always yield to oncoming traffic. See if you can find a good traffic ticket attorney in your area to fight it in court. You can dispute this as officers are not always correct. Also make sure you file a claim with her insurance and tell your... Read more »

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. It could be a situation where fault is seen by a court on both sides.

I am unable to find the answers explicitly stating why you can only have a custom tag i.e. something like CSTOMTG on the plain white plate instead of on the other sponsored plates through other agencies and organizations. I've heard several people say "because it's state law" or... Read more »
Personalized plates in Georgia are known as Special license Plates or Prestige License plates. You have to submit aMV-9B form to the Georgia Department of Revenue. Your on the right track as far as who gets the money.
I gave the police my insurance info. I did not receive any tickets. The other driver contacted me and told me my insurance was expired.
