Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents can change your life in an instant. Overbird Law fights to ensure you receive the full compensation you need to recover.
Georgia Auto Accident Attorneys
Georgia's highways and intersections see thousands of accidents every year. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motor vehicle collision, you're likely facing medical bills, vehicle repairs, lost income, and pain that disrupts every part of your life.
Insurance companies will try to settle your claim quickly and for as little as possible. They'll pressure you, record your statements, and use anything you say against you. At Overbird Law, we level the playing field by handling all communications with the insurance company while building the strongest possible case for full compensation.
Attorney Jonathan Overman investigates every accident thoroughly — reviewing police reports, obtaining surveillance footage, consulting accident reconstruction experts, and documenting every injury to maximize your recovery.

Common Questions
Car accident settlements in Georgia vary widely based on injury severity and circumstances. Minor soft-tissue injuries typically settle for $10,000 to $50,000, moderate injuries requiring surgery for $50,000 to $250,000, and severe or catastrophic injuries for $250,000 to over $1 million. Georgia’s comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) can reduce your recovery if you share fault. Contact Overbird Law for a free, personalized case valuation.
While not legally required, hiring an experienced car accident attorney significantly increases your chances of receiving fair compensation. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your payout. Studies show accident victims with attorney representation recover substantially more than those who negotiate alone -- even after attorney fees. Overbird Law offers free consultations and works on contingency, so there is no financial risk to hiring us.
Call 911 (required under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-270), document the scene with photos and witness information, seek medical attention within 24-48 hours, do not admit fault or give recorded statements to the other driver’s insurance, and contact a car accident attorney before accepting any settlement offer. These steps protect both your health and your legal claim.
Georgia’s statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For property damage claims, the deadline is four years. Claims against government entities have shorter notice requirements. Missing the deadline permanently bars your claim, so do not delay in contacting Overbird Law.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11) requires insurance companies to offer UM coverage, though you can reject it in writing. If you have UM coverage, your own insurer pays for your damages. You can also sue the uninsured driver directly, though collecting can be challenging. An attorney at Overbird Law can review your policies to identify all available coverage.
