Attorney answer
What should I do after a hit-and-run in Georgia?
Report it to police immediately, canvass for cameras within days, and notify your own carrier: your uninsured motorist coverage is almost always the path to recovery when the other driver flees.

- What is my rear-end accident worth?Value is driven by diagnosis, treatment consistency, permanency and available coverage, not by the size of the dent. A herniated disc with injections and a surgical recommendation is a fundamentally different case from a resolved strain.
- Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other insurance company?No. You have no obligation to give the at-fault driver's insurer a recorded statement, and doing so before your diagnosis is complete usually only helps them build a comparative fault defense.
- How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?Two years for injury and wrongful death, four for property damage, but ante litem notice against a city can be due in six months. The practical deadline is much sooner than the legal one because evidence disappears.
- What makes truck accident cases different from car cases?Federal safety regulations, an electronic data trail that overwrites quickly, multiple liable defendants beyond the driver, and policy limits measured in millions rather than tens of thousands.
