Drivers may sometimes forget that all traffic laws, even those that seem to be insignificant or even annoying to some, have been put into place in order to help prevent crashes from occurring. Georgia residents who have been injured in a car accident may benefit from speaking with an attorney. The family members of deceased victims may also benefit from seeking an attorney’s advice. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, property damages, or funeral costs.
