Types of vehicle accidents and determining liability
When we’re behind the wheel, we tend to forget that motor vehicle accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, with devastating consequences. From car and motorcycle accidents to truck and bus accidents, these incidents can result in serious injuries, property damage, and even death. If you or a loved one has been involved in a motor vehicle accident, it’s important to seek the help of a personal injury attorney who can help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Car accidents
Car accidents are among the most common types of motor vehicle accidents. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, mobile phone use while driving and reckless driving. Car accident victims may suffer injuries such as whiplash, broken bones, or head trauma, which can require costly medical treatment and ongoing care.
A personal injury attorney can help car accident victims receive settlement for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the accident.
Motorcycle accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be particularly dangerous due to the lack of protection for riders. Injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents can be severe, and victims may require long-term care or rehabilitation, which can be costly both financially and physically. Common injuries from motorcycle accidents include head injuries, broken bones, road rash, and spinal cord injuries.
Truck accidents
Truck accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including driver fatigue, mechanical failure, and distracted driving. Because of their size and weight, truck accidents can result in severe injuries or even death.
Determining liability in a car accident can be complex. Under the state of Georgia law, the person who caused the accident is usually held liable for damages. However, there are situations where multiple parties may be at fault.
To prove liability, you must show that the other driver breached their duty of care and caused the accident. You must also show that you suffered damages as a result of the accident, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
State of Georgia Laws: Statute of Limitations and Comparative Negligence
In Georgia, there is a statute of limitations of two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you do not file within this time, you may lose your right to compensation. Additionally, Georgia follows the modified comparative negligence rule, which means that your damages may be reduced if you were partially at fault for the accident.

Outstanding service. We got our settlement. LaShanda is very professional and took care of our family. She assured that our questions were answered and we had a full understanding.

My experience with the Henningsen Firm was amazing! I'd been injured in two other car accidents in my life and the paralegals who worked the cases were hard to reach... read more and not very helpful. Also, it took almost two years for my previous cases to be settled so you can imagine my surprise when LaShanda called me and told me my offer from the insurance company was in after only 5 months?! Case was settled totally a month later. I can't say enough great things about this firm. I'm so thankful!

I was involved in an accident that wasn't my fault, I really didn't have a clue what to do next. The day after I was released from the hospital I... read more was very down because I was hurt, out of work and scared. My wife and I were watching TV, and good day channel 5 featured Mr. Todd Henningsen, injury attorney and he was actually giving advice for FREE....We took that as a sign, and called. From the moment I walked through his door, I was treated with kindness, respect,and EVERYTHING with my case was taken care of by Mr Henningsen and his paralegal Carmen, all I had to do was follow their instructions. I was very impressed with their service from start to end. I will recommend them to EVERYONE I know. Thanks so much, and I wish you both much success

Karen was amazing to work with and I loved that she ALWAYS replied to me in a timely, courteous, professional manner. She never left me wondering and I appreciate that.... read more Responsiveness is very important to me and I feel it shows professionalism which i’m thankful Henningsen Injury Attorneys have in abundance.

Excellent customer service. Very responsive. Great outcome. I was in a major car accident and while it could have been worse, I was not in the situation to deal with... read more insurance, hospital calls, etc. on my own. My experience with Henningsen was very positive. Carmen (my main contact) was very responsive, broke down complicated literature for me, and always had my best interest at heart. If I had anything relating to the accident - I just forwarded it her way and I knew it was taken care of. I would recommend them again and again!

I would recommend to anyone! I’ve heard horror stories about various law firms and I was very skeptical in the beginning. However, I am so grateful for my experience with... read more the Henningsen Law Firm. This is actually a late review. My first experience with them was in 2018. Mrs. Tammy was my case manager and she is A1! She is very professional. Mrs. Tammy communicates thoroughly and timely which is really important when going through an emergency situation. Any time I had a question, Mrs. Tammy answered me with clear and direct answers! I had never been in an accident prior to my incident in 2018 and she gave me so much peace throughout my case. I am so glad I found them. During that time, I didn’t have any medical insurance, my car was a total loss, and suddenly it was a domino effect of unfortunate events for me such as losing my job, housing, etc...My attorney group still made sure I had the best medical care and transportation. I’d also like to mention that my settlement was reached pretty quickly compared to what I’ve been told is the norm; and it was more than enough for me to get my life back together, even after the medical bills, etc...I truly felt as if they fought for me! I’ve recently been in another accident. I didn’t even think twice before calling them again and I asked for Mrs. Tammy, lol. No offense to any other case managers because if you work with this firm, I’m sure you’re great. However, my grandma always told me “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! I love Mrs. Tammy💚. I have no worries about anything. Anytime someone I know gets in an accident, I refer them to Todd Henningsen because I know they will be taken care of all the way around. He is considered a “Super Lawyer” for a reason! You would think I was on their payroll the way I talk about my experience with this firm, but it’s only because I mean it and I want to help someone else make the best decision for themselves as well! If you have any doubt, let Henningsen see you out! God bless

I really appreciated and enjoyed the hassle-free experience of working with Henningsen Injury Attorneys. My consultation with Mr. Henningsen was seamless. He answered all my questions thoroughly and... read more with ease, and was also very personable. Throughout my case, Lashanda called to update me about my case regularly and kept me abreast of where we were in the case process. The law firm had excellent communication and Lashanda returned my calls promptly. Hennigsen and Lashanda were able to settle my case promptly and favorably. I would highly recommend.

If I ever (god forbid) have any other personal injury or know someone who does I will refer them to this firm. I cannot thank Tammy, Carmen and Mr. Henningsen... read more enough for working tirelessly and being so patient through my case. The hospitals were not competent enough to process the claims despite hours of calls, escalations and restating the policy information, but Tammy was so patient with them and me. I always felt that I had a choice in the matter and I was always given the options on how to move forward. Carmen put my mind at ease when the accident initially happened and educated me on the initial process. Thereafter Tammy was my contact and Mr. Henningsen handled things so well that I had to go and meet Tammy in person (although I could have completed things remotely). I wanted to shake her hand and look her in the eye for helping me through this. I had just missed Mr. Henningsen, but I wanted to do the same with them. He is definitely reflected in his team and they are all wonderful!

I am so blessed to have found Henningsen Injury Attorneys! EXCELLENT and efficient representation! They assisted me in a car accident injury claim. Before finding them I was... read more using another attorney whose office had poor customer service and lacked professionalism and integrity. Due to this unacceptable behavior, I sought out another attorney and came across Henningsen and decided to give them a ring. Not only were Mr. Henningsen’s contingency fees more affordable than the first attorney, but every single staff member was extremely professional and compassionate – this was evident from my initial phone inquiry with their office when I spoke with Carmen. She talked to me for over 30 minutes and made sure to answer all questions to my satisfaction and even answered questions I didn’t think to ask! I know they have other clients, but she never made me feel like she was “too busy” for me; I felt like a priority. She also responded super quickly to all emails. While I was hurt, they sent someone to my house to handle the paperwork for me. They explained the process and followed up with me often to see how I was feeling, providing case updates along the way. I told Carmen several times, that they really were the silver lining in a horrible experience. You can tell they care. I hope to never be in another accident, but if I am, there is no way I would even consider another attorney. I rarely write reviews, but they’re very deserving of this. I want everyone to know, you’re in great hands with Henningsen Injury Attorneys. Highly recommended!
