Single Vehicle Accidents in Georgia

Even though car accidents frequently involve multiple parties, that does not mean another driver has to be involved in order for an accident to occur.

A single-vehicle accident can happen for a variety of reasons. These collisions occur more frequently than one might think.

If your vehicle is the only one involved in the accident, you may believe you are automatically at fault and must pay for your own damages. However, this is not always the case. Even if your vehicle was the only one involved in the crash, you may have the legal right to seek compensation if the accident was caused by another party.

It is critical for drivers to understand the various options available to them in the event of a single-car accident, as well as the legal ramifications that can result from such an accident.

A driver is liable for a single-vehicle accident if their actions were the direct cause of the accident. Proximate cause means that their actions set in motion the events that led to the crash.
