What to Do After a Car Accident in Richmond Hill

  1. Seek Medical Attention Right Away – Even if you feel “okay,” many injuries (like whiplash, brain injuries, or internal bleeding) may not be obvious right away.
  2. Call Law Enforcement – A police report from the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office or Richmond Hill Police Department provides crucial documentation for your case.
  3. Gather Evidence – Take photos, get witness contact info, and note the location of nearby traffic lights, businesses, or road conditions.
  4. Do Not Admit Fault or Sign Anything – Insurance companies may pressure you to accept blame or settle quickly. Always speak with an attorney first.
  5. Call Jarrett & Price – The sooner we’re involved, the sooner we can protect your rights and start building your case.

  • Neck and back injuries, including whiplash
  • Internal injuries and organ damage
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Cuts, lacerations, and scarring

Who Is Liable for Your Injuries?

Establishing fault in Georgia requires demonstrating negligence. This can include:

  • A fatigued driver, especially in truck accidents

Our firm will thoroughly investigate your accident using accident reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, expert testimony, and more to determine who should be held accountable.

We also pursue compensation from all available sources, including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, third-party defendants (like employers of commercial drivers), or government entities if poor road maintenance contributed to the accident.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Punitive damages in egregious cases

Understanding Georgia Auto Accident Law

Auto accident injury cases in Georgia—including those that occur in Richmond Hill, Pembroke, and throughout Bryan County—are governed by state tort law. Georgia is a “fault” state, meaning the party responsible for causing the accident is financially liable for the resulting damages. Whether your crash occurred on I-95, in a local neighborhood, or on a rural Bryan County road, the legal principles are the same: you must prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries.

To establish negligence in Georgia, you must demonstrate the following four elements:

  1. Duty: The at-fault party owed you a legal duty to drive safely.
  2. Breach: That party breached their duty through careless or reckless conduct.
  3. Causation: The breach directly caused your accident and injuries.
  4. Damages: You suffered measurable losses—physical, emotional, or financial—as a result.

At Jarrett & Price, we use every available resource to prove these elements. Our attorneys work closely with accident reconstruction experts, treating physicians, economists, and others to build a strong, evidence-based case tailored to your unique situation.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims—including auto accidents—is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to recover compensation forever.

However, exceptions exist. For example, if your accident involved a government vehicle or unsafe road conditions maintained by a municipality, you may need to file a notice of claim within six months under the Georgia Tort Claims Act. That’s why it’s crucial to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible following your crash.

How Damages Are Calculated in a Richmond Hill Car Accident Claim

The value of your case depends on a variety of factors. Insurance companies often attempt to simplify this process and offer lowball settlements that fail to account for the full impact of your injuries. At Jarrett & Price, we evaluate the true value of your claim by considering:

  • Medical Expenses: ER visits, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and future treatment needs.
  • Lost Income: Time missed from work and diminished earning capacity if your injuries affect your career.
  • Pain and Suffering: Chronic pain, emotional distress, PTSD, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Property Damage: Repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal property damaged in the crash.
  • Out-of-Pocket Costs: Transportation to medical appointments, home modifications, and other expenses.

Each case is different, and we take the time to understand how your injuries have affected your life. We never accept a settlement unless it fully compensates you for your losses.

How We Build a Strong Auto Accident Case

Success in a car accident case often comes down to the details. The attorneys at Jarrett & Price are meticulous in gathering and analyzing the facts. Key evidence we use includes:

  • Police reports from the Richmond Hill Police Department, Bryan County Sheriff’s Office, or Georgia State Patrol
  • Crash scene photos showing vehicle damage, road conditions, skid marks, and traffic signage
  • Witness statements from bystanders or passengers
  • Medical records from local providers like St. Joseph’s/Candler Hospital or Memorial Health
  • Black box data and commercial driver logs in truck accident cases
  • Video surveillance from nearby businesses or traffic cams

When needed, we consult accident reconstructionists and other specialists who can offer testimony about what happened and why. Our goal is always to create a clear and convincing narrative of how your injuries occurred and who is responsible.

Do You Have to Go to Court?

Many clients wonder whether their case will end up in court. The answer is: not necessarily. Most car accident claims settle out of court through negotiations with the insurance company.

About Richmond Hill, GA and the Local Legal Community

Richmond Hill is a growing city located in the heart of Bryan County, Georgia. Known for its welcoming community, strong schools, and proximity to coastal Savannah, Richmond Hill is a desirable place to live and work. The city is home to a diverse and active population, many of whom commute to nearby Pooler, Savannah, or Hinesville. Unfortunately, the increasing traffic along routes like I-95 and Highway 144 has also led to a rise in auto accidents throughout the region.

Auto accident cases that occur in Richmond Hill may be filed and heard in Bryan County State Court or Bryan County Superior Court, both of which are located at the Bryan County Courthouse at 151 South College Street, Pembroke, GA 31321. These courts handle civil matters including personal injury cases arising from automobile accidents, as well as traffic citations and other legal matters that may stem from vehicle collisions. For cases involving smaller damages or specific jurisdictional thresholds, the Magistrate Court may also be appropriate.

At Jarrett & Price, we have experience litigating in the courts serving Bryan County and understand how local rules, court personnel, and judicial expectations can affect the outcome of your case. We bring this localized knowledge to each case we handle in Richmond Hill, which allows us to better advocate for our clients and prepare for any challenges that may arise.
