🚗 What Is a Vehicular Accident Claim?
Vehicular accident claims fall under personal injury law and allow injured victims to seek compensation when an accident is caused by the negligent, reckless, or unlawful behavior of another driver or party.
These claims can arise from:
- Distracted or texting while driving
- Speeding or aggressive driving
- Driving under the influence (DUI/DWI)
- Fatigued or drowsy driving
- Improper vehicle maintenance or defects
- Unsafe road conditions or poor signage

- Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents – Crosswalk injuries, bike lane incidents
- Drunk Driving Accidents – DUI claims involving serious or fatal injuries
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Claims
⚖️ Who Can Be Held Liable?
Depending on the circumstances, one or more parties may be responsible:
- The at-fault driver
- Vehicle owner or employer (if driver was working)
- Automaker (for defective parts)
- Government entity (for unsafe roads or missing signs)
💰 What Compensation Can Be Recovered?
Victims of vehicular accidents may be eligible for both economic and non-economic damages, including:
Economic Damages
- Emergency and ongoing medical expenses
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Non-Economic Damages

| State | Deadline to File |
|---|---|
| Georgia | 2 years from the date of accident |
| Florida | 2 years from the date of accident (as of March 2023) |
