If you've been injured in a car accident, you deserve an attorney who will fight for every dollar you're owed — not just accept the first offer from an insurance company.

Overview

Aggressive Advocacy for Georgia & South Carolina Car Accident Victims

Car accidents are the most common cause of serious personal injury in Georgia and South Carolina. Whether you were rear-ended on I-85, T-boned at an intersection in Athens, or sideswiped on a rural highway, the aftermath can be overwhelming — medical bills pile up, you may be unable to work, and insurance adjusters start calling almost immediately. At Bowers Legal Group, we level the playing field. We handle every aspect of your claim so you can focus on healing, and we don't collect a fee unless we win your case.

What We See

Common Causes & Scenarios

Rear-End Collisions

Often caused by distracted or tailgating drivers, rear-end crashes frequently cause whiplash, back injuries, and traumatic brain injuries — even at low speeds.

Intersection T-Bone Crashes

Running red lights or stop signs is a leading cause of broadside collisions, which can be catastrophic for occupants on the struck side of the vehicle.

Distracted Driving

Texting, phone use, eating, or adjusting the radio diverts attention from the road. Georgia and South Carolina both have strict distracted driving laws.

Drunk or Impaired Driving

DUI accidents often result in severe injuries. We pursue both civil compensation and, where available, punitive damages against impaired drivers.

Speeding & Reckless Driving

Excessive speed reduces reaction time and dramatically increases crash severity. We document speed through black box data, skid marks, and expert analysis.

Unsafe Lane Changes

Merging without checking blind spots, cutting off other drivers, or improper passing causes thousands of crashes on Georgia and South Carolina highways each year.

Your Case

What to Expect

We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to evaluate your case and explain your legal options in plain language.

Our team gathers all relevant evidence — police reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, and black box data from the at-fault vehicle.

We handle all communication with insurance companies so you don't have to. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts; we are trained to maximize them.

We calculate the full value of your claim, including future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering — not just current bills.

If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to file suit and take your case to trial.

You receive regular updates throughout the process and have direct access to Chandler Bowers — not just a paralegal or case manager.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and lost earning capacity

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Georgia?+
Georgia's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. South Carolina also has a three-year limit. However, acting quickly is important — evidence disappears, witnesses' memories fade, and insurance companies begin building their defense immediately. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?+
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault — but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. South Carolina uses a similar system. We work to minimize any fault attributed to you and maximize your recovery.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?+
Almost never. Initial offers are typically far below the true value of your claim. Insurance companies make lowball offers hoping you'll accept before you understand the full extent of your injuries and losses. We evaluate the true value of your case before any settlement is considered.
What if the at-fault driver doesn't have insurance?+
We explore all available options, including your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which you may have without realizing it. We also investigate whether other parties — such as an employer if the driver was on the job — may share liability.
How much does it cost to hire Bowers Legal Group?+
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. There are no hourly fees and no out-of-pocket costs to get started.
