Atlanta Distracted Driving Attorney

Distracted driving is a leading cause of auto accidents in Georgia. The Georgia hands free law passed in July 2018 did little to stop accidents caused by distracted driving. Distracted driving accidents include use of cell phones, GPS, eating, drinking, applying makeup or anything else that takes your eyes off the road.

Distracted Driving Penalties in Georgia

  • 1st Offense – $50 and one point on your license
  • 2nd Offense – $100 and two points on your license
  • 3rd Offense – $150 and three points on your license

Thousands of people are killed nationwide in distracted driving accidents and many more are seriously injured. Do you know if the person who caused your accident was a distracted driver?  If so, you may be entitled to additional compensation.  It is important to have an accident attorney that understands how to handle these claims and will fight for a great result.
