Speed changes everything about a crash. It cuts the time a driver has to react, lengthens the distance a vehicle needs to stop, and multiplies the force that hits your body when two vehicles collide. A crash that might have been a fender bender at 25 miles per hour can become a life-changing event at

There is almost no warning in a wrong-way crash. You are driving in your own lane, doing everything right, and a car appears headed straight toward you on the same road. In many cases, there is no time to brake, swerve, or even react. The result is often a head-on collision at highway speed, with

You are driving along, minding your own lane, and suddenly a car moves into your space. Maybe you slammed the brakes. Maybe you swerved. Maybe there was no time to do anything at all. In Atlanta, where traffic is dense and lanes change fast, an unsafe lane change can cause a sideswipe, a spinout, or

Few phone calls are as frightening for a parent as the one that says your child was in a school bus accident. You rush to the scene or the hospital, you check every inch of your child, and even if the injuries seem small, you wonder what comes next. Who is responsible? Who pays for

One moment traffic is moving. The next, brakes squeal, metal crunches, and three, four, or ten vehicles are tangled together across the lanes. Multi-vehicle crashes, which many people call pileups or chain-reaction accidents, are some of the most confusing collisions on the road. Everybody is talking at once, nobody is sure what happened first, and

Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous crashes on the road. Two vehicles meet front to front, and the force of both speeds combines in a single moment. Survivors often face long hospital stays, surgeries, and months or even years of recovery. Families who have lost someone face something even harder. If you or a

Rear-end crashes happen all the time on Atlanta roads. You are sitting in stop-and-go traffic on I-85, I-285, or GA-400, you look up, and a few seconds later someone hits you from behind. It can feel like a minor bump. It can also leave you with neck pain, headaches, and months of doctor visits. Many

A rollover is one of the most violent things that can happen to a vehicle and the people inside it. In a few seconds the car or SUV leaves the road, tips, and rolls, and the roof, the windows, and the doors all become part of the danger. Even when everyone walks away, the injuries

An underride accident happens when a car slides underneath a semi-truck’s trailer during a collision — usually a rear-end or side impact — and it’s one of the most catastrophic types of truck accidents on the road. Because the trailer sits much higher than a car’s crumple zones and airbags are designed for, underride crashes

T-bone crashes — also called broadside or side-impact collisions — are some of the most dangerous accidents on Atlanta roads. Cars simply don’t have the same crumple zones and airbag protection on the sides that they do in the front and back, so even a moderate-speed T-bone can cause serious injuries. At Virguez Law, we
