Car Accident Lawyers in Douglasville

The most useful thing we can tell someone about a Douglasville car accident is how to describe where it happened. Douglasville's I-20 exits are 34 at Bill Arp Road, 36 at Chapel Hill Road and 37 at Fairburn Road. If the crash was at Thornton Road, that is exit 44, and exit 44 is in the Lithia Springs and Austell end of Douglas County — about ten miles east of downtown Douglasville and a genuinely different place.

Getting that right in the first week saves a fortnight later. The responding agency may be different, the crash report is filed differently, and the businesses whose cameras might have caught it are entirely different premises. We have had cases where the report could not be located for a month because everyone involved, including the client, was looking under the wrong municipality.

What does not change is venue: both are Douglas County, and the case is filed at 8700 Hospital Drive where Superior and State Court share a building with State Court on the fourth floor. What is worth knowing about that court is that the county is growing at about 3.5 percent a year and the bench is three Superior Court judgeships against a reported workload value of 1.22 — a strain measure from the Administrative Office of the Courts, covering Superior Court only, and explicitly not a statement about how long a case takes, because Georgia does not publish that.
