What to Do After a Car Accident in Milledgeville

The steps you take immediately after a crash can make a major difference in your recovery and in your case:

  1. Call 911 – Police and emergency responders will document the scene and provide medical help.
  2. Get a Police Report – Whether your accident is handled by Milledgeville Police Department, Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, or Georgia State Patrol Post 33, this report is essential evidence.
  3. Gather Evidence – If you can, take photos and videos of the scene, vehicle damage, and injuries. Crashes often happen on North Columbia Street (Hwy 441), Roberson Mill Road, or Downtown Milledgeville intersections— make sure to document the location.
  4. Seek Medical Care – Visit Atrium Health Navicent Baldwin or another local provider. Many patients are transported there from accidents on US-441 or near Georgia College & State University.
  5. Notify Your Insurance Company – Report the accident but avoid giving recorded statements without speaking to a lawyer.
  6. Contact a Milledgeville Car Accident Lawyer – An experienced attorney can protect your rights and handle the insurance companies for you.

Why Hire a Milledgeville Auto Accident Lawyer?

Not every car accident requires an attorney, but when injuries are involved, having legal help is critical:

  • Insurance companies work against you. Their goal is to settle quickly and for as little as possible.
  • Liability can be complex. Fault isn’t always clear, especially at busy Baldwin County intersections like Hwy 22, US-441, and Vinson Highway.
  • You may be entitled to more. Medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care should all be considered.
  • Local advantage. Our attorneys know Baldwin County judges and juries, giving you a home-court edge.
