Injured in a Georgia car accident?

Kyle Koester is a car accident attorney serving Roswell, GA — representing injured drivers and passengers throughout Roswell and North Fulton County from his nearby Woodstock office. Georgia applies a modified comparative negligence rule with a 50% bar (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33), gives you two years to file (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), and lets you use your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11) when the at-fault driver carries too little. There is no fee unless he wins. Free consultation: 770-744-5250.


You focus on healing. Kyle handles the fight.

In the days after a serious car accident, you're dealing with injuries, doctors, missed work, a totaled vehicle, and an insurance company that's already working to pay you as little as possible. You shouldn't have to take that on alone.

Kyle Koester has handled thousands of car and truck wrecks across Georgia, including the busy corridors that run through Roswell. He knows how insurers build their case against you — and how to build a stronger one for you. From the first phone call, he deals with the adjusters, the paperwork, and the pressure, so you can put your energy where it belongs: getting better.

Every case is treated like it's headed for trial. That preparation is exactly what gives clients the leverage to settle for full value — and the confidence to go to court if the insurer won't be fair.

Local knowledge

The most dangerous roads in Roswell.

Roswell sits on the GA-400 corridor with nearly 95,000 residents sharing the road with metro Atlanta commuters. Certain corridors see elevated crash rates — and knowing how they behave matters when building your case.

GA-400 (Exits 7 & 7A)

High-speed merges, sudden rush-hour slowdowns, and construction zones at the Holcomb Bridge Road interchange make this a hotspot for rear-end chain-reaction crashes and pileups.

Holcomb Bridge Road (SR 140)

A major east-west arterial lined with shopping centers. Heavy turning movements and multiple signals drive rear-end and left-turn collisions, especially at rush hour.

Alpharetta Hwy (GA-9) & Atlanta St.

Runs through historic downtown Roswell. The shift from commercial corridor to pedestrian-heavy downtown near Canton Street causes both vehicle and pedestrian crashes.

Old Alabama Road

A primary commuter route to Johns Creek and GA-400, with heavy peak-hour volume, residential side streets, and school zones.

Mansell Road

One of Roswell's busiest corridors — multiple lane changes, merging traffic, and short signal cycles create frequent collisions.

Where cases are handled

Roswell is in Fulton County, so litigated claims are generally filed in the Fulton County court system. (Kyle to confirm exact venue.)

What we handle

Every kind of crash.

Rear-end collisions

The most common wreck — and rarely as simple as the insurer claims. Whiplash and back injuries can be serious and long-lasting.

Head-on & intersection wrecks

High-impact collisions that often cause catastrophic injuries. We move fast to preserve evidence and establish fault.

Distracted & texting drivers

When another driver wasn't paying attention, we pursue the records and data that prove it.

Drunk & reckless driving

Impaired and reckless drivers can be held fully accountable — sometimes for punitive damages on top of your losses.

Uninsured & hit-and-run

If the at-fault driver has no insurance or fled the scene, we pursue every available source of recovery, including your own coverage.

Catastrophic & fatal crashes

For life-altering injuries and wrongful death, Kyle brings in the experts needed to prove the full, lasting cost.


What to do after a car accident

If you're reading this soon after a crash, here's what protects your health and your claim.

01

Get medical care

See a doctor even if you feel okay — some injuries surface days later, and a medical record protects both your health and your claim.

02

Call the police

An official accident report is critical evidence. Get the report number before you leave the scene.

03

Document everything

Photograph the vehicles, the scene, your injuries, and road conditions. Get the other driver's insurance and contact info, and any witness names.

04

Don't talk to their insurer

Adjusters may call quickly and sound friendly. Don't give a recorded statement or accept an early offer before you talk to a lawyer.

05

Call Kyle

The sooner Kyle is involved, the more he can do — preserving evidence, handling the insurance company, and protecting the value of your case.

Georgia Law, Explained

The statutes that decide your claim.

Insurers use these Georgia laws to shift blame and cut payouts. Here's what each one says — and why it matters for your case.

O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33

Modified comparative negligence (50% bar)

You can recover only if you are less than 50% at fault, and your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. At 50% or more, recovery is barred entirely.

Why it matters: Every percentage point of fault the insurer pins on you costs money — so fault is where car cases are won or lost.

O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33

Two-year statute of limitations

Georgia generally gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Why it matters: Miss the deadline and your claim is barred for good — and evidence fades long before then.

O.C.G.A. § 40-6-390

Reckless driving

Driving in reckless disregard for the safety of persons or property.

Why it matters: Proving reckless conduct strengthens liability and can open the door to punitive damages.

O.C.G.A. § 40-6-391

Driving under the influence (DUI)

Operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Why it matters: A drunk driver can be held fully accountable, often including punitive damages on top of your losses.

O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11

Uninsured / underinsured motorist (UM/UIM)

Georgia drivers can carry UM/UIM coverage that pays when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough. (Confirm current wording.)

Why it matters: When the at-fault driver can't cover your injuries, your own UM/UIM policy may be the difference between a real recovery and none.

Statutory references current as of 2026. Always confirm current Georgia law — your specific case may involve additional or updated provisions.

Car accident questions.

Straight answers to what people ask Kyle most.

Get medical attention, call the police so there's an official report (Roswell Police investigate crashes in the city; Georgia State Patrol may respond on GA-400), photograph the scene and vehicles, exchange information with the other driver, gather witness contacts, and avoid giving the insurance company a recorded statement before speaking with a lawyer.

Georgia generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, but some situations shorten that window. The sooner you act, the more evidence can be preserved.

It depends on your medical bills, lost income, future care needs, property damage, and the pain and impact on your life. Kyle evaluates the full picture rather than accepting the insurer's first offer.

Be careful — early offers are often far below what a claim is actually worth, and accepting usually means giving up the right to seek more. Let Kyle review it first; the consultation is free.

Nothing up front. Kyle works on a contingency fee — you pay no attorney fee unless he recovers money for you.
