    How Long After A Car Accident Can You File A Lawsuit?

    No matter how hard you try to stay safe on the road, there is always a chance that you can be involved in a motor vehicle accident. The most important step after your accident is to seek medical help and focus on your recovery. If a licensed doctor has not checked you out, then you should head to the nearest emergency room to ensure that you do not have any latent injuries.

    Suppose you have already sought medical attention and are worried about your increasing medical debt. In that case, you may be able to recover damages for your financial losses through a personal injury claim. However, in order to bring forth a claim, you need to ensure that you were meeting specific deadlines relevant to your case.

    What is a duty of care?

    When individuals are driving in the state of Georgia, they owe a duty of care to other drivers on the road. That means that they are expected to drive in a safe manner and take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others using the road. Even inexperienced or learner drivers owe a duty of care to other drivers on the road and can be held liable when they are not. Drunk drivers, drivers on their cell phones, distracted drivers, or those not driving safely are all breaching or violating their duty of care.

    What is a statute of limitations?

    A statute of limitations is how long a victim has to file a personal injury lawsuit after the date of the accident or the date of the discovery of the injury. Each state has its own statutes. In the state of Georgia, the statute of limitations for a car accident claim is two years. If a minor was injured in the accident then the statute of limitations is “tolled” until their 18th birthday.

    What happens if I do not file my claim right away?

    If you sought medical attention immediately after your accident, then you have already incurred medical expenses related to your injuries. The sooner that you can file a claim, the sooner you can get the settlement that you deserve to pay off those bills.

    There are other reasons besides your financial health that should inspire you to seek an attorney right away. The longer you wait, the greater your risk of the defendant’s attorneys minimizing the seriousness of your injuries and calling into question why it took you so long to file your claim. They will try to argue that your injuries were actually due to another accident or event and that their client is not responsible for your financial losses.

    When should I speak to an attorney?

    It’s best to speak to an experienced auto accident lawyer immediately. The insurance company will likely try to contact you to get a statement, but you do not want to speak with them without your lawyer present. They may try to get you to say something that could reduce your settlement, such as apologize for the accident or unintentionally admit fault. The sooner you hire a personal injury attorney, the sooner you can get expert legal advice from someone advocating on your behalf and looking out for your interests.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
