Personal Injury & Car Accident Representation in Clayton and Rabun County, Georgia
If you've been injured in a car accident or other personal injury incident near Clayton, GA — the seat of Rabun County — the Pritchard Injury Firm stands ready to help.

Georgia roads are dangerous. In 2023, the Georgia Department of Transportation reported roughly 1,910,055 traffic crashes, including 7,974 fatal crashes and 740,159 injury crashes statewide. The toll extended into 2024: in just the first quarter, over 300 deaths occurred statewide in collisions.
Motor vehicle crashes remain the second-leading cause of injury deaths and ER visits in Georgia, across all age groups. Distracted driving continues to play a major role: in 2022, over 53% of all traffic crashes involved at least one confirmed or suspected distracted driver; 4.4% of fatal crashes were confirmed distraction‑related, and serious injuries involving distraction rose by 20% in that year.
At Pritchard Injury Firm, our Georgia & Tennessee personal injury attorneys use this data to motivate safer roads — and to help each injured client recover the compensation they deserve.

Understanding the Legal Process in Georgia & Tennessee
Georgia vs. Tennessee Statutes of Limitations
- In Georgia, injured parties must file a personal injury lawsuit within two (2) years from the date of the accident. Missing that deadline could bar your claim completely.
- In Tennessee, the statute of limitations is even shorter: just one (1) year to file a lawsuit. Acting swiftly is essential if your injury occurred in Tennessee.
Proving Fault & Negligence
To succeed, your case must establish negligence: duty, breach, causation, and damages. We help gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and—if necessary—present your case in court to fight for full compensation.
