Savannah Car & Truck Accident Law w. Andy Conn is a podcast for people who deserve more than a quick settlement and a rushed phone call from their attorney. Hosted by Andy Conn — founder of Conn Law Firm and one of Georgia's most consistently recognized trial lawyers — this show is built around one idea: when you've been seriously hurt, you deserve to actually understand what's happening with your case. Andy comes from a world where preparation and tenacity aren't optional — they're the standard. The son of a professional football player who won a Super Bowl, Andy grew up watching what it looks like to compete at the highest level. He brought that same relentless approach to law school at the University of Georgia, then to a decade at a top-tier trial firm, and ultimately to founding Conn Law Firm in Savannah. He has been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year for a decade, and has recovered over $70 million for injury victims across the state. Each episode of this podcast digs into the scenarios that accident victims in Georgia actually face — going up against trucking companies with full legal teams, dealing with insurance adjusters trained to minimize payouts, figuring out what your medical records actually mean for your case, and knowing when a settlement offer isn't enough. Andy shares what he's learned handling commercial motor vehicle accidents, products liability cases, medical malpractice, and catastrophic injury claims, and breaks it down in a way that anyone can understand. This isn't a podcast designed to sound impressive. It's designed to be useful — for the person sitting in a hospital bed after a truck collision, for the family member trying to figure out next steps, and for anyone who wants to go into the legal process informed rather than overwhelmed. Topics covered in this podcast include: * What to do immediately after a car or truck accident * How insurance companies evaluate and often undervalue serious injury claims * Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in Georgia * Why medical documentation is one of your most powerful legal tools * Negotiating a fair settlement versus taking a case to trial * The mistakes that quietly cost injury victims thousands of dollars * How a focused, selective law firm builds stronger cases * Andy's background, values, and what drives his commitment to catastrophic injury clients If you've been seriously hurt and want to understand your options, or if you simply want to be better informed before something happens, Savannah Car & Truck Accident Law w. Andy Conn delivers honest, experience-backed guidance from one of Georgia's most prepared trial attorneys. Free consultation at connlawfirm.com |(912) 373-86422026

    2026/07/17
    A defective product case in Georgia does not require proving a manufacturer was careless, just that the product itself was defective. Andy Conn of Conn Law Firm in Savannah joins the show to walk through the three types of product defects, Georgia's strict liability rule, who can be sued, what a case is worth, and the two deadline traps that can end a claim before it starts. Questions answered in this episode: What is a product liability case under Georgia law? What are the three types of product defects? What is strict liability under O.C.G.A. 51-1-11? Who can you sue in a Georgia product liability case? Are punitive damages capped in a Georgia product liability case? What is Georgia's statute of repose for product liability claims? What is the first step after a product injury in Savannah, Georgia? Topics covered: design defects, manufacturing defects, failure to warn claims, strict products liability, the risk utility test, breach of warranty, product recalls, punitive damages, wrongful death claims, the statute of limitations, and the statute of repose. Andy Conn on strict liability: "All you have to prove under Georgia law is when that product left the manufacturer's plant, the design that it left with was defective." Andy Conn on punitive damages: "There is no cap on how much a jury can apply to punitive damages for a product liability case." Andy Conn on preserving evidence: "If you don't have a product, oftentimes you don't have a case."

  • What Your Savannah Georgia Malpractice Case Is Really Worth: The State With No Cap

    What Your Savannah Georgia Malpractice Case Is Really Worth: The State With No Cap
    2026/06/26
    Georgia is one of the only states where a jury, not a statute, decides the full value of a medical malpractice case. Andy Conn, personal injury and medical malpractice attorney at Conn Law Firm in Savannah, walks through every element that determines what a Georgia malpractice case is really worth: the Nestlehutt no-cap rule, how economic and non-economic damages are built, the fact patterns that carry the highest values, and the expert affidavit Georgia requires before you can even file. Questions answered in this episode: In plain terms, what makes a medical mistake rise to the level of malpractice in Georgia? What is the standard of care, and how is it proven a doctor fell below it? Why does Georgia stand out as a state with no cap on non-economic damages? How did the Georgia Supreme Court strike down the malpractice damages cap? What is SB 68, and how could it reshape malpractice valuation in Georgia? What are economic damages in a malpractice case, and how are they calculated? What do non-economic damages cover when there is no cap to limit them? How are future medical costs and life-care needs valued? How is lost earning capacity factored into a Georgia malpractice claim? How does the severity of the harm drive the overall case value? When a baby is harmed at birth in Savannah, how do those cases get valued? Topics covered: Nestlehutt no-cap rule, Georgia non-economic damages, SB 68 tort reform, Seventh Amendment right to jury trial, economic damages, lost earning capacity, life-care plan, future medical costs, birth injury, cerebral palsy, stroke misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, loss of chance doctrine, surgical error, never event, retained surgical instrument, anesthesia error, medication error, informed consent, expert affidavit filing requirement, expert qualification same-specialty rule, medical causation, statute of limitations two-year deadline, statute of repose five-year outer limit, foreign-object exception, Chatham County courts, Memorial Health University Medical Center, contingency fee. Andy Conn on why Georgia is different: "Georgians and our elected officials have decided that we don't wanna put a cap on somebody's life. We don't wanna put a cap on someone's pain and suffering." Andy Conn on causation: "Even if you know a doctor messed up, and even if you know you've been seriously injured or your loved one's killed due to that mess-up, you still have to prove a link that the thing they did caused the bad outcome."

  • Savannah, Georgia Truck Accident Cases: Why They're Worth More and Harder to Win

    Savannah, Georgia Truck Accident Cases: Why They're Worth More and Harder to Win
    2026/06/16
    Georgia Board Certified personal injury attorney Andy Conn of Conn Law Firm in Savannah explains why a commercial truck accident case in Georgia runs on a completely different legal track from a car accident case, why those differences add up to a case that is worth substantially more, and why it is substantially harder to win. Questions answered in this episode: Why is a Savannah truck accident case treated so differently from a regular car accident case in Georgia? Who can actually be held responsible after a commercial truck wreck in Savannah? How do commercial truck insurance policies compare to Georgia personal auto policies? What federal FMCSA regulations govern trucking companies that do not apply to ordinary Georgia drivers? Why does evidence disappear so fast in a Georgia truck accident case, and what is the role of a spoliation letter? What is a black box on a truck and what does it tell investigators at a Savannah crash scene? What does the early investigation of a Savannah truck accident involve in the first 30 days? Topics covered: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, Hours of Service Rules, Electronic Logging Device mandate, Drug and Alcohol Testing, Commercial Driver's License disqualification, respondeat superior trucking liability, MCS-90 Endorsement, truck black box/EDR, spoliation/preservation letter, Georgia State Patrol Post 42 Rincon, negligent hiring, Port of Savannah cargo securement, broker liability, life care planning, accident reconstruction, Daubert standard, Chatham County venue strategy, and Memorial Health University Medical Center trauma care. Andy Conn on why hiring an attorney fast matters in Savannah truck cases: "Even if you're prudent and you call an attorney the day after a wreck, I can almost guarantee you in any serious tractor-trailer accident, the attorney for the defense has already been out to the scene." Andy Conn on the $750K minimum insurance floor: "As a normal driver, you're only required to carry $25,000 in insurance coverage, whereas depending on the type of truck and whether it's interstate or intrastate, usually they have to maintain at least $750,000." Andy Conn of Conn Law Firm represents truck accident victims throughout Savannah, Chatham County, and across Georgia in 18-wheeler accidents, commercial trucking crashes, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death cases on I-95, I-16, and Port of Savannah freight corridors.
