Dallas is the county seat of Paulding County and the commercial center of one of Metro Atlanta’s most rapidly growing western counties. US-278, GA-120, and Cedarcrest Road carry enormous traffic volumes from residents commuting to Atlanta, and Paulding County’s limited road network means crash concentrations are high on its primary corridors. If you were hurt in a Dallas accident, Georgia law gives you real options — but time is short.
