LaGrange is the county seat of Troup County and one of West Georgia’s largest cities, anchored by Kia Georgia’s manufacturing plant and the I-85 corridor. The influx of manufacturing traffic on the Lafayette Parkway interchange, combined with the commercial activity on Vernon Road and Whitesville Road, has significantly increased serious crash risk throughout the city. If you were hurt in a LaGrange accident, Georgia law gives you the right to full recovery — but the deadline is firm.
