Snellville is a Gwinnett County city in metro Atlanta’s eastern suburbs, anchored by the US-78 / Scenic Highway commercial corridor and one of Gwinnett’s densest suburban retail concentrations. The combination of high-volume shopping traffic on Scenic Highway, residential connector crashes on Hewatt Road and Oak Road, and commercial driveway conflicts near Snellville Towne Center creates meaningful crash risk throughout the city. If you were hurt in a Snellville accident, Georgia law protects your rights — but the two-year clock is already running.
