Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT SHOULD I DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER A PERSONAL INJURY ACCIDENT IN ATLANTA?
What you do immediately following an accident is crucial to everyone’s safety and any future insurance and legal claims. Here are the steps you should follow:
- Ensure Safety and Call 911: If anyone is seriously injured, call 911 immediately to get emergency medical assistance. Prioritize safety by moving to a safe location if possible.
Even if there are no serious injuries, contacting the police is a critical step. A police report serves as an impartial record that can be significant when filing insurance claims or if legal action becomes necessary. - Exchange Information: Exchange contact and insurance information with all parties involved in the accident. This should include names, phone numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance details.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles involved, any property damage, and the area surrounding the accident. This visual evidence can be crucial for insurance and legal purposes.
- See a Doctor: Whether or not you feel injured, it is important to be checked out by a doctor. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
- Inform Your Insurance Company: Notify your insurance company about the accident as soon as possible. Provide them with all the necessary details and cooperate with their investigation.
- Consult an Attorney: Seek the services of an experienced attorney who can look out for your best interests. An attorney can help you navigate the insurance claim process and any potential legal issues.
By following these steps, you can help ensure the safety of everyone involved and protect your rights in any future insurance or legal matters.

WHAT TYPES OF COMPENSATION CAN I RECOVER IN A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT IN ATLANTA?
WHAT TYPES OF COMPENSATION CAN I RECOVER IN A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT IN ATLANTA?
The types of damages available in personal injury cases generally fall into one of three categories. The amount of compensation you receive for each of the damages depends on the facts and circumstances of your case.
- Economic Damages – These might include medical expenses, compensation for lost income, property damage or other related out of pocket expenses.
- Non-Economic Damages – This might include pain and suffering, permanent impairments and disabilities, or loss of quality of life.
- Punitive Damages – Punitive damages are only available in a few types of personal injury cases. This type of damage is awarded to “punish” the responsible party and deter the party from engaging in similar conduct in the future.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT IN GEORGIA?
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT IN ATLANTA?
In Georgia, the timelines for filing a personal injury lawsuit are as follows:
Personal Injury Lawsuit: You have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
Government Claim: If a government entity is involved, you must notify the relevant agency within six months of the accident.
Extensions may be possible, but it is crucial to act promptly and contact an attorney immediately to ensure your case is handled properly.
WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE GO TO TRIAL, OR CAN IT BE SETTLED OUT OF COURT?
WILL MY PERSONAL INJURY CASE GO TO TRIAL, OR CAN IT BE SETTLED OUT OF COURT?
Most personal injury cases can be settled out of court through a pre-litigation claim, which involves negotiating with the at-fault party or their insurance company for compensation.
However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, you may need to file a lawsuit. This process includes filing a complaint, serving discovery, and possibly mediating. If mediation fails, the case goes to trial, where a jury will determine the outcome. Settling out of court is often quicker and less costly, but going to trial can potentially yield higher compensation, especially in cases involving egregious conduct by the defendant.

WHAT IS MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM REALLY WORTH IN GEORGIA?
WHAT IS MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM REALLY WORTH IN GEORGIA?
The value of a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including medical costs, lost income, the seriousness of your injuries, and how the accident has affected your life. No honest attorney can promise a specific amount at the start. Instead, a lawyer’s role is to document your losses and build a case that supports full compensation under Georgia law.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET A SETTLEMENT CHECK?
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET A SETTLEMENT CHECK?
The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary dramatically. A more straightforward case might settle within a few months, while a complex case involving catastrophic injuries or a dispute over who was at fault might need to be filed as a lawsuit and could take a year or longer to resolve. A good attorney will not rush to a quick settlement at the expense of the full value of your claim.
WHAT IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY BLAMES ME FOR THE ACCIDENT?
WHAT IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY BLAMES ME FOR THE ACCIDENT?
This is a very common defense tactic. Under Georgia’s comparative fault rule, if the insurance company can successfully argue that you were 50% or more responsible for the accident, they do not have to pay you anything. An important part of your lawyer’s job is to fight back against these accusations with evidence and prove that the other party’s negligence was the primary cause of your injuries.
IS IT OKAY TO USE MY HEALTH INSURANCE TO PAY FOR MY ACCIDENT INJURIES?
IS IT OKAY TO USE MY HEALTH INSURANCE TO PAY FOR MY ACCIDENT INJURIES?
Yes, you absolutely should use your health insurance to get the medical treatment you need after an accident. Keeping up with your medical care is essential for both your health and your legal claim.
Your health insurance company may have a right to be reimbursed for the bills they paid out of your final settlement, a process called subrogation, which your attorney will handle for you.
WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE A LAWYER IF THE OTHER PERSON'S INSURANCE COMPANY IS ALREADY CALLING ME?
WHY DO I NEED TO HIRE A LAWYER IF THE OTHER PERSON'S INSURANCE COMPANY IS ALREADY CALLING ME?
The insurance adjuster for the at-fault party is not on your side. Their job is to represent their company’s interests, which means settling your claim for the lowest possible amount.
These professionals are highly trained in negotiation tactics and aim to minimize payouts. Hiring a lawyer levels the playing field, protects you from their tactics, and gives you a professional advocate who is dedicated solely to protecting your interests.
