Georgia Auto Law: Auto Accident Attorneys

This is the best arrangement for injured people because it allows them to have a great personal injury lawyer without having to pay expensive hourly rates that other lawyers charge. This allows you to be on the same playing field as the big defense lawyers who are trying to fight against us. You only pay your legal team if they win your case for you. If you or a loved one have been injured, contact Georgia Auto Law’s personal injury attorneys today for a completely free, no-obligation case evaluation. You do not have to fight this battle alone.

Personal injury lawsuits have very strict deadlines in Georgia. This law is called the “statute of limitations.” It means that you have 2 years from the date of the accident to file the lawsuit. If you wait too long, then you will not be able to make a claim for compensation. If you have been injured, you should consider hiring a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to make sure you do not lose the opportunity to seek compensation.

A personal injury settlement takes place when your lawyer, and the other lawyer, come to a mutual agreement on the amount of compensation for your damages. This will include your medical bills, lost wages, expenses, and pain and suffering. There are many factors that will have an impact on the final amount of personal injury settlement. Things that affect the personal injury settlement amount are the severity of your injuries, the nature of the accident, your lost wages, and your medical bills. We will fight for this settlement with no upfront fees at all, we only take a fee from the final settlement if we win your case for you. Generally, most personal injury cases settle. When Georgia Auto Law is on the case, the insurance companies know our strong reputation in handling auto accident cases in Georgia. They do not want to mess with us. They know that car, truck, and motorcycle cases are all we do, and they know we have the resources to beat them.

As your lawyer, we take as much stress off of your shoulders as we can. While you focus on getting better and back on your feet, we do all the work needed to build your case. But, here are a few things to keep in mind: - Attend all medical treatment to get better - Don’t admit fault for your injuries - Document your good days and bad days due to your injuries - Inform your lawyer of any documentation you have (photos of injuries or damages cars, police reports, medical bills, insurance documents)

As your personal injury lawyer, we are the team that stands up for you and fights to get you the compensation you need in a personal injury lawsuit. The first thing we do is investigate your case and gather all of the necessary evidence. Then we use that evidence to build the strongest possible case. Here are some of the things we do in the personal injury lawsuit process: - Visit the scene of the accident to investigate - Speak to witnesses - Review all documents - Evaluate the nature of the accident and what happened - Work with medical experts - View and analyze any photos and video - Work with experts who can recreate the scene of an accident This is just a sampling of the things that your lawyer will do throughout the personal injury lawsuit. We use the information we gather to go toe-to-toe with the defense lawyers, and we do not stop fighting until we get you the compensation you deserve. We strive for maximum compensation in every single case.

Plaintiffs are entitled to certain categories of damages related to their injuries. Generally, personal injury lawsuits are filed to recover compensation (“damages”) to compensate the plaintiff for harms and losses he or she has suffered as a result of a personal injury. The overall idea is that a personal injury victim has a right to compensation because he or she should not have to bear the financial hardship caused by another person or company’s actions. The bottom line is that you should not have to pay for damage caused by someone else. Under Georgia law, there are several types of damages that you can get in a personal injury lawsuit. Some of these are considered “economic” damages and are related to actual costs incurred after an injury (medical bills, lost wages, etc.). There are also “noneconomic” damages which are more subjective and do not have “exact” dollar figures.

Pain and suffering is money that an injury victim can recover for the physical pain and emotional distress from an accident. Pain and suffering is different that medical bills and lost wages. Those things are called “economic damages” because they have an exact number. However, pain and suffering damages compensate you for the day to day pain, change in lifestyle, interference with enjoyment of life, interference with daily activities, and other things. This is money above and beyond your medical bills that you have a right to. You should make sure you speak with a personal injury lawyer to make sure you get the full amount of pain and suffering compensation in your case.

You are probably wondering how much your personal injury case is worth. There are some key factors: what happened in your accident, how severe your injuries are, the insurance coverage available. The main thing that increases your case value is how much the plaintiff could get in damages at trial, including the following: - Past medical bills - Future medical bills - Lost wages - Loss of earning capacity - Loss of consortium - Pain and suffering It is hard to give an exact potential value because these factors can vary a lot from case to case. However, an experienced personal injury lawyer should be able to give you an estimated value after investigating the case. The lawyer will look at your medical records, police reports, witness statements, and all other evidence. This information can provide an overall picture of how much compensation you can get from a personal injury lawsuit.

Yes, our personal injury lawyers at Georgia Auto Law are taking on the big insurance companies and winning cases every single day. Our results show that we will fight for you to get the compensation you deserve to cover your bills. If you or a loved one have been injured, then financial hardship should not be one of your worries while you try to get back on your feet. We are here to take that stress off your shoulders.

A personal injury can be a life changing event. When you are hurt by the negligence of someone else or a company, you will be left with huge medical bills, expenses, and lost wages that should not come out of your pocket. After all, you did not cause your own injury. Therefore, personal injury lawsuits are very important for injured victims to have justice and not be left with all of this on their own. The impact of a personal injury can range from a slight annoyance to something that will affect you every day for the rest of your life. Regardless of the severity of your injuries, personal injury lawsuits exist so that you can hold the negligent person or company (and their insurance company) accountable. This means that you get the compensation you need to get your life back on track. If you have suffered an injury, contact a contingency-fee attorney if you want to file a personal injury lawsuit to receive compensation.

There is no doubt that motorcyclists are fully exposed to the elements. This is part of the freedom and enjoyment of riding a motorcycle. However, this can leave the rider exposed to more dangers in the event of a motorcycle accident. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accident injuries include the following: - Spinal cord injuries - Broken bones - Traumatic brain injuries - Head trauma - Neck injuries - Back injuries - Brain damage - Loss of limbs - Paralysis - Death If you were injured, or lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, then you may have a right to compensation. The motorcycle accident lawsuit process is complicated, and the motorcycle accident attorneys at Georgia Auto Law are seasoned fighters against the big insurance companies.

There are many things out on the roads that can cause a motorcycle accident, including the negligence of other drivers. Negligence can cause a motorcycle accident in the following ways: - Failing to follow the speed limits - Not leaving enough space between the vehicles - Failing to yield - Swerving in front of a motorcyclist - Cutting off a motorcyclist - Failing to see a motorcyclist when changing lanes - Driving under the influence Failing to properly yield and failing to see a motorcyclist on the roadway are the most common causes of motorcycle accidents. Many of these crashes happen because drivers do not use proper care when making turns at intersections. In other words, they do not look closely enough to see the motorcyclist. When this happens, and it causes an injury to the motorcyclist, the motorcyclist has a right to compensation.

Medical expenses. Motorcycle accident victims can receive compensation for medical treatment, hospital care, surgeries, etc. if the injuries were related to the accident. You can also recover future medical costs if you will require medical treatment in the future. Lost wages and lost future earnings. Motorcycle accident victims can recover compensation for money they lost by missing work due to their injuries. If a victim had to be away from work to recover from injuries, then that money can be recovered. In a motorcycle accident case, the rider can also recover for lost future earnings if he or she is unable to return to work due to the injuries. Pain and suffering. Under Georgia law, a motorcycle accident is claimed the same way as a personal injury claim. Therefore, you are able to recover compensation for pain and suffering that resulted from the motorcycle accident. The amount of pain and suffering damages depends on the severity of the injury.

A motorcycle accident can be a very scary and life changing event. Because a motorcycle rider is exposed to the elements, a motorcycle accident is usually more severe than a passenger car accident. Sometimes a small bump on a motorcycle can lead to severe injuries. Victims of motorcycle accidents need to find an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer to make sure they get the compensation they deserve. Some people think that motorcycle riders are “taking risks” by riding a motorcycle. But, motorcycle riders have the same rights to use the roads and enjoy riding as anyone else does.

It is important to note that every truck accident case has its own specific facts and circumstances. The amount you recover depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the amount of time the injuries last, if the injuries are permanent, and whether surgery is involved. Additionally, it will depend on which companies may be liable in the case and, therefore, may have more insurance coverage.

There is no doubt that most large trucking companies have teams of lawyers, experts, and investigators ready immediately to travel to the scene of a crash involving one of their trucks. Their job in doing this is to minimize your injuries and lessen the fault of their truck and truck driver. You should avoid speaking with any of them until you have hired a Georgia truck accident lawyer to represent you in these matters. These professionals will be very nice and make it seem like they are on your side, but trust us, their number one goal is to pay you as little as possible. Do not sign any documents or give any statements without first speaking to your truck accident lawyer.

The quick answer to this question is yes, you absolutely need an attorney for your truck accident claim. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to successfully litigate a truck accident claim on your own. The reason for this is due to the fact that truck accident cases are highly complex. There may be many different parties at fault leading to multiple parties being liable for your injuries. Further, trucking companies are large businesses and they have a lot of money to hire their own attorneys. These attorneys work day and night to try to devalue or even deny your claim. It is critical that you have a strong legal team on your side who knows how to beat these trucking companies and insurance companies. You need and experienced truck accident lawyer to fight for you. At Georgia Auto Law, we know how important it is to have a truck accident lawyer in your corner. That is why we offer our services on a contingent fee basis. This means that you pay us nothing unless we win your case.

We often get asked by people for an estimate about how much their case is worth. It is normal to want to know how much money you will have to cover you medical bills, lost income, ongoing treatment, etc. However, it is impossible to place an approximate value on a case without looking closely at the specific facts of each case. Contact our team to schedule a free consultation with one of our Georgia accident lawyers to learn more about how much your case might be worth.

Yes. Federal law requires commercial trucks which operate in interstate commerce (meaning, in more than one state) to carry a minimum of $750,000 of bodily injury and property damage insurance. Additionally, some trucks are required to carry a minimum of $5,000,000 if they are hauling hazardous material. Given that Georgia has adopted the federal regulations, these minimums also apply in our state as well.

Where your truck accident case is filed depends on where the crash took place and the parties involved. The primary location to file a lawsuit under Georgia law is the county where the crash occurred or where the defendant resides. The secondary location is the county in which the plaintiff resides of the accident took place in Georgia but the defendant does not reside in Georgia. Sometimes, a trucking company will be able to move the case to federal court under certain circumstances.

The majority of truck accident investigations start when the victim or the family hires a truck accident lawyer. From that point, the attorney will request various information from the trucking company along with making sure the trucking company does not destroy valuable evidence. This is why it is so critical to contact a Georgia truck accident lawyer as quickly as possible after your accident. The trucking company will provide us with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) “driver qualification file” (DQF). This file includes information relating to the driver’s medical/lab test results (drug and alcohol tests), driving record, commercial driver’s license information. We also thoroughly investigate police reports from the accident, interview witnesses, review the truck’s “black box” recorder, and visit the crash site. We often schedule an inspection of the truck by an expert. We have a team of accident reconstruction experts and trucking industry experts.

Yes, one of the types of damages we claim is called “lost wages.” This amount is to compensate you for the money you would have made at work but did not make because you were not able to work. Therefore, it is possible to receive money for the times you missed work due to your truck accident injuries. You may also be able to recover for lost “earning capacity” resulting from the truck crash.

The actual damages you may be able to recover will depend on the details of your case. If you sustained bodily injuries, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, lost future earnings (earning ability), emotional distress, and pain and suffering. If a loved one was killed in the truck accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for medical expenses prior to death, funeral/burial costs, loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and more. In some rare cases, you may be able to recover punitive damages if you can show that the negligence was very serious or that the accident was intentional (or caused by some intentional act).

A truck accident victim has two years [O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33] from the date of the crash to file a truck accident lawsuit in Georgia.

In a truck accident case, there could be a number of parties who are liable. Often, people think that the truck driver is the one who caused the accident but we have to remember that the truck driver is an employee of the trucking company. Therefore, the trucking company may be responsible for the accident as well. For example, we often see trucking companies (focused on making as much money as possible) force their drivers to meet deadlines that cause them to drive in a dangerous way. The driver might drive for too many hours in a row, drive while fatigued, or use illegal stimulant drugs to meet these deadlines. In these instances, the trucking company may also be found liable for the truck accident because it “looked the other way” or, worse, encouraged risky truck driving behavior. If you have been injured in a truck accident in Georgia, then you need to have an experienced truck accident attorney review your case and find out who may be liable for your injuries.

A commercial truck is a type of vehicle used in the transport of commercial goods or passengers. For example, tractor-trailers, semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, commercial busses, delivery vehicles, freight trucks, dump trucks, Mack trucks, bucket trucks, big-rigs, and construction trucks. A commercial truck that has a full load can reach up to 80,000 pounds. Additionally, a commercial motor vehicle may also be any truck that is used by a business for some business or work purposes. If you think you were involved in an accident with a commercial truck, please call one of our dedicated Georgia truck accident lawyers at (404) 662-4949 or fill out our consultation form and one of our team members will reach out to you within minutes. It is important to move quickly regarding truck accident cases as trucking companies may destroy important evidence.

The time after a car accident can be stressful. Our lawyers always recommend that you stay calm and remember to collect the information of the other driver. If they caused the accident, your car accident lawyer will use this information to hold their insurance company accountable. Our car accident lawyers recommend that you gather the following information: Name Address Telephone number Insurance company Policy number Drivers license number License plate number

Yes. You should call your own insurance company as soon as possible after your car accident in Georgia. Most insurance policies say that you have to notify them of your car accident within a certain time period after the accident, and sometimes they have short time periods. So, it is best to try to call your insurance company as soon as possible.

When you are in a car accident, there is a lot that takes place in the aftermath. Dealing with an insurance claim alone is very difficult. Insurance companies will try to settle your case as quickly as possible for as little as possible. Your Georgia car accident attorney will step in and make sure this does not happen.

If the insurance company for the other driver is trying to offer you a settlement quickly after a car accident in Georgia, then they are probably trying to close your case quickly. This means that the amount of the settlement check will probably be very low. Meaning it will not cover all of your losses. If you accept this quick trick to close your caes, then you can not get more compensation later if you find our your losses are much higher than you first thought. You should have a Georgia car accident lawyer review any offer from an insurance company. Remember that the insurance company wants to close your claim as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible. A quick offer means that it will not take into account all of your potential injuries. It also does not take into account the full extent of your pain and suffering

Unfortunately, there are people out there who drive without auto insurance. If you are in a car accident in Georgia and the driver who hit you does not have auto insurance, it is also likely that they do not have any money to pay for your medical bills and other injuries. Many people have Uninsured Motorist coverage (UM) or Underinsured Motorist coverage (UIM) on their own auto insurance policy. This UM and UIM coverage can provide a means for you to recover valuable compensation for your injuries, including pain and suffering, when you are injured in a car accident by an uninsured driver. Check your own auto insurance policy to see if you have this coverage. One of our Georgia car accident attorneys will be able to help you build your case in order to make a claim on this coverage.

Determining whether or not you will get money for the damage to your vehicle will depend on what your insurance policy says about the coverage you may have for property damage.

Although it may be uncomfortable, it is important that you have well documented photos of your injuries in order to prove the extent of your bodily injuries. Your Georgia car accident lawyer will use these photos as evidence of your injuries when building your case.

It will be very important for you to take photos of the damage to all vehicles involved in the crash. When making your claim to the insurance company, your Georgia car accident attorney will use these photos as evidence in your case. If you are unable to take photos of the damaged vehicles at the scene due to your physical injuries, tell the responding officer that you want them to take photos as part of their investigation. They will do so if you request it.

In Georgia auto accidents, it is important to gather certain information in the aftermath of a crash. You should obtain all contact information for the other driver, any passengers, and any witnesses. This contact information should include name, address, phone number, insurance information, and license plate information. Witness information is especially important in case the at-fault driver tries to change their story after the accident. This happens very often, and a Georgia car accident attorney will be able to contact witnesses in order to build your case.

If you are physically able, you should obtain a copy of the police report for the car accident you were involved in. Most auto accident attorneys will need a copy of it for your file, so it is best to already have it. Many incident reports can be ordered online or you can reach out to the police department that responded to your accident.

There is nothing more important than your physical health and well-being after a car accident. So, you should seek immediate medical treatment. Oftentimes, you may be in shock after a car accident and you may not realize how serious your injuries actually are. Therefore, we recommend always being evaluated in the closest emergency room or hospital. It is always better to err on the side of caution so, if you think you may be injured, it is best to ask for an ambulance to take you to the hospital so that you can be properly evaluated by medical professionals. Even minor pain should be reported immediately and fully documented to the responding officer. You should report all injuries, pain, and symptoms to EMS responders and medical professionals at the Emergency Room. Be sure to report any of the following symptoms immediately: headaches, ears ringing, any problems with vision, changes of emotional feeling, lightheadedness, headache (even if very minor), or memory loss.

Absolutely. It is very important to call the police immediately after any car accident in Georgia, even if the car accident was very minor. Having the police respond and prepare police report is very helpful in the aftermath of an accident.

The amount of a final settlement can vary depending on the case. In Georgia, a victim of a car accident can recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other categories. Our car accident lawyers will use your medical bills, car repair bills, and other factors to determine the value of your case. Then we can determine how much we can get the insurance company to pay.

In a Georgia car accident, there is a lot that goes on after the accident that can be overwhelming. Taking on the insurance claims process by yourself can be very difficult. And this is even more true if the other driver is saying they are not at fault. The insurance company will try to settle your case quickly for way less than it is really worth. When you hire a car accident lawyer, you will have someone on your team fighting for you.

At Georgia Auto Law, our clients are like family. And it has always been that way.

We handle auto accident personal injury cases including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, as well as accidents involving pedestrians.

Immediately following the accident you should contact police and seek medical treatment for your injuries. Often, trucking companies will send their defense attorneys, insurance adjusters, and investigators directly to the scene of a truck accident and it is critical for you to never speak with them. They might try to get you to give a statement or sign documents at the scene, but you should refuse to do so because doing so might harm your right to recovery. It also could be a good idea to call a Georgia truck accident lawyer from the scene of the accident. We have team members who will go out to the scene and conduct an investigation on your behalf.

The party responsible for paying for a vehicle that was damaged or destroyed in a truck accident is based on the language in the at-fault party’s or your own auto insurance policy. It will depend on what sort of property damage coverage is available in the case.

Under Georgia wrongful death law, certain family members have the right to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of a relative who was killed in a trucking accident. The following individuals may file a wrongful death claim in Georgia (in order): 1. The surviving spouse and children of the deceased 2. The surviving parent or parents of the person killed if there is no spouse and no children. 3. If there are no surviving spouse, children, or parents, then the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file the Georgia wrongful death claim

In Georgia, any person or company responsible for causing a truck accident can be sued. This includes the truck driver, the shipping company, the load broker, trailer owner, and the trucking company. Further, any other driver or company who may have contributed to the truck accident can also be sued. This might include vehicle manufacturers or property owners.

Our team certainly understands how daunting it can be to hire a lawyer after you have been injured. After all, we always think that lawyers are incredibly expensive, right? However, at Georgia Auto Law we take all cases on a contingency basis [contingency page]. This means that we do not get paid a single dollar until we win compensation for our clients. We advance the total cost of the case until the case is resolved and you get your damages award. This means that it does not matter how much money you have, or if you think you can not afford a lawyer. You can have the best truck accident lawyer on your team for absolutely no money out of your pocket. Take a look at more information about how our contingency fee works.

Whether or not you have a truck accident case will depend on a number of factors about what happened in the collision. Sometimes, another driver other than the truck driver may have caused the accident. In order to pursue a claim for damages, you must show that the other party/parties involved are at fault for the accident. You will also have to show that your injuries were indeed caused by the truck accident.

Under Georgia law, you are required to notify your own auto insurance company of the crash as soon as possible. In order to protect your future rights to make a possible Uninsured Motorist claim, you should notify your auto insurance company of the car accident as soon as possible after the crash. Even when dealing with your own auto insurance company, we recommend contacting the best Georgia car accident attorney you can find in order to make sure your rights are protected. Some of these timelines for notifying your own insurance company can be very complicated, so it is often necessary to consult a lawyer for assistance. If you would like to speak with one of our lawyers about your case, please call Georgia Auto Law now.

No. Just like you should never give a recorded statement to any auto insurance claims adjustor, you should also never sign a release. So often, people will quickly sign documents without first speaking with a Georgia car accident attorney, and these releases could limit your rights to recover compensation in your case. If you are being asked to give a recorded statement, sign a release, or asked to describe the accident to any auto insurance claims adjustor you should call a Georgia car accident attorney and they will be able to help you protect your rights.

No. You should never give any statement to any auto insurance company in Georgia. Auto insurance claims adjusters (even your own) will try to get you to give a recorded statement in order to attempt to “downplay” the extent of your injuries, pain, and suffering. They do this in cases where the damage to the vehicles is relatively low, and they will later try to show that you were not truly injured. The best course of action is to consult with a Georgia car accident lawyer before speaking with any auto insurance claims adjusters.

It is very important to keep through records of your injuries and all of the medical treatment you have had. Follow these few “Injury Documentation Rules” and your Georgia car accident lawyer will be able to build your case as strong as possible: Rule 1: Note the date of every time you received any medical treatment and the amount charged. Rule 2: Document every doctor’s visit, medications taken, prescriptions, medical imaging (x-ray, MRI, CAT Scan, etc.), hospital visits, surgeries, treatments. Rule 3: Maintain a “Pain Diary” in which you document any pain you are experiencing on a day-to-day basis. This should include any pain, emotional distress, tiredness, inability to live life the same way as you did before the car accident, and any other problems the car accident has caused you.
