Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident?
Even minor accidents can result in hidden injuries or property damage. An attorney can ensure your rights are protected, handle insurance negotiations, and help you avoid costly mistakes that could reduce your compensation.
After a car accident, your safety is the top priority. Seek medical attention, contact law enforcement to file a report, document the accident scene with photos, and collect contact information from other drivers and witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving detailed statements to insurance companies until you speak with an attorney.
If you were injured due to another driver’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. A car accident attorney can review the facts, evaluate liability, and determine whether you are eligible for compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
If the at-fault driver doesn’t have sufficient insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. An experienced attorney can help navigate the process and maximize your recovery.
Yes. Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Key evidence includes police reports, medical records, photographs of the scene and vehicles, witness statements, and insurance documentation. Gathering and preserving evidence early strengthens your case and improves your chances of full compensation.
Georgia has a statute of limitations that generally allows you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s important to contact an attorney promptly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Not necessarily. Many car accident cases are resolved through negotiations and settlements with insurance companies. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney is prepared to take your case to court to secure the compensation you deserve.
The timeline varies depending on the severity of injuries, complexity of the case, and cooperation of insurance companies. Some cases settle in a few months, while more serious or contested cases may take a year or longer.
Compensation may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and in severe cases, compensation for long-term disability or wrongful death. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case.
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. An attorney can review your situation, determine liability, and advise you on the potential for compensation.
While it’s possible, handling a claim without an attorney can be risky. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and you may miss out on compensation for future medical care, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
