“Compassionate, Professional Legal Representation In Personal Injury Cases.”

Accidental injuries can happen anywhere, and when they do, they often result in serious damages. Your injuries may require extensive medical care and treatments, lengthy recovery times that can prevent you from working or doing the activities you once enjoyed, and long-term disabilities that can impact your overall quality of life. If you are the victim of a personal injury and you live in Carrollton or Douglasville GA, you may require the services of a personal injury lawyer. Contact John B. Jackson Law firm today for a free consultation. You deserve the kind of dedicated, effective legal representation that gets results.

In cases involving personal injuries and accidents, determining what your claim is worth is more than just adding up medical bills and damages to property. It is important to take into consideration the impact your injury could have on your life in the future, psychically, emotionally, and financially. When determining what your injury claim may be worth, it is important consider the following factors:

  • The potential for suffering chronic conditions, with could result in periodic relapses and require ongoing treatment;
  • The impacts health problems could have now and in the future on your ability to participate in activities and do the things you enjoy;
  • The potential for permanent scarring or disfigurement; and
  • Lasting disabilities that could affect your ability to work in your chosen field and could impact your earning potential and future savings.

All of these things and more need to be carefully considered when calculating the total amount your personal injury claim may be worth. Unfortunately, these are often the type of expenses that are either left out or underestimated when dealing with insurance companies. To get a truly accurate estimate of what your claim is worth is to contact our experienced Georgia personal injury attorneys for a free case review.

In the aftermath of an accident, injured victims often mistakenly believe that the insurance company is on their side and will help them to get the amount of compensation they deserve. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The insurer is operating a business, and like any business, their bottom line is making money. In order to accomplish this, companies often limit administrative costs by limiting the amount of time and effort spent on each claim, with the result being that offers to settle your claim may be far less than what you expected or what your case is actually worth. According to the Georgia Office of Insurance, avoid signing an insurance release accepting settlement of your accident claim before doing the following:

  • Conducting your own investigation into the costs associated with replacing or repairing any property damaged in the accident;
  • Speaking with your doctor about the prognosis for your injuries, any future treatments you may require, and any lasting effects or disabilities you may suffer;
  • Keeping a written record of all bills and statements you have received, as well as all correspondence you have had with the company and its representatives; and
  • Consulting with a legal professional before signing a release accepting a settlement amount.

You have one chance to get the compensation you need to recover from your injuries. It pays to have our experienced personal injury attorneys working on your behalf and negotiating with the insurance company to ensure you get the maximum amount you deserve.

In the aftermath of an accidental injury, it does not take long for medical bills to come flooding in. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for these bills and other costs associated with your injuries. How do you manage these medical costs while waiting for your case to settle? You can always elect to have your bills paid through your own private insurance. If you do this, you are still free to receive compensation for these costs through your insurance claim or through a personal injury lawsuit. Your other option is to have our attorneys file a letter of protection on your behalf with your medical providers. This letter lets them know that you are involved in a lawsuit, and assures creditors that they will be paid through the proceeds of your suit or claim.

While most accident victims want to get the maximum amount of compensation for their injuries, many have concerns about actually taking their cases to court. According to statistics from Black’s Law Dictionary, in approximately 95 percent of personal injury cases, the injured party receives a settlement without ever having to step foot in a courtroom. A major reason that insurance companies are willing to settle is that a court proceeding will likely result in increased costs, such as court fees and legal expenses.

Any money saved by offering you less than what your claim is worth is cancelled out by these costs. Additional motivation for at-fault parties to settle is that if a claim amount cannot be agreed upon and the case goes to trial, a judge will then set the amount, which is again likely to involve additional costs, thereby eliminating any savings for the insurer or at fault party.

Usually, when we get into a car accident, we file a claim against the other driver’s insurance company. Our claim is paid within a week or so and we go about our business. We don’t have to worry about taking any legal action.  However, there are times when this isn’t an option. Either your insurance claim is denied, or the other driver is an uninsured driver. Although the law states that you must carry auto insurance if you drive in Georgia, not everyone follows the law.

There are a lot of people who drive without a license. Even more drive without insurance. They know that they’ll probably get caught. Some even drive on a suspended or revoked license all the time. They just keep paying fines and continue to break the law.

Driving without insurance may seem like a victimless crime. But when you’re the one who gets hurt in a car accident, it doesn’t feel so victimless. It feels like the end of the world. You have no idea how you’re going to pay your bills or take care of your family.

Thankfully, there is legal action you can take against an uninsured driver in Georgia. You can contact a Carrolton car accident attorney to help you do this.

Your Carrolton Car Accident Lawyer Can Appeal Most Insurance Denials

If your insurance claim is simply denied, your car accident attorney may be able to appeal it. Car insurance claims are denied for all sorts of reasons. Some of these are:

  • The driver wasn’t listed on the policy
  • The policy wasn’t valid or had lapsed for non-payment
  • The insurance company believes you caused the accident
  • They don’t believe your injuries were caused by the accident

Your car accident lawyer can appeal most insurance denials. However, if the reason for denial is that the policy wasn’t valid, there is nothing your attorney can do. No insurance company is going to pay out a claim on an invalid policy.

This is why almost all drivers carry uninsured driver insurance. This is provided through your own auto insurance policy. It provides limited coverage in cases where you’re injured by an uninsured driver. However, coverage is limited.

Your Carrolton Auto Accident Lawyer Will Help You File Your Uninsured Driver Claim

You should have uninsured motorist’s coverage under your own auto policy. This insurance, while handy, does have its limitations. In fact, the coverage provided by this type of insurance is very low. The coverage is typical as follows:

  • Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury Coverage: Pays for your medical bills caused by the accident. This includes things like hospital visits, surgery, and other medical care. Most policies limit this coverage to either $25,000 or $50,000 per person. The total amount of coverage is usually no more than $100,000 per accident.
  • Uninsured Motorists Property Damage Coverage: This covers the costs of replacing or repairing your car. Depending on the limits of your policy, this could be as low as $5,000 or as high as $15,000. It depends on what policy you choose when you get your insurance.

The problem is that uninsured motorist’s coverage usually doesn’t cover all of your expenses. Your hospital bills could be a lot more than $50,000. And, if passengers in your car were also hurt, the bills could easily exceed the $100,000 limit.

So, what do you do when the policy doesn’t cover all of your expenses? Well, you’ll have no choice but to file a lawsuit against the driver.

Carrolton Car Accident Attorneys Can File a Lawsuit on Your Behalf

If your insurance doesn’t cover all of your damages, you can file a lawsuit against the other driver. Usually, if someone is uninsured, they won’t even respond to your lawsuit. You could end up with a default judgment. Although this sounds great, it isn’t as good as you may think.

Even if you win your suit against the other driver, you may never see a dime. This is because judgment is only as good as the paper it’s printed on. If the driver doesn’t have any assets, you may be out of luck.

To actually collect any money from the defendant, you need to collect on your judgment. This can be very difficult. Your lawyer will do everything he can to get you your money. This may mean he has to do the following:

  • File a lien against their property
  • File a wage execution
  • Apply for a bank levy

Keep in mind, most people don’t have the kind of assets needed to cover the costs of a lawsuit. Although you may eventually recover some of your money, there’s no guarantee.

Your Carrolton auto accident lawyer will do what he can to help you get the money you deserve. Call and schedule your free initial consultation today. Our lawyers at John B. Jackson can answer any questions you may have.
