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.

If you’re involved in a car accident, you’re going to suffer some pretty serious injuries. The first thing to do after the accident is seek medical attention. The second thing to do is call the police. Never leave the scene of an accident without getting a police report.

Once you’ve been treated and are sure you’re okay, you should contact a car accident lawyer in Atlanta. You need to focus on getting better. Let your attorney handle the legal side of things.

Once your lawyer reviews your case, he’ll get an idea of what caused the accident. Most accident are caused by negligence. The other driver was either speeding or driving recklessly at the time of the accident. Or maybe he was texting and driving and didn’t even see your car in front of him.

Other accidents are caused by car defects. There are basically two main types of car defects:

  • Defective design
  • Manufacturing defect

However, there is a third possible type of defect that can cause an accident. If a garage serviced the vehicle, they may have caused a problem that led to the accident.

Your lawyer will file a claim against anyone who may be responsible for your injuries. This includes the other driver. Even if the defect contributed to the accident, the other driver was still operating the car at the time of the crash.

Who Will Your Auto Accident Lawyer in Atlanta Pursue for Your Injuries?

Your auto accident lawyer in Atlanta is going to file a claim against anyone who may be responsible. This includes:

  • The other driver
  • The driver’s insurance company
  • The manufacturer
  • The dealership who sold the car
  • The mechanic who serviced the car

Of course, if your lawyer knows exactly who’s responsible, he won’t have to name all of these parties. However, if he’s not sure who is directly responsible, he will have to pursue them all. They can fight it out to see who’s ultimately responsible.

Let’s say, for example, that a car is driving behind you going about 65 mph. As you’re approaching a traffic jam on the highway, he slams into the back of your car. He later claims that he hit the brakes and nothing happened. The car he’s driving has experienced a lot of accidents where brake failure was an issue.

Well, let’s look at who might be Responsible for the Accident?

  • The driver – did he hit the brakes too late? Was he driving too fast and that’s why he didn’t slow down in time? Was he distracted driving?
  • The manufacturer – Does this car have a design defect? Have they issued recalls for the brake system? Have there been other cars of the same make and model with this issue?
  • The dealership – Did the driver just buy the car? Was it taken on a test drive where the driver experienced a similar issue?
  • The mechanic – Did the driver just get his brakes changed at his local mechanic’s shop? Did they do something to the car?
  • The manufacturer of the brakes and parts? – Maybe the brake pads or rotors were defective.

Your lawyer will hire experts to nail down exactly what happened. However, any or all of the above parties may be held responsible for your injuries. 

Atlanta Car Accident Lawyers Have Handled Cases Like This Before

Chances are, you’re not the first person to have a car defect cause an accident. Your Atlanta car accident lawyer has seen lots of cases just like yours. He has years or decades of experience in this type of law. He knows exactly what needs to be done to get you the compensation you deserve.

When you first meet with your lawyer, he’ll ask you what happened. He’ll look at the police report to determine what may have caused your accident. He’ll file a claim against the driver’s insurance company. If they refuse to pay, you’ll have to file a lawsuit.

Once he files suit, your lawyer will demand certain information from the defendants. He’ll ask for copies of crash tests conducted by the manufacturer. He will  conduct depositions of all the parties named in the suit. He’ll ask the pertinent questions. He’ll find out what really caused your accident. 

One good thing about naming multiple parties in your suit is that everybody will point the finger at each other. The driver’s insurance company wants the manufacturer to be held responsible as much or more than you do.
