Georgia Car Accident Lawyer

A car crash is rarely as simple as the insurance adjuster makes it sound. Vehicle damage, medical treatment, lost wages and the police report each move on a different timetable, and the first settlement offer usually arrives before anyone knows how badly you were hurt.

What we look at after a Georgia crash

We start with the things that are easiest to lose: the police report and any supplement to it, photographs of the scene before the vehicles are moved, damage to every car involved, witness names and statements, and the medical records that connect your injuries to the impact.

Georgia is a fault state, and a recovery is reduced by the injured person’s share of responsibility. A person found 50 percent or more at fault recovers nothing. That makes the earliest version of events matter, and it is one reason we prefer to hear from you before you give a recorded statement.

Insurance company tactics we handle

Adjusters commonly ask for a recorded statement early, request blanket authorization for all of your medical records, or offer money for property damage on the condition that you sign a release. Each of those steps can quietly limit what the rest of the claim is worth.

We take over the correspondence with the insurer, gather the records and bills, and put together the documentation that supports the claim. You are copied on what matters and can reach us directly when a question comes up.

Passengers, rideshare and uninsured drivers

Not every car accident claim runs against another driver. Passengers are often covered under the driver’s policy, rideshare trips raise questions about which policy applies, and a hit-and-run or uninsured driver may mean a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage.

If you are not sure what coverage exists, bring your declarations page to the first conversation. Reading the policy is part of the free consultation.
