Personal Injury

Personal Injury LawyerAs a Georgia personal injury lawyer, I know that the first time you file a personal injury claim, you don’t know what to do.  Should should hire a personal injury lawyer or should you try to figure out the laws and negotiate yourself?  These are the questions you are likely asking, but the answer is easy.  Call a personal injury attorney to see if you have a case.  You are bound to have question like who will pay my medical bills?  Or how much is my claim worth?  All of these are great questions that require full knowledge of your case as well as relevant Georgia law on car accidents, premises liability, tractor trailer accidents, civil litigation techniques and more.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I live in McDonough, Georgia, but I was in a car wreck in Jackson, Georgia with a driver from Stockbridge.  Where is the personal injury trial held? Answer:  The proper location for suit would likely be Henry County because the driver lives in Stockbridge.

Lost Wages in an Georgia Insurance Claim

Any wages you can prove that you lost due to the accident are recoverable.  Once you have returned to work, we can send a letter to your employer with an authorization to release employment information and a salary and lost wage verification.  This information will be valuable in supporting your lost wage claim for your settlement.

Police Report in a Car Wreck Lawsuit

The police report in a lawsuit contains vital information for your personal injury claim.  For example, you were in an accident in Stockbridge, Georgia.  The report indicates the name, address, phone number, and insurance company for the at-fault driver, who might be a McDonough or Jackson, Georgia resident.  I must have this information to proceed with a direct action against the other driver.  If the other driver is unknown, then we can help bring help utilize the uninsured motorist coverage in your own insurance policy for your injuries.

The police report also contains a list of the occupants and witnesses, information of injuries, statements made by witnesses and drivers, and any citations given to the at-fault drive such as DUI or reckless driving.

Witnesses are believable.  They were not in the accident.  They have nothing to gain.  Of course, these are generalizations, but the fact still stands.
