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 trial held? Answer: The proper location for suit would likely be Henry County because the driver lives in Stockbridge.
Lost Wages in an Georgia Auto Accident Case
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.
Police Report in a Car Wreck Lawsuit
The police report in a lawsuit contains vital information. For example, you were in an accident. The report indicates the name, address, phone number, and insurance company for the at-fault driver. 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. 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 in a Injury Lawsuit Witnesses are believable. They were not in the accident. They have nothing to gain. Of course, these are generalizations, but the fact still stands. If you know of an eye-witness regardless of where they live, McDonough, Stockbridge, Griffin, Conyers, or anywhere, this can be invaluable to your case. In some cases, the eye-witness is the difference between a great settlement and disputed liability and a lower settlement. I strongly encourage you to disclose anyone who may have seen or heard your accident.
CLIENT DIARY IN A PERSONAL INJURY CASE

When you write down each time your life changed because of the injury, or every time you suffered pain or worry, you are helping your case. If brushing your hair or taking a shower caused pain, jot it down. Insurance companies and jurors in a personal injury case can understand these examples.
