The Help You Need After A Car Crash Or Auto Accident
You may be facing missed wages, mounting hospital bills and temporary disability after an accident. Our attorneys apply over 100 years of combined legal experience to seek compensation for the full extent of our clients’ damages. We will help you determine current damages and the long-term costs of your injuries. Long-term costs can include medication, surgeries, physical therapy and caretakers.
We are proud of our personal service and significant capabilities in personal injury cases. We can help you seek compensation for accidents, including:
- Car accidents
- 18-wheeler trucking accidents
- Commercial van accidents
- Bus accidents
- Motorcycle crashes
While it is important to report an accident as soon as possible, conversations with insurance companies should be handled carefully. Typically, insurance providers are focused on mitigating costs, while you will need to cover the total amount of losses. If you have been injured in an auto accident, then get an advocate on your side. Contact our law firm located in Gainesville to schedule a free initial appointment.
Protecting You Throughout The Claim Process
The attorneys at Coleman, Chambers & Rogers, LLP, can represent you in all dealings with the insurance company regarding your accident. We will assist with the following matters:
- Determine insurance and asset availability: Our lawyers will examine your insurance policy and any other relevant policies (for example, the at-fault driver’s insurance, the commercial vehicle owner’s insurance, uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance) and identify all coverage that is available to cover your losses, as well as all other potential assets.
- Gather relevant data: We will examine accident reports, talk to witnesses, review medical records, gather all medical bills, document other economic losses such as lost work time, and determine if there were additional losses. We work with toxicologists and accident reconstructionists.
- Present an insurance claim: Our law firm can prepare a demand packet with all relevant information such as the accident report, pictures of your injuries, a medical narrative from your doctor, future medical needs and witness accounts.
- Settlement, mediation and trial: Our goal is for you to receive the insurance settlement you need to cover your losses and fully recover from the accident. If the insurance company’s settlement offer is not fair, we are ready to take your case to mediation or trial.
Answering Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Auto Accidents
When our clients are involved in auto accidents, they often have many questions about their rights and the claims process. As we represent you, we will address your concerns and guide you through every step of your case. Some of the most common questions we receive from our clients include:
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Georgia?
After a car accident in Georgia, prioritize safety by checking for injuries and calling 911 to report the accident. Exchange information with the other driver(s) and document the scene with photos if possible. Avoid admitting fault or making detailed statements to insurance companies until you consult with an attorney. Seeking legal guidance early can help protect your rights and ensure you take the right steps for your claim.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after a car accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, certain factors, such as claims involving government entities, may have shorter deadlines. It’s crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.
What types of compensation can I recover after a car accident in Georgia?
Victims of car accidents in Georgia may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. In cases involving severe injuries, you may also seek damages for long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and diminished earning capacity. An experienced attorney can help evaluate the full extent of your losses to maximize your compensation.
What if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance or enough coverage?
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This type of insurance is designed to cover your losses when the other driver’s insurance is insufficient. An attorney can help you navigate the complexities of UM/UIM claims and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
