ATLANTA CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit for your injuries or a loved one’s wrongful death. However, there are exceptions.  If your claim involves a city or county-owned vehicle, your claim period can be as little as six months. In order to collect and preserve evidence, and witness accounts, it is always advisable to file your claim as quickly as possible.

Damages available in a car accident case include medical care costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. If a loved one died in an accident, you may receive compensation for funeral and burial expenses in a wrongful death claim. Damages can be significant, but it is important to have a personal injury lawyer who understands the full scope of damages that are available.

It is difficult to determine the exact value of a car accident case without reviewing the specific details of the accident and any resulting injuries. The value of an automobile accident case will depend on numerous factors, including the severity of the injuries, the number of medical expenses incurred, and the impact the accident has had on the victim's ability to work and earn a living. In some cases, the value of a car accident case may include compensation for pain and suffering.

With this in mind, an experienced Atlanta car accident lawyer can help their client to determine how much they may be entitled to receive through a settlement or court award. Many lawyers will work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only collect a fee if their client's case is successful.

Most likely you will not have to go to court, but it depends. The vast majority of Georgia car accident cases settle outside of court. However, if a fair settlement is not offered and going to trial is necessary, The Graham Firm will not hesitate to go to court and fight to get you the justice you deserve.

Regardless of whether your injury is insignificant or catastrophic, whether the other driver remained at the scene or fled the scene, and whether the other party’s fault is straightforward or not so much, our attorneys can help.
