Understanding Accident Litigation In Atlanta

Atlanta accident litigation

If you are injured or lose a loved one in an accident, usually the first thing that happens is for a party to look to the insurance company of the other person to collect damages for the injury. It is a good idea to hire an Atlanta accident lawyer to speak on your behalf to all parties involved including the insurance company. Your attorney knows how to work hard to maximize the compensation you can recover through your accident litigation in Atlanta. In the event your accident lawyer in Atlanta is unable to settle your case with the insurance company, your attorney can bring a lawsuit on your behalf.

Negotiation and settlement

Soon after you retain your accident law firm in Atlanta, your lawyer is ready to gather information and begin the process of negotiation with the insurance company. One of the most important aspects of building your case is finding evidence to support your side of the argument.  If you have been injured in Georgia, you can help your Atlanta accident attorney investigate your case by providing the following items:

  • A copy of the police report
  • Traffic tickets given to the other person
  • Photos of the scene of the accident
  • Any other documentation you may have showing how the injury has negatively impacted your life
  • Names, addresses. and phone numbers of any witnesses
  • Medical records and bills
  • Photos of your injuries

You can expect your Atlanta accident lawyers to negotiate with the insurance company to obtain payment for:

  • Current and future medical expenses
  • Wages and income you have already lost and can expect to lose in the future
  • Other damages suffered as a result of the accident.

An insurance adjuster's settlement offer is likely to be far less than the amount your attorney requests. At this point in the Atlanta accident litigation process, your attorney and the insurance company should come to an agreement on the amount of payment you are to receive.

The majority of insurance claims are settled at the adjuster level. If your lawyer and the insurance adjuster are unable to settle your case, your Atlanta accident law firm knows how to take your case to trial. It is important to have an experienced Georgia litigator by your side to maximize the amount of your recovery.
