After you’ve been seriously injured in an accident, the last thing you should be worried about is how you’re going to make ends meet and continue to receive the medical care you need to recover. At the Hines Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers understand how important it is for accident victims to recover the compensation they need, as soon as possible. Our legal team has extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
You’re not required by Georgia law to hire legal representation to handle your case. However, when you work with a personal injury lawyer at the Hines Law Firm, you can level the playing field. Our experienced legal team knows how to investigate your case and gather the evidence needed to prove liability. You don’t have to go through the legal process alone. Let the personal injury lawyers on our legal team fight for your right to fair compensation.
At the Hines Law Firm, a personal injury attorney can guide you through the claims process, every step of the way and can handle all interactions with the insurance company so you can focus on your recovery.
Other ways our legal team can help during this time include:
We’re Committed to Your Success
Shortly after an accident, you may be contacted by the other party’s insurer. The claims adjuster may say they want to hear your side of the story and will ask to record your statement. During the conversation, they may ask questions that seem confusing or misleading. Their goal is to get you to say something that could impact how much compensation you’re owed.
An insurance company is a business and they will do whatever they can to deny a claim or minimize payout. They may also offer you a settlement during this time. These initial settlement offers are often very low and made before the insurance company knows the extent of your injuries or other damages. The claims adjuster will try to give you the impression that if you don’t accept their offer, you won’t be able to recover any compensation. They may even start to call frequently, trying to pressure you into accepting their offer and giving you a deadline to do so.
When you work with a personal injury lawyer at the Hines Law Firm, they will handle all communication with the insurance adjuster, including negotiations. They will also assess your damages and will know exactly what compensation you’re entitled to. When your attorney from the Hines Law Firm takes over, the harassment will stop. If the insurance company wants to speak with you, they must go through your attorney. As we fight for your fair compensation, you can focus on your recovery and moving on with your life.
Accident victims will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation. If you miss this important deadline, your case may be barred from court. This means you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related expenses. At the Hines Law Firm, when you work with one of our personal injury lawyers, they will handle every aspect of your case, including ensuring your lawsuit is filed within the statute of limitations.
At the Hines Law Firm, our legal team will investigate your accident and may consult with experts to determine which damages you should pursue.
In some cases, accident victims can pursue the following types of economic and non-economic damages:
An accident victim may suffer mild to life-changing injuries. At the Hines Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys have handled many accident claims that involved the following types of injuries:
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Nerve damage
Chest injuries
Leg and arm injuries
Back injuries
Neck injuries
Whiplash
Road rash
Broken bones/bone fractures
Hearing loss or vision loss
Crush injuries
Facial or dental injuries
Loss of limb
Burns
Internal organ damage
Internal bleeding
If you suffered life-altering injuries, your personal injury attorney may work with medical professionals, occupational therapists, physical therapists, economists, life care planners, and other experts, to determine the cost of future medical care.
In Georgia, you can still recover compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages, if you were no more than 49% at fault for the accident. However, your settlement or award will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. If you were 50% or more at fault, you would be unable to recover any compensation for your accident-related expenses.
At the Hines Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. With this type of payment arrangement, you will not have to pay any upfront fees. If your case is not successful, you will pay nothing. If you do win your case, your personal injury lawyer will subtract a small percentage from your settlement or award. With this type of payment arrangement, an accident victim who would otherwise not be able to afford legal representation can work with an experienced attorney immediately following an accident.
