How Can a Norcross Car Accident Attorney Help?

The aftermath of an auto accident can be frustrating, painful, and overwhelming. On top of your injuries and the stress over being out of work, you must negotiate with an insurance adjuster who is refusing to offer a fair settlement. That’s where the car accident lawyers at the Hines Law Firm come in. Our legal team can guide you through each step of the claims process and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

During this stressful time, our legal team can help by:

01

Investigating the Accident

To build a strong case, your attorney will investigate the collision and gather evidence, such as:

  • Police reports
  • Eyewitness statements
  • Pay stubs
  • Vehicle repair estimates
  • Photos of your injuries, the accident scene, and vehicle damage
  • Video footage (if available)
  • Expert testimony
  • Medical bills
  • Medical records
02

Handling Settlement Negotiations

Shortly after an accident, the other driver’s insurance company may try to contact you and ask to record your statement. During this time, they may seem helpful and friendly, but their goal is to get you to admit fault or say something that could harm your claim. They may also offer a settlement at this time, but these initial settlements are never enough to cover the cost of your economic and non-economic damages. These offers are also usually made before an insurance adjuster even knows the extent of your injuries. The insurance adjuster may try to pressure you into accepting their offer, claiming it’s the only offer you’re going to get. Instead of dealing with an aggressive claims adjuster, contact a car accident attorney at the Hines Law Firm as soon as possible.

A car accident attorney can handle all communication with the insurance adjuster, including settlement negotiations. While we negotiate with the insurance company, you can focus on your recovery.

03

Filing a Lawsuit

If the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, your car accident attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court. As they prepare for trial, your attorney will continue to negotiate with the insurance company. Fortunately, most car accident cases are settled out of court.

What Damages Am I Entitled to After a Car Crash That Wasn’t My Fault?

The economic and non-economic damages you’re entitled to will depend on the circumstances surrounding your case, such as the extent of your injuries, how much time you missed at work, and how the accident has affected your life. At the Hines Law Firm, we will carefully review your case and consult with experts to accurately assess your damages.

In some cases, a car accident victim can pursue compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Past and future medical care costs
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage
  • Loss of consortium
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent disability
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • And other damages.

Auto Accident Injuries

At the Hines Law Firm, we have handled many car accident claims over the years that have involved the following types of injuries:

  • Nerve damage
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord damage
  • Chest injuries

What is the Statute of Limitations in Georgia?

Accident victims will have two years from the date of a collision to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation for their accident-related expenses. The failure to file within this time frame can result in a case being dismissed, preventing the accident victim from recovering any compensation for their damages.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

Following a car crash, there are certain steps you must take to protect your claim and your legal rights:

  • Check for injuries. If you or a passenger are injured, contact 911. If no one was injured, call the non-emergency police line.
  • Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver
  • When speaking with the other driver, do not admit fault or apologize for the accident
  • Speak with law enforcement and provide only the facts
  • Gather evidence at the accident scene, such as photos of the accident site from different angles, photos of anything that may have contributed to the crash, and photos of vehicle damage and your injuries
  • If anyone witnessed your accident, obtain their names and contact information. Your attorney will want to speak with them.
  • Seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Even if you feel fine, you must still be evaluated by a medical professional. Some types of injuries may not present symptoms for several hours or days following a collision.
  • Contact your insurer and report your accident. Most insurers will require policyholders to report an accident within 24 to 72 hours following an automobile accident.
  • Contact a car accident lawyer at the Hines Law Firm and schedule a free consultation.
