How Can a Personal Injury Attorney Help?

If you are injured in an accident, you may be unable to return to work and are struggling to keep up with the steep ongoing medical bills. You may not know where to turn or how to pursue the compensation you’re owed. That’s where a personal injury lawyer at the Hines Law Firm comes in. When you hire us, our legal team will go above and beyond to ensure you’re taken care of now and in the future. We will work tirelessly to build a strong case and hold the negligent party responsible for your losses. Our goal is to make the entire legal process as low-stress as possible as we fight for your right to fair compensation.

Our legal team can also help by:

Gathering Evidence for Your Case

Your attorney will gather evidence that can support your case and prove liability.

The evidence they may gather can include:

  • Medical records
  • Medical bills
  • Vehicle repair estimates
  • Pay stubs
  • Video footage ( If available)
  • Police report
  • Witness statements
  • Expert testimony
  • Phone records
  • Photos of the accident scene, your injuries, property damage, and anything that may have caused or contributed to the accident

  • Medical professionals
  • Accident reconstructionists
  • Private investigators
  • Engineers
  • Forensic accountants

Negotiating a Settlement

Dealing with the insurance company without legal representation can quickly become overwhelming. Claims adjusters are skilled negotiators. Their job is to get injury victims to admit fault or accept the lowest settlement offer possible. A claims adjuster may contact you soon after the accident and will want to record your statement. While they may seem helpful and friendly, their goal is to get you to admit fault or accept a low settlement.

In most cases, these settlement offers are made before the insurance company even knows the extent of your injuries and other damages. When you hire a personal injury lawyer at the Hines Law Firm, with their legal experience, they will handle all interactions with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations. We’re familiar with the tactics and strategies insurance companies try to use to minimize your financial recovery or deny your personal injury claim. We will not back down or be intimidated.

Our legal team will take the insurance company head-on and fight for maximum recovery of your losses.

Taking Your Case to Court

If the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, a trial-tested attorney at the Hines Law Firm will prepare your case for trial. During this time, they will continue to negotiate with the insurance company. In most cases, the insurance company will be more willing to make a fair settlement offer once a personal injury lawsuit has been filed. If a settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys will present your case before a judge and jury.

Understanding Compensation in Personal Injury Cases

The economic and non-economic damages you’re entitled to will depend on the circumstances of your case.

On average, the injured party can pursue the following types of damages:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Past and future medical costs
  • Property damage
  • Loss of companionship
  • Past and future medical costs
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium

Your personal injury attorney will carefully review your case to assess damages and ensure you pursue maximum compensation for your losses.

What Are the Time Limitations for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?

In Georgia, personal injury victims will have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the responsible party. Failure to file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations can result in your case being dismissed. This means you will be unable to recover any financial compensation for your accident-related losses. When you hire an experienced lawyer to handle your case, you can feel confident that your attorney will file your case correctly and before this important deadline.

If you were involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault, don’t hesitate to contact our personal injury law firm to speak with a dedicated team member regarding your case.
