The Personal Injury Advocates Strongly Believe Knowledge is Key!
A personal injury attorney will work to maximize your settlement. In most cases, you only have two years to file a suit. Contact us immediately so that we may thoroughly evaluate your case.
Injury Compensation
If you’ve suffered a personal injury due to someone else’s negligence, take action and speak with a personal injury advocate to get the compensation that you deserve.
Insurance companies are notorious for trying to get you to accept the lowest possible settlement. When you have a personal injury advocate on your side, you can fight back and demand that you receive fair compensation.
A Personal Injury Lawyer Offers a Different Perspective
When you’ve been injured, it’s important to think about your future. For example, if you were in a car accident and received a back injury, your back could be injured for the rest of your life. Your personal injury attorney will work to ensure that you receive enough money to cover your out-of-pocket costs, medical bills, and future expenses.
Having an attorney on your side may help you to avoid rushing and taking a settlement and then later discover that you have more extensive damages than you originally estimated.
Don’t risk your future or expect an insurance company to help you. Take action and get an advocate on your side. To connect with one of our personal injury advocates, call 678-855-7205.
If you’ve suffered a personal injury because of the negligence of another person or a company, you have the right to compensation. The process of recovery relies on a series of other rights.
You have a Right of Free Choice.
First and foremost, you have the right to hire the personal injury attorney of your choosing. This includes the right NOT to deal directly with the other party’s insurance company. Many of your other rights are best protected by exercising this right wisely, since your personal injury attorney will be the primary champion of your rights. In choosing a personal injury attorney, you should seek someone who will :
- Show you respect;
- Keep you fully informed of the progress of your personal injury case;
- Handle your case professionally;
- Keep in contact with you and return calls promptly;
- Be honest;
- Keep your case moving forward; and
- Be committed to your case and your interests.
You Have a Right to Negotiate YOUR Attorney’s Fee.
In Georgia, contingent fee agreements (agreements where the attorney’s compensation is dependent on your recovery) are required to be in writing. That means you should have a written contract with your attorney explaining not only the fee arrangement, but also covering issues like litigation expenses.
You Have a Right to be in Control of YOUR Case.
You will have to make decisions with your personal injury attorney as your case progresses. For instance, you will have to provide information to help your personal injury attorney prove liability in your case. You will have to make decisions about alternatives to litigation like mediation and binding arbitration.
You will also have to decide whether and when to settle your personal injury case. Although you’re represented by a personal injury attorney, it is your right to make a final decision as to whether or not to accept any settlement offers from the opposing party. However, most people don’t have the background, experience or knowledge necessary to make a good decision about that issue on their own. That’s why it’s so important that you choose your personal injury lawyer carefully. You want to be able to trust and rely on the advice you receive from your personal injury attorney.
You have a Right to be Compensated.
The insurance industry has done a very effective job of blanketing the media with the idea that personal injury claims are frivolous, and are somehow responsible for high insurance rates. No one should file a frivolous claim or start a law suit just to “get even,” But if you’ve truly been injured and have suffered physical pain, lost wages, damage to property, increased or unexpected medical expenses, you have a right to be compensated for those losses.
Although insurance companies do not like paying for claims, theyhave contracted with the person or company responsible for your personal injury and promised to pay for injuries. No matter what, you have the right to be compensated for your personal injuries and be made whole.
