Every situation is different. These answers offer a useful starting point before we discuss the facts of your case.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We charge nothing up front. Our fees are collected only if we win your case.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some claims can be resolved in a matter of months, while serious or disputed cases may take considerably longer, particularly when litigation is necessary.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia?
In most cases, Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, some exceptions apply, especially with government entities or minors. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Never accept a settlement without legal advice. Insurance companies often offer far less than your case is worth. We can review any offer and help you understand your true options.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. But if the insurance company won’t offer a fair amount, we’re prepared to go to trial and fight for you.
Can I recover damages if I was partly at fault?
Yes, Georgia law allows recovery as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
What types of compensation are available?
Medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and wrongful death damages for families may be available depending on the facts of the case.
