Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a car accident?

First of all, seek help from the local police and medical assistance. Once everyone is “ok”, note as much information as possible. Jot down as much of the following information as you can.

• Names, drivers’ license numbers, contact information
• Name and contact information of all passengers, pedestrians or witnesses
• Insurance information such as Company, Agent, Policy number, Insured’s name.
• Note whether the other party(s) appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Any statements you may have heard from other passengers or witnesses
• Contact information for law enforcement on the scene.

In many cases where an injury occurs, it may not be possible to gather this valuable information. It may be difficult to locate witnesses and information supporting your accident.

A knowledgeable Georgia automobile accident attorney can help with gathering witnesses, reviewing evidence and interacting with the insurance companies to build a solid injury case and get you the best possible compensation for your injury.

What compensation can I receive after a Georgia automobile accident?

It depends. In Georgia, hundreds of automobile accidents occur every day. In many cases, these accidents are minor and do not require legal action to recover loses. But all too often it’s more complicated than that. If you are injured in an automobile accident, you will likely incur losses such as medical expenses, loss in income due to the inability to work, loss or damage to the automobiles and car rental.

Compensation differs from accident to accident. If you or a family member is injured in a car accident, it’s essential to seek the assistance of a lawyer to help retrieve the compensation needed to cover all expenses, loss of income and pain and suffering.
