Why You Need a Lawyer Who Specializes in Auto Accidents
While auto accident cases are classified under personal injury law, they often have added layers of complexity that make them more challenging to handle than other personal injury claims.
First off, the documentation involved is more extensive. Lawyers need to obtain police reports, reconstruct the crash, and secure vehicle damage and accident scene evidence.
This can be a tedious and long process, and it may not always be a straight path to obtain the required documentation. Vehicle damage evidence can be lost or destroyed, accident scene evidence might not be cleanly preserved, and police reports may take time to be processed, and won’t always be immediately available.
In many cases, records need to be obtained and scraped together from many sources and timelines.
Either way, auto accident lawyers need to find a way to bring these pieces together, document what happened, and present the information clearly to make a solid argument for your case and help your claim go through.
A seasoned auto accident lawyer will know where to look for key evidence and act quickly, and with his or her speed, may even be able to obtain documentation that might otherwise have been lost.
Even with strong evidence though, the claims process for auto accident injuries is rarely straightforward. Auto injury cases are one of the most heavily defended claims, and insurance companies will often do everything in their power to minimize the payout.
That’s why you need someone who’s dealt with enough of these cases to know how to counter and deal with tactics like delaying, lowballing, or requests for unnecessary documentation.
Whether you’re looking to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, or emotional distress, our experienced personal injury attorneys will guide you through every stage of the legal process with clarity and understanding.
Car Accidents
Cars are the most common vehicle on the road, which means the majority of auto injuries come from car accidents. As a matter of fact, car accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim filed in the US, making up more than half of all personal injury cases.
Unfortunately, this also means insurance companies are well-versed in defending against car accident claims. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may engage in tactics like shifting the blame to you or even downplaying your injuries.
That’s why having an experienced personal injury attorney is vital to the success of your claim.
Even a minor automobile accident can result in painful, lasting injuries, ongoing hefty medical bills, and cause you to miss work — or worse, lose your job entirely. You deserve to be fairly compensated for your pain, lost wages, and medical expenses.
Reach out to us today to speak with a car accident attorney who will fight for your fair compensation.
Our car accident lawyers are familiar with the entire legal process of filing a car accident claim, from obtaining your medical records and treatment notes to show how the crash affected your life, to negotiating with insurance companies and even filing a personal injury lawsuit, should the situation call for it.
Whatever the cause of the accident is, be it drink driving, speeding, or distracted driving, you can count on our attorneys to help you obtain full and fair compensation.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents often cause serious injury or even wrongful death due to their massive size. Whether it’s 18-wheelers or delivery trucks, they’re so much larger and heavier than most other vehicles that when accidents do happen, they’re often catastrophic collisions that can involve long-term disabilities and, in the worst cases, loss of life.
Due to the severity of injuries involved, the financial stakes are usually higher. You’ll be fighting to ensure your hefty medical expenses can be fully covered and that you’re duly compensated if the accident does severely impair your ability to work or get on with your life.
Truck accidents also involve stricter rules and regulations that govern both the driver and the truck. These include things like the hours a driver can work, the load that the truck can carry, how well the truck was maintained, and so on.
Your lawyer needs to know these rules and regulations inside out to be able to determine and hold the responsible party accountable, whether it’s the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance company, or even the manufacturer of the truck or its parts.
That’s why you need a lawyer in Athens, GA who’s proven his or her success specifically in the truck accident claims space.
Our lawyers genuinely care, which means they’ll do what it takes to get your insurance company to agree to a fair settlement and to pursue the maximum compensation you’re entitled to under personal injury law, including aggressive litigation if necessary.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can also be highly dangerous, as motorbikes are much smaller than other vehicle types and riders don’t have seatbelts or a metal frame to protect them. In a head-on collision with other vehicle types, a motorcycle rider is almost always going to sustain more severe injuries than the other party.
In spite of this, insurance companies tend to assume that the rider is at fault, and this bias influences how they assess your claim.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys, having handled many of these cases, understand the unfair stereotypes and assumptions riders face.
Rest assured that you'll be working with an Athens personal injury lawyer who's adept at combating these unfair biases and clearly proving that the crash was caused by someone else’s negligence, not reckless riding on your part.
Our seasoned motorcycle injury lawyers also understand that many motorcycle injury victims lose their ability to work after the crash. They’ll work to secure compensation for not only your past, but your future lost wages too, as well as for your current and anticipated medical treatment, rehabilitation sessions, and any other expenses that are a direct result of the motorcycle accident.
Reach out to us today for a free consultation, where we’ll walk you through your legal options and explain what to expect at each step of the legal process. And most importantly, you'll be represented by an Athens personal injury attorney who has a proven record of success in your particular type of auto accident.
While we focus on auto injuries, our attorneys also handle a wide range of other personal injury matters, and we can assist you even if your case doesn’t involve a vehicle. These include premises liability (slip and fall accidents), workplace accidents, medical malpractice, and dog bite injuries.
Whether you’ve been in an automobile accident or your injury is non-vehicle-related, our goal is to help you obtain the financial compensation you deserve and give you the support you need to move forward with confidence.
To do that, we need you to take the first step. Don’t wait to seek legal advice. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to obtain the necessary evidence, as over time, video footages may be lost or destroyed, records may be misplaced, and witnesses’ memories may fade.
At the same time, you’ll be suffering in silence from your injuries, with mounting medical bills and possibly loss of income.
So don’t wait any longer. Contact us today for a free initial consultation and begin the journey to obtain the payout you deserve.
