Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No, we work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case. We only get paid when you receive compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Georgia has a statute of limitations of two years for most personal injury cases. However, it's important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What types of compensation can I receive?
You may be entitled to medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages. The specific compensation depends on your case details.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more if they go to trial. We work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your compensation.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention first, then call the police, document the scene, gather contact information from witnesses, and contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we're prepared to take your case to trial if necessary to get you the compensation you deserve.
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Don't accept any settlement offers without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance companies often offer low initial settlements. We can help you determine if an offer is fair.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation if you were less than 50% at fault, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
