Personal Injury is a very broad term that encompasses injuries caused by several different circumstances. At The Barionnette & Eisenhower Law Firm, our practice is focused primarily on automobile accidents, including tractor trailer wrecks and motorcycle accidents, and accidents that occur in the workplace. This section focuses on the ins and outs of automobile accidents.
No matter what kind of wreck you were involved in, it is essential that you seek legal advice. Research overwhelmingly shows that those who obtain the services of an experienced attorney to help guide them through the claims process secure much higher settlements than those who attempt to handle their claims on their own.
Most people have heard about personal injury claims, but surprisingly few have an understanding of what they actually entail.
As a result, a large number of injured victims have unfortunately been left with unpaid medical bills, ongoing injuries, and little to no financial compensation following a serious auto accident.
It is therefore our goal to provide our clients with the information they need to ensure the best possible outcome for their cases.
From the moment a wreck occurrs, there are a number of things that must be done to ensure that you have a solid foundation for your claim, including:
After obtaining an initial medical examination, it is crucial that you seek follow-up medical care for your injuries.
The timing, quality, and extent of your medical care will have a significant impact on your physical health and the overall value of your personal injury claim.
Settlement of your claim for maximum financial compensation is the ultimate goal in any personal injury case.
Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as the insurance companies would like you to believe.
Strategy in presenting a settlement demand and familiarity with Georgia insurance laws are both essential to your financial recovery.
Your Injuries & Recovery
Each case varies depending on how long it takes for the injured victim to recovery from their injuries.
Your Patience
You can close your case at any time, but being willing to wait until the optimal time to try to settle your car accident claim typically yields a higher settlement.
Available Insurance Coverage
Sometimes the amount of insurance coverage available can dictate how long a case will last. If there is limited coverage available, your medical bills may be high enough after your first visit to the emergency room to warrant a settlement for the full limits of coverage right away. Conversely, if the insurance policy has extensive coverage, your case may be able to support longer lasting medical care if necessary to your recovery.
The Insurance Adjuster
How willing the insurance adjuster is to present a fair offer. How responsive they are. Do you have to file a lawsuit?
No attorney can accurately tell you what your case is worth in the very beginning. Be wary of any attorney who claims to be able to do so.
Each case is unique and the value depends on the facts of the wreck, how much insurance is available, the extent of your injuries, the extent of your damages, any potential defenses that could lower value.
