First, you should gather all the paperwork pertaining to the accident, starting with the police report. If you have not received a copy, you can call the law enforcement agency that responded to the scene of the accident, and they should be able to get you one. Then collect your medical bills and try to figure out how long you’ve been out of work and how much pay you’ve lost so far. Also, include any bills for repairing damage to your vehicle and any possessions harmed in the crash.
Next, you should contact an Atlanta car accident lawyer and ask for a free consultation. An experienced attorney should be able to figure out where to seek compensation. Often this is the other driver’s insurance company, but in some cases, they may advise you to sue other parties who may have been responsible for the accident.
