While many personal injury claims are settled out of court, we strongly recommend consulting an Atlanta personal injury attorney immediately after an accident (once you’ve sought medical attention) to protect your interests and determine the validity of your claim. If an injury has been suffered and a personal injury claim with an insurance provider will not sufficiently hold the responsible party accountable and/or compensate you for damages, legal recourse may be the best course of action.
Even if it’s unclear exactly how another party was negligent, we still strongly advise consulting an attorney if you’ve suffered a personal injury. Negligence can be determined in numerous ways (covering actions from a drowsy driver to intentionally inflicted harm), and the degree of negligence might not become clear until a qualified Atlanta personal injury attorney begins to uncover specific evidence.
Speaking with an Atlanta personal injury attorney is also wise in situations where you did not go to a hospital immediately after the accident or if the incident involves a friend or family member as an insurance company may not provide adequate compensation in response to your claim.
