What if the person who hit me doesn't have enough insurance?

If your injuries are severe and there is not enough insurance coverage with the person who caused the injuries, a claim may be made against your own insurance company if you have uninsured motorist coverage. However, you must give your insurance company adequate notice within a certain time frame, or you may be barred by law from recovering anything.

How much does it cost to hire you?

We usually charge 1/3 of the amount the insurance company agrees to pay. You receive 2/3 of the settlement to pay for your medical bills and to compensate you for lost wages and pain and suffering. If we don't win, you don't pay.

What if I can't afford medical treatment right now?

Where our clients do not have the means to pay for their treatment, our office can help find a doctor or chiropractor who will provide treatment if we agree to make sure they get paid later. This is called 'treating on a lien.'

Injured in a motor vehicle accident? Each year, thousands of people are seriously injured in motor vehicle accidents. We serve Atlanta, Georgia and the surrounding area, helping clients with injuries ranging from minor whiplash to major permanent injuries requiring surgery.

Our Procedure for Handling Motor Vehicle Accident Claims

In all cases, no matter how severe, the process of handling a motor vehicle personal injury claim is fairly simple. We look at who is responsible for the injuries. If someone else caused the collision by being negligent (or on purpose), then they should be responsible for the injuries. Next, we look to see who can pay for the injuries (the cost of medical care, lost wages and pain and suffering), like the insurance company for the person who caused the injury.

Common Causes of Accidents

Distracted Driving

One of the top causes of car accidents can be blamed on distracted driving. Don't get distracted by your phone or food.

Drunk Driving and DUI

Drinking alcohol or taking drugs dramatically reduce your ability to drive, and puts yourself and other road users in danger.

Speeding

Unfortunately, lots of drivers do ignore speed limit signs when rushing to their destination – putting themselves and others in danger. And the faster you drive, the shorter reaction time you have to prevent an accident.

Reckless Driving

Changing lanes too quickly and erratically on a motorway or dual carriageway can cause other drivers to brake suddenly, possibly resulting in a crash with a vehicle behind them.

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving includes any combination of traffic offenses that endanger other drivers or property.

Fatigue

Sleepiness, drowsiness, or downright exhaustion can impair a driver's ability to competently respond, react, or discern conditions on the road.

Weather Conditions

Weather conditions can put drivers at a greater risk of being involved in motor vehicle accidents. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) said more than 5.8 million vehicle crashes occur each year based on statistics from 2007 to 2016. We have handled a great number of cases involving accidents in bad weather.
