Why Hire a Motor Vehicle Lawyer?
Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible with claims. Thus, thousands of dollars are often left on the table in car accident claims. Personal injury lawyers make sure you receive what you are entitled to under the law. They also make your case as strong as possible, and they ensure you are protected against legal claims, too.
Georgia is an At-Fault State
Georgia is an at-fault state, meaning that the person who is at fault in the motor vehicle accident is liable for the damage for anyone injured in the car accident. These damages include:
- Medical bills from injuries sustained during the car accident
- Cost to repair your vehicle
- Pain and suffering from injuries caused by the car accident
- Lost wages if you have to miss work due to the car accident
The benefit of having car insurance is that your car insurance company pays for all of these costs, which is what your premiums every month are for, as long as they don't exceed their limits. However, if you are taken to court, you may have expenses out of pocket. This is usually only for very serious car accidents that result in death.
In the event that both parties are found partially at fault for the car accident, you are only responsible for the percentage of fault that you hold in the accident, as long as it is less than 50%.
What Happens if You Get in a Car Accident?
Any type of car accident is shocking because it is unexpected. After a car accident there are some steps you should take.
The Steps to Take After a Car Accident
Make Sure Everyone is Okay
- You want to make sure everyone is okay. If people are injured, call 911.
- Call the police. Sometimes they won't come out if there are no serious injuries, but insurance companies like police reports.
- Tell the facts about what happened to the police officer.
- Document the scene thoroughly with pictures. It's a good idea to photograph the cars' damage and people's injuries, too, if allowed.
- Exchange insurance information with the other drivers. Never admit fault and say as little as possible.
- Gather information from witnesses if possible.
- Call your insurance company as soon as possible to let them know you will be putting in a claim.
- Make a medical appointment to ensure you have no injuries, even if you feel fine. Many people don't feel pain until a few days later.
