Answering Your Georgia Personal Injury Questions:
What's the Difference Between a Claim and a Lawsuit? A personal injury claim is typically filed against an insurance company following an accident. This process will be negotiated through a claims adjuster and can sometimes be handled without an attorney. However, in the case of serious injury or monetary damage, having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side can be the key to ensuring you receive proper compensation for your injuries. If your personal injury claim is denied by the insurance company, or they fail to provide you with the compensation that you've asked for, you may pursue a personal injury lawsuit.
What is Georgia's statute of limitations for personal injury cases? If you fail to file a lawsuit within 2 years of your accident, you give up your right to pursue compensation, according to the Georgia Statute of Limitations found in Georgia Code § 9-3-33.
What is the average settlement for personal injury lawsuits? It's impossible to estimate how much you may be eligible to receive for your injury without knowing the details of your accident, as there are several variables that may affect the monetary outcome. If you would like to discuss your situation with us contact our injury lawyers to schedule a free consultation!
Do I have to accept the settlement the insurance company offers me? No! No one can force you to accept a settlement that is being offered (whether by your own insurance company or someone else's). It's very important that you discuss your case with a professional before accepting any settlements, because without having all the facts about your recovery or any permanent damage done, it's impossible to know whether or not you are receiving a fair offer. Don't risk settling without discussing your case with an injury attorney first.
How much will it cost me to hire a lawyer? At Crawford & Brown, we work with each of our clients on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don't get paid unless we successfully resolve your case.Contact us today for more information!
