FAQS

FAQs About Legal Services in Gainesville, GA

WHEN SHOULD I CALL A LAWYER AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT?

You will want to call a lawyer before having any substantive conversations about the car accident with any insurance company. It is strongly recommended that you call an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as you have received treatment for your immediate injuries, and it is safe to do so.

Talking to a lawyer will help you make better, more informed decisions about what to do after a car accident. It is never too soon to call a lawyer, as they will tell you exactly what you need to record and document for your case to make sure you are protected against the big insurance companies.

WHAT DAMAGES ARE AVAILABLE IN A PERSONAL INJURY CASE?

In Georgia, there are three different types of damages that you can be awarded in a personal injury case. There are special damages, also known as economic damages, which are the direct and indirect financial costs that you sustained from the accident. General damages are awarded on a non-economic basis and can be awarded on the basis of pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and other factors. Punitive damages are used for punishing defendants for reckless conduct.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SETTLE A CLAIM?

It depends on how you decide to proceed. It may be preferable for you to settle out of court, in which your claim could go through in a few short months. However, if you decide to take your matter to court, or if your claim involves more complex legal or factual issues, it could take a longer time before you’re able to resolve your claim.
