Filing a Georgia Personal Injury Claim After a DUI Accident

If you have been injured in a Georgia DUI accident you may be eligible for damages in a personal injury claim. To file a claim, you should get the help of an experienced Clayton personal injury attorney. An attorney can help you recognize and respond to the tactics often employed by the insurance industry in the negotiation of a personal injury claim.

Insurance companies and the insurance adjusters they employ are interested in protecting the company's bottom line. What that means for you is that they may use some less-than-forthcoming strategies as they attempt to settle your claim.

These trademark insurance tactics include: 

• undervaluing your injuries;
• delaying an investigation; and/or
• attempting to use your own statements against you. 

An experienced Clayton personal injury attorney will be well aware of these insurance industry tricks and can formulate an effective response to such actions. Your attorney can also help you to focus on the most important task at hand; fighting for fair compensation in your claim.

In a Georgia personal injury claim, you may be eligible for damages such as: 

• the cost of your medical expenses;
• any physical or emotional pain that you suffered; and
• any wages that may have been lost as a result of the Clayton DUI accident. 

If the insurance company refuses to settle, or offers an unfair compensation package, you may have to file a Georgia personal injury lawsuit in which your Clayton personal injury attorney can represent your interests.
