How to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia (Part B)

When a Georgia Accident Results in Disfigurement (Part B)

Filing a Georgia Personal Injury Claim

To claim compensation after a car accident in Georgia, you will have to file your claim with the responsible insurer. Once your claim has been filed, an insurance adjuster will be sent to assess the value of your damages.

When conducting their assessment, an insurance adjuster will consider:

the evidence in your case, such as the police report, the testimony of witnesses and photographs of the accident scene;
the medical care that you have received and the costs of future medical care;
your recovery from your injuries or any lack thereof;
any permanent disfigurement or disability; and
your ability to return to work and lead your life as you did before.

If after these considerations an insurance adjuster refuses you the money you deserve, you should get the help of an experienced Georgia personal injury lawyer. In such a case, your Georgia personal injury lawyer may attempt to negotiate with the insurer. If an acceptable settlement cannot be negotiated, you may choose to pursue damages in a formal court of law.

In a personal injury lawsuit, your Georgia personal injury lawyer can represent your legal interests. To recover damages in court, your lawyer will have to show that you were the victim of someone else's negligence. Your lawyer must also show that you have suffered damages, as well as show the value of those damages.

In a personal injury lawsuit, your Georgia personal injury lawyer can:

present the evidence that has been gathered in your case;
submit the testimonies of experts, such as traffic investigators, medical professionals, therapists and emotional counselors; and
do their best to help you get the money that you deserve.
