5 Tips for Negotiating a Georgia Car Accident Claim (Part B)

You should always be on high alert when negotiating a Georgia car accident claim. Keep in mind that insurance companies are looking out for the bottom line, not for your best interests when it comes to reaching a settlement in Forest Park. With a car accident attorney handling your Georgia claim, you can have peace of mind that your case will be handled appropriately.

Georgia Car Accident Claim: What You Need to Know

In addition to getting your facts straight and documenting everything, you also should be aware of the following:

Future medical treatment - Future or ongoing treatment includes physical therapy, prescription medication and surgery. If your medical team is certain that your treatment must continue you will need written proof outlining the medical treatment and the costs. Don't count on the insurance adjuster to take the initiative and do this on your behalf. If you fail to provide this documentation, you could risk minimizing the value of your claim.
The law - Some knowledge of Georgia law is needed when negotiating a car accident claim. For example, you should know that Georgia follows a modified comparative fault - 50% rule in negligence cases. This means you are able to recover damages only if your fault in the accident is 49% or less. If you are found to be 50% at fault or more for the accident, you will be entitled to nothing.
The meaning of a settlement - When you reach an agreement and sign on the dotted line it will be too late to change your mind and ask for more money. If your condition changes and you become swamped with more medical bills you may be out of luck.

Legal services may be your best bet after a serious Forest Park car accident. An attorney can help you avoid falling prey to insurance adjusters.
