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

Georgia Personal Injury Claim Advice and Tips (part B)

Gathering Evidence

The success of your Georgia personal injury claim hinges on the evidence you can gather to show the other party's fault and the extent of your injuries.

To most efficiently gather evidence, you'll want to:

Get as many details of the accident as possible including names and numbers of any witnesses to the accident;
Take pictures of the damaged vehicle(s), any injuries, and skid marks;
Contact a Fayetteville personal injury attorney to explore your legal options and protect your rights; and
Write down the insurance details of any other person or vehicle involved in the accident.

During the Georgia Personal Injury Claims Process

Some of the things you'll want to do during the injury claims process include:

Be cautious when your insurance company wants a recorded statement. As part of insurance contracts you are typically required to provide recorded statements, but you may want to contact a Fayetteville personal injury attorney first to make sure you are properly prepared to make an official statement and no one is able to put words in your mouth with creative questioning.
Take notes during conversations and keep track of the dealings with the insurance claims adjuster and others involved in the Georgia personal injury claim process.
Get a copy of the accident report, which should be ready 3 to 5 days after the crash.
Keep all receipts for any and all expenses related to the accident, including but not limited to bills for any repair work and any medical expenses associated with your injuries.
Be honest with the insurance claims adjuster so that your Georgia personal injury claim is not denied based on suspicion of fraud.
Check all your insurance policies to see if more than one provides coverage for your accident or injury.
Make sure you have read your insurance policy and understand it, so you are prepared to file a Georgia personal injury claim and speak with the insurance claims adjuster.

While these are some tips that may help your personal injury claim, there are a number of other things you should and should not do throughout the process, such as signing waivers or documents without understanding the ramifications and taking everything the insurance adjuster tells you as truth.

To be sure of how to best proceed and to make sure you don't inadvertently damage your claim, a Fayetteville personal injury attorney can help with each stage of your case.
