Car Accidents / Automobile Accidents

In our busy lives, we often slip into “auto-pilot”: drop the kids off at school, drive to work, stop off at the bank, pick the kids up from practice, arrive home quickly enough to have dinner at a decent time. Day in and day out, we are constantly on the go, often never leaving the 15 mile area where we live. Sometimes we want an interruption of our daily routine, but we never wish for an unexpected and dangerous accident. Automobile accidents do happen, though, and they happen more often than we think. More than six million car accidents occur yearly in the United States, with more than three million people sustaining injuries. Those numbers are staggering, but an even more frightening is that 2 million of the injuries are permanent and over 40,000 people die each year in automobile accidents. The statistics are mind-boggling; however, the impact of each individual incident on its victim cannot be reflected in statistics. The agony of physical injury and the stress of dealing with insurance companies, medical costs and lost income aren’t easily measured with statistics, yet if you have been a victim of an automobile accident, you know exactly how difficult the aftermath is. Jason R. Schultz understands, too. For 16 years, he has been helping people critically injured in automobile accidents in Metropolitan Atlanta and throughout Georgia. The Law Firm of Jason R. Schultz, P.C. has remained small enough over those 16 years to allow Jason the ability to provide personalized counsel and expert representation for the recovery of compensatory damages for those injured by the negligence of another.

Mr. Schultz knows that you entered into a good faith contract with your insurance company, and his years of litigation experience has shown him that insurance companies don’t always act in good faith when they are in the position to compensate you, which is grounds for legal action. Jason will aggressively pursue compensation if your insurance adjuster doesn’t offer a settlement that fully covers your losses, including vehicle damage, rental car costs, diminished value, medical bills, lost wages, and physical and emotion pain and suffering. And while insurance claims cover immediate losses caused by automobile accidents, settlements don’t cover damages caused by permanent disability. Jason is well aware of the lifelong financial burdens associated with brain and spinal cord injuries as well as the loss of a loved one, and he is dedicated to fighting for the compensation you deserve after sustaining such injury due to the negligence of another driver. When only one driver is at fault in an automobile accident, the law is clear – the person whose carelessness caused the accident is liable. Car accidents aren’t always so cut and dry, and Georgia’s Proportional Comparative Fault law allows for an injured person who is less that 50% at fault in an accident to sue for damages. If you know that your injury was due to another driver’s carelessness, then let Jason use his expertise in the courtroom to recover compensation for your injuries.

Sometimes people unknowingly suffer serious injuries due to roadway construction design flaws or defects and/or a failure to maintain a street, road, or highway.  Road shoulder drop off causing a loss of control, water pooling which causes hydroplaning, failure to install guardrails or improper placement of guardrails that increases damage and injuries are but a few of the many types of roadway defects that Jason Schultz has handled.  Government agencies, such as cities, counties and the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT)  frequently claim immunity for its actions or for the actions of the engineers, contractors and roadway designers.  It is vitally important that you consult with an experienced attorney as quickly as possible so that  evidence can be preserved to prove the defect or failure to maintain.

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured or killed in an automobile accident due to the negligence of someone else, contact The Law Offices of Jason R. Schultz P.C. at (404) 474-0804 extension 106 or email Jason Schultz at jason@jasonschultzpc.com for a consultation. Don’t take on insurance companies, medical bills, and lost wages by yourself; allow Jason to help you fight for your rights as an injured person. For 16 years, The Law Offices of Jason Schultz P.C. has been recovering compensation for clients in Atlanta, Tyrone, Stockbridge, Senoia, Roswell, Peachtree City, Newman, McDonough, Marietta, Lawrenceville, LaGrange, Jonesboro, Griffin, Fayetteville, Douglasville, Decatur, and Conyers as well as the counties of Rockdale, Douglas, Gwinnett, Spalding, Cobb, Henry, Dekalb, Fulton, Clayton, Troup, Carroll, Fayette, and Coweta. The Law Offices of Jason Schultz P.C. – Small Enough to Care, Experienced Enough to Win.

FAQs

Car Accidents / Automobile Accidents

I just picked up my car from the body shop and noticed that the replaced rear window was an aftermarket window and not the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part.  I asked the body shop about it and they said that the insurance company would not approve the OEM part.  Can I make the insurance company pay for the OEM part and get that placed on my car?

...

I didn't see a doctor for five months after the accident. Now, the insurance company is saying there is a time limit to see a doctor and they won't pay me. Is this true? Is there a time limit to see a doctor?

...

I have been in a car accident and my doctor [hospital, chiropractor, fill in the _____] does not want me to submit my bills to my health insurance company. Is this a good idea?
