Appropriately Filing a Personal Injury Claim
If you decide to pursue a personal injury lawsuit, you may only have to file one suit. Even filing just one suit might require help from an attorney to ensure you complete the appropriate steps in the correct order to secure your fair compensation.
Because Georgia uses modified comparative negligence laws, if your percentage of fault was more than 50 percent you may not be able to recover any monies. Many drivers feel this is unfair and so consult with a car accident attorney to find out if they can challenge this determination.
Understanding liability of all parties in an auto accident and how it can impact the claims process depends on whether someone files directly with the insurance companies or pursues legal action. It may be in the person’s best interest to first seek advice from an attorney. Jason R. Schultz can help. Call (404) 474-0804.
