Why should I call an Atlanta personal injury attorney?

These factors include:

1. Facts of Your Case: Good personal injury cases have facts that answer two important questions: (1) Who was at fault? and (2) What are your damages?
2. Strength of Your Evidence: Good personal injury cases have strong evidence that supports your claim, such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and physical evidence.
3. Nature of Your Injuries: Good personal injury cases involve serious or catastrophic injuries.
4. Experience of Your Attorney: Good personal injury cases are usually backed by an experienced attorney with a track record of success; insurance companies know who these attorneys are and pay them the best personal injury settlements.

An experienced personal injury attorney reviews thousands of personal injury claims. He or she will understand exactly how to identify a good case.

The three most important legal elements of damages include:

• Past and future medical bills
• Past and future lost wages
• Past and future pain, suffering, trauma, and emotional distress

After looking at your damages, attorneys and insurance companies compare your case to recent jury verdicts and settlements from personal injury lawsuits, and consider numerous other variables.

Insurance companies want to pay you the least amount possible. As a result, if you are not represented by a personal injury law firm, the insurance company may offer to pay only your medical bills, plus a small amount for your pain and suffering. Sometimes they offer even less.

On the other hand, statistics show that insurance companies settle for far more when an attorney is involved.

Juries traditionally award the largest amounts of monetary compensation. That is why you want an attorney who has significant personal injury litigation experience on your side.

Ultimately, the personal injury lawyer you hire can make the biggest difference in the value of your case.

The days and weeks after a personal injury accident are critical. To make sure your rights are protected, here are six dos and don'ts every personal injury victim needs to know about:

• Do seek medical care: The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to prove your injuries were caused by the accident.
• Do take pictures: The old saying a "picture is worth a 1,000 words" is true; pictures make or break your case.
• Do report your case promptly: File a report with the police and with your insurance company; otherwise, it is just your word against the other person's.
• Don't give the at-fault person's insurance company a recorded statement: If you do, the at-fault person's insurance company will use it against you.
• Don't sign settlement papers without an attorney: If you sign settlement papers without legal representation, you will give up your most important legal rights.

Your lawyer will secure evidence, interview witnesses, calculate your damages, work with experts, and negotiate with the insurance company.

Serious injuries always require serious legal help. But remember, even minor injuries from an auto accident can get worse and end up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Working with your own legal team gives you an advantage.  It also allows you to protect your rights and to put your focus on healing and your family.
