When you're recovering from a serious accident, it often affects your ability to drive — whether from a broken leg that will heal or a permanent change to your mobility. It can be frustrating to feel stuck at home when you need to hire a car accident attorney to pursue a claim against the responsible party. We understand, and we'd like to offer several solutions.
Friends or Family
If a friend or family member gives you a ride, they're welcome to wait inside during your appointment. Our office has a comfortable seating area, and most initial consultations take only about half an hour.
Rideshare & Public Transportation
Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft have made it easier and more affordable to get a ride anywhere in the city — you simply order from your smartphone and the nearest driver picks you up. You can also call a taxi, or reach our Marietta office via CobbLinc routes 25 and 30. Look up the schedules and plan your ride.
In-Home & Hospital Visits
We know transportation can be difficult or impossible after a serious injury. If you'd like to work with us and can't drive because of your injuries, just contact us to request a home visit for your initial consultation — we can even visit you in the hospital if you feel up to it.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Whether you come to us or we come to you, it helps to know how your initial consultation works. The purpose of the meeting is to determine whether you have a legitimate personal injury case and whether we'd work well together.
The attorney you meet with will ask you to describe your accident in as much detail as you can remember. We'll also obtain an official copy of the police report to help piece together the exact sequence of events. It helps to bring:
- The names and contact information of any witnesses
- A description of the other vehicle
- Anything that could have been a factor, such as severe weather
You're welcome to ask as many questions as you'd like until you feel comfortable that we have the experience to represent you.
