FAQ: What Should I Do if I’ve Been Injured in an Auto Accident?

Depending on the severity of the auto accident, a driver may be facing substantial injury or loss of function. Recovering from the injuries, coping with any financial liabilities, and adjusting your daily activities afterward can be very difficult, but there is help. A qualified Marietta auto accident lawyer can mitigate some of these issues, handling the legal process and working to make sure you receive every dollar of compensation owed to you.

If you’ve been in a car accident, our lawyers advise that you:

1 Get a medical examination: The first thing you should do is get a medical examination. This will let you know exactly what physical injuries you may be dealing with, and how your life may be impacted by the incident. Keep track of all medical details, fees, and obligations your doctors may require.
2 Collect Evidence: If your case goes to court, you’re going to need as much evidence as possible to help back your case. Take as many photos and collect as much physical evidence of the accident as you can, so you’re prepared. Remember, we can help with this process with our team of investigators, so call us early.
3 Find appropriate legal representation: Before you do anything else, you will need to contact an auto accident attorney that is equipped to handle the ensuing legal process. They will be your most trusted resource as you navigate the legal proceedings that are to come.
4 File a claim with your lawyer: If you have been injured in a car accident, you need to take prompt action to protect your legal rights. Keep in mind that the state of Georgia places a time limit on filing a claim in civil court after an auto accident, so it’s important that you and your car accident lawyer move quickly.

What Happens After a Car Accident in Marietta, Georgia?

Police will follow their department’s standard law enforcement protocols, including documenting the events that led to the auto accident. They will attempt to determine who was at fault. A police report is usually filled out at the location of the accident.

Your personal injury lawyer will review the accident report. Your attorney may then decide to hire an independent expert to perform an analysis of all relevant facts of the auto accident.

The expert will then examine the crash site as well as the remaining pieces of all vehicles involved in the accident. The expert will then present a professional assessment of what occurred in the accident and a conclusion on the cause.

Your attorney will prepare a compensation claim for you, based upon the findings in the independent expert’s accident analysis.

TESTIMONIALS

What our clients are saying:

“MY FIRST AND ONLY PHONE CALL”

BRANDALL S.

To anyone reading this review I would like to say Jonathan Smith and Morrison & Hughes really helped me out when I needed it. I was going through a rough time with my injury and they were very helpful very informational and very concerning to my situation and after working with them and Jonathan Smith if I ever had another personal injury case or anything that they would represent they would be my first and only phone call. Thank you Jonathan Smith and Morrison & Hughes.

“MY ANGEL FROM GOD”

JENNIFER A.

First off I just want to start by saying Paul Jenkins saved my life. I am married with kids and used to work for IBM but I got sick. Going from 2 incomes to just 1 was incredibly hard and I didn’t know how much longer we were going to make it. Well I just so happen to google disability lawyers and called the law firm. Then my angel from God (I know dramatic) Paul Jenkins took my case. If I wouldn’t have had him as a lawyer I really don’t think I would have won. Our first conversation on the phone was for 1 hour and he gave me so much information. We met a couple of times after that. Well about 6 months later we got our court date and 2 days before the court date he started prepping me. We spoke for 4 hours over 2 days and I was totally prepared to go into court. I was ready for any question that the judge or Paul had for me. I just got word that my case was approved. Thank you Paul. You were amazing.
