Helping Georgia Car Accident Victims

Serious car accidents occur every day on South Georgia roadways like Interstate 95, Highway 17, state Route 25, highways 5, 82, 84, 99, 301, and 341, the F.J. Torras Causeway, and state Route 520, to name a few. If you have been injured by a drunk driver or in another type of car wreck or truck accident, you may be unsure of what your rights are in this situation.

You may be wondering:

• How to choose the right doctor for your specific injury
• How you will meet your transportation needs if your vehicle was totaled
• How you will pay for costly medical bills incurred from your accident injuries
• How you will pay your bills since you have lost wages

Whatever your situation, I am available to help answer these questions and offer our guidance through every step of the legal process. I offer assistance to those in Brunswick and surrounding Georgia communities. My ultimate goal is to do what is necessary to get you better and then help you get the full compensation you deserve.

One of the primary objectives in investigating traffic crashes is to obtain information that can be used to develop crash prevention and injury mitigation programs. The Georgia Motor Vehicle Crash Report is the primary source document for the data that is used to build the Georgia Electronic Crash Reporting System (GEARS). As a result of these investigations, the Traffic Records Coordinating Committee Task Team working with the Georgia Public Safety Training Center has developed an instruction manual to serve as the primary guidance for completing the most recent approved crash report. For example, when submitting a crash report, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:

• The overlay does not need to be submitted to the Department of Transportation.
• Submit the original crash report within three business days to the Department of Transportation.
• The report can be typed, computer-generated or hand-written in ink. Print if you use an ink pen.
• Any time a code is used for other, it must be explained in the Narrative section.
• Keep in mind that the department is scanning all paper reports for accuracy, completeness, and legibility. You and the department will have a record that can be used in civil or criminal proceedings weeks, months, or even years later. Lastly, images of paper reports are retained by the GDOT for ten years as per Retention Policy.

Experienced Car Accident Lawyer Fighting Insurance Companies

Dealing with car insurance companies is not easy. Insurance adjusters are in business to try to pay out as little as possible. This is how they make money and get their big bonuses.

Many will often:

• Deny or delay rightful claims
• Attempt to get car accident injury victims to sign settlements that are small and less than what they deserve
• Tell victims that they “don’t need a lawyer” or discourage injured parties from contacting one
• Lie about what you are entitled to

I have extensive expertise dealing with insurance adjusters and insurance companies. Prior to helping individuals in private practice, I was an insurance defense attorney, representing the very same insurance companies I now sue. I have the insight and understand how the insurance industry works. Let me use this knowledge to help you get what you deserve.

Georgia Uninsured Motorist Insurance Coverage

Unfortunately, many bad drivers fail to carry the mandatory insurance liabilities as required by Georgia law. The good news is most automobile accident victims have what is called uninsured motorist coverage, which protects them in these unfortunate circumstances.

There is also something called “underinsured motorist coverage” that can help even when the at-fault driver has some — but not enough — liability coverage. These types of coverage and their interplay with each other can be tricky. Let me investigate them for you.
