Automobile
accidents are one of the most frequent causes of serious injury and harm
to the general public. If you are hurt or injured in an automobile
accident, as a result of someone else’s negligent or reckless conduct, you
may be entitled to recover money damages from the person or company who
caused your injury. It is absolutely necessary that you get a copy of your
accident report, incident report, the names, addresses and telephone
numbers of any witnesses, and copies of photographs of the vehicles
involved in the accident.
Tennessee and Georgia law both provide that you are entitled to recover
certain money damages that arise out of your personal injury. This would
include medical bills incurred for the treatment of your injury, pain, and
suffering caused by the injury, mental anguish, lost wages from work, lost
future earnings, and possibly punitive damages to punish the persons
responsible for causing your injuries.
The value of your personal injury claim is dependent upon many factors,
including the seriousness of your injuries, the amount of medical bills
incurred, the amount of lost wages, and the percentage of permanent
injury, if any, that you have sustained as a result of your personal
injury.
There are numerous legal requirements that must be followed to pursue
your automobile accident claim. There are also certain time limits within
which you must file your claim for personal injury or it is barred. There
are a number of questions that the average person does not know how to
answer. For example, should you give a recorded statement to the insurance
adjuster? Should you sign a release of your claim for payment of medical
bills only? When should you file a claim or lawsuit?
Insurance companies have an army of investigators and attorneys who are
immediately called upon when an automobile accident claim arises.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that you seek the advice of an
experienced automobile accident trial lawyer who can review your case,
evaluate it, and give you a clear and concise evaluation of what your case
is worth and what future steps are necessary to protect your rights.
