If you are hurt or injured in an automobile accident, truck accident, slip and fall accident, or through other means, as a result of someone else’s negligent or reckless conduct, you may be entitled to recover money damages from the person or persons who caused your injury. It is absolutely necessary that you get a copy of your accident report, incident report and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses to your personal injury.

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 responsible person or persons.

The value of your personal injury claim is dependent upon many factors, including the seriousness of your injuries, amount of medical bills incurred, 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 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 a personal injury claim arises. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that you seek the advice of an experienced personal injury trial lawyer who can review your case, evaluate it, and then give you a clear and concise opinion of what your case may be worth and what future steps are necessary to protect your rights.
