How a Collier Heights, Atlanta, Car Accident Lawyer Helps Your Case

The insurance company on the other side of your claim has adjusters working to reduce what it pays almost as soon as the crash is reported. A Collier Heights, Atlanta, car accident lawyer starts working for you just as quickly. We gather the proof of what happened, work out what your injuries have cost and will cost, and take over the conversations with the insurers.

That work typically covers:

Pulling together the police report, nearby security or dashcam video, and contact information for witnesses

Documenting your injuries and future treatment with the doctors caring for you

Taking the case to a jury if the insurer will not make a fair offer

Where Injuries Happen in Collier Heights

The neighborhood is made up mostly of mid-century brick homes, and it is bounded by major roads: Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway to the north, Hamilton E. Holmes Drive to the east, and I-20 to the south. Locations tied to injuries include:

Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway:

This is the main commercial corridor on the neighborhood's northern edge. Drivers, bus riders, and pedestrians use this stretch of road together.

I-20 near the I-285 interchange:

I-20 forms the neighborhood's southern edge, and the I-285 interchange is near its southwest corner. An I-20 west accident lawyer investigates crashes along this stretch of interstate.

Truck traffic at the interchange:

Tractor-trailers use this interchange to move between I-20 and I-285. A truck accident lawyer takes on cases in which a commercial truck strikes a passenger vehicle.

Martin Luther King Jr. Drive:

This corridor passes just south of the neighborhood, across I-20. An MLK Jr. Dr. car accident attorney represents people injured in crashes along it.

Critical injuries in the area are treated at Grady Memorial Hospital, a Level I trauma center about six miles east of the neighborhood.

Working With The McPhillip Firm

The McPhillip Firm, P.C., prepares each case on the assumption that it may go before a jury. A crash can lead to a long dispute about who was responsible and what the injuries will cost. When an insurer knows we are ready for court, it has more reason to offer a fair amount. Sean McPhillip and the team accept a limited number of cases, so each client works with them directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
↓
You pay nothing to start. We work on a contingency fee basis, and our fee is paid only from a recovery. Clients may still be responsible for case costs and expenses regardless of the outcome.
What if a commercial truck hit me near the I-20 and I-285 interchange?
↓
Truck crashes are governed by federal safety rules, and many trucks record data such as speed and braking. That data can be overwritten, so a lawyer should send the trucking company a preservation letter quickly. The driver, the trucking company, or another party may share responsibility.
Can my family bring a claim if a crash was fatal?
↓
Yes. Georgia law lets certain relatives bring a wrongful death claim. The right belongs first to a surviving spouse, then to the children if there is no spouse, and then to the parents. If none of them survive, the estate's representative brings the claim. These cases have their own rules, so talk with a lawyer early.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
↓
Most injury lawsuits in Georgia must be filed within two years. A wrongful death claim generally must be filed within two years of the death, and claims against a government agency require formal notice much sooner.
The other driver's insurer offered me money. Should I accept?
↓
Have a lawyer read the offer before you respond. An early offer is often made before the full cost of your treatment is known. A signed release closes the claim permanently, even if your injuries worsen.
