Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a Vine City personal injury lawyer?
↓
You owe nothing to get started. Under our contingency fee arrangement, the fee comes from a recovery. Clients may still be responsible for case costs and expenses regardless of the outcome.
I was hit while walking to a game or concert. Who is responsible?
↓
The driver may be responsible. Drivers generally must yield to pedestrians who are lawfully in a crosswalk, even in heavy event traffic, and footage from nearby cameras can show what happened. Contact a lawyer soon, because camera systems often record over old footage.
Is the driver's employer responsible too?
↓
It can be. If the driver was working at the time, for example, making a delivery or driving for a company, the employer may also be legally responsible. That can add another insurance policy to your claim.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
↓
Georgia's general deadline for an injury lawsuit is two years. Claims against a city, county, or state agency require written notice to the government much sooner.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
↓
Talk to a lawyer first. A first offer usually comes before your doctors know the full extent of your injuries, and accepting it typically means signing away any further claim.
