Step By Step Guide To Filing A Personal Injury Claim In Panthersville Georgia

You may have heard of “at-fault” insurance claims. In Georgia, the party who is responsible for the accident pays for the other party’s injuries. However, Georgia courts also follow a modified comparative negligence rule when determining fault. This means that if you are partially responsible for your accident, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 50% or more at fault, your claim may be denied. It’s important to follow these steps carefully.

File your insurance claim with the other party’s insurance company. Be sure you include all required forms and supporting documents. Most claims are denied or returned because of incomplete forms or missing documentation.
If there is another party involved in the accident, they file a claim with your insurer.
The insurance company investigates the claim to determine the degree of fault. The insurance agent may contact you for additional information about your case.
Once the companies reach a determination of fault on both sides, they make a payment offer. They can deny the claim, or request more information from both parties.
You may accept the offer if you think it is a fair one or appeal it if you think it is unfair.

Sometimes there are intermediate steps. If you are seriously injured and your treatment or rehabilitation takes time, the payment may be delayed until you reach “maximum medical improvement.” This is when your doctor feels no further medical treatment will benefit you. If you need long-term care, your doctor may recommend in-home care or therapy.

Protecting Your Rights Against Insurance Companies In Panthersville

Insurance companies are not your friends after an accident. Even your own insurer wants to minimize the amount of your payment. The Millar Law Firm is here to ensure that doesn’t happen to you.

An attorney acts as a buffer between you and the insurance agent. We take all the phone calls and review all the paperwork and settlement offers. We also see to it that your claim includes everything you’re entitled to receive. Your insurance settlement should include:

Economic damages: lost wages, medical bills, and future lost income
Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of consortium
Punitive damages if your case allows them.

The Millar Law Firm will not accept a settlement until you agree on the amount. We let you know if we think the amount is fair or not. If the case goes to trial, we always have the facts we need to get the best possible outcome for you. Insurance companies and their attorneys know we have the skills we need to fight and win your case.

FAQs From Panthersville Residents

Can I file a claim against an out of state driver’s insurance company in Panthersville?

Yes, you can file a claim against an out of state driver’s insurance company. The only requirement is that the other insurance company have “sufficient contacts” within the state of Georgia. In practice, most auto insurance companies are nationwide, and can handle claims from any driver in any state.

Can a personal injury attorney speed up the timeline to receive my insurance check in Panthersville?

Maybe. The time it takes to get your insurance claim check depends on some factors beyond your attorney’s control. Medical reports, witness statements, and other documentation are necessary for your claim, and your attorney has limited ability to get these faster than the parties will deliver them. However, your attorney can prevent the insurers from dragging their feet over your claim and negotiating in bad faith.

Can I claim compensation if an accident in Panthersville caused partial or total hearing loss?

To claim compensation for a partial or total hearing loss, you’ll need to show the accident was responsible for the damage. If the hearing loss was work-related, you can file a worker’s compensation claim. Otherwise, you can file a personal injury claim. Your attorney will need to prove the injury was caused by another person’s negligence or carelessness. Proving hearing loss may require expert testimony and medical evidence.

How do you prove that a labral tear was caused by an accident in Panthersville?

A “labral tear” is damage to the cartilage surrounding the hip or shoulder joint. Labral tears can occur through repetitive motions, arthritis, and trauma. Proving your damage was caused by an accident requires detailed medical testimony. It is important you see a doctor immediately after an accident, especially if you already have underlying hip or shoulder injuries. A doctor’s report immediately after an accident can help prove that any additional damage was due to the accident and not due to the existing issue.

What evidence do I need to prove my rib injury was caused by an accident in Georgia?

Rib injuries range from minor bruising to multiple fractures of two or more ribs known as “flail chest.” Rib injuries are difficult to treat because ribs cannot be completely stabilized while they heal. Serious rib injuries can lead to pneumonia because bruising and swelling may result in fluid leaking into the lung tissue.

To prove your rib injury was caused by an accident, it is essential to be evaluated by a doctor or ER after an accident. You will need X-rays and CT scans or MRIs of the affected area, and medical reports detailing the doctor’s findings. Reports from the scene help your attorney explain the “mechanism of injury,” that is, how you suffered the trauma. For instance, a bruised sternum (breastbone) and ribs suggest you were compressed by your car seat and seatbelt in a high-speed impact.
