Georgia Accident and Injury Lawyer: Do You Need a Georgia Lawyer?

More Articles & Videos about Accident & Injury Law

Do I need a lawyer after a car accident? A comparison might be to a situation when you are deciding if you need a plumber. If you have a leaky faucet, you maybe able to handle this on your own. However, if your septic tank has overflowed into your yard, you probably require a plumber to fix the problem. Similarly, if you are in a very minor car accident with no injuries and very minimaldamage to your car, you may not need the services of a Georgia Accident Lawyer. However, if the accident was more serious and there are injuries involved, you might want to consider at least talking to a lawyer.

There are 3 things that a Georgia Accident and Injury Lawyer brings to the table:

1. Leverage: The insurance company has full time professionals working for their interests. If you hire a lawyer, the insurance company knows you have someone on your side. They know you have someone involved who knows the system and is able to file a lawsuit if the insurance company is not willing to be reasonable.

2. Organization: Your Injury Attorney should know your case backwards and forwards so that when they speak to the insurance adjuster, judge or jury, that the lawyer knows the case and can effectively advocate.  At Breakfield & Associates, Attorneys,we make every effort to know our client’s case thoroughly.

3. Medical Bills and Medical Liens: Medical providers and health insurance companies make every effort to go after a settlement or verdict in a personal injury case, even if insurance has already covered the bill. It is important to have a lawyer that understands the law on medical liens and who can fight to protect your final verdict or settlement. Likewise, a Knowledgeable Personal Injury Attorney can try to negotiate medical bills down to maximize settlement or verdict funds.
