Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

Re: rear ended in atlanta

Insurance companies will always take advantage of an unrepresented person, and it is rather likely that even after deducting attorneys fees you will receive less on your own than you would with counsel, although no one can evaluate the case without more information. It is very rare for an insurer to pay an unrepresented person adequately.

In the meantime, it is VERY important that you give no statements to the insurer at all.

My office is experienced in such matters. If you would like our assistance, there is no charge for the initial visit, and as a general rule we only charge fees as a percentage of any recovery. Feel free to call me and we can determine what you should do in your case.

Time is very critical in these cases, and a delay can impair your rights or prevent you from any settlement at all.

That amount may or may not be reasonable. However, it does not even look like you know the extent of the discomfort so no one else can guess. If it all goes away in a couple days, you may very well be ahead by settling for actual damages to the car (incluing diminution in value) and all medical bills, as opposed to getting a higher number and giving 40% to the lawyer. There is no way to speculate.
