Compensation for Car Wreck Injuries

In general terms, a person injured in a car accident in Athens or any other city in Georgia, may bring file a civil action in the county where the defendant resides. If the at fault driver is from another state, the case may be filed in county where the crash occurred. Usually, the injured accident victim’s attorney also sets up an insurance claim with the defendant's liability insurance carrier and also sends them a copy of the complaint and further serves a copy of the civil action complaint on the his uninsured insurance carrier.

If your case does not settle because the insurance company adjuster is low-balling, then we will file a civil action in the appropriate venue. In some cases, we have to file suit immediately, even before we can begin negotiating with the insurance company. Typically, this will happen if the statute of limitations is near or if there is a question as to which party is legally responsible for the collision or injury causing event. Immediately seeking medical care and then immediately following up with an attorney is often the best course of action.

Civil law suits involving car accidents can be relatively straight forward or they can become complex. Hiring a skilled and experienced Athens car accident injury attorney who has in depth knowledge of motor vehicle collisions and accidents will put your case in the best possible position to obtaining a fair settlement or jury verdict.

Underinsured & Uninsured Defendant Drivers

Many negligent car operators simply “get legal for less” by carrying the minimal $25,000 liability insurance policy. Others simply ignore Georgia car insurance requirements, or cannot afford proper car insurance, or are illegal aliens who are unlicensed and thus cannot get insurance or simply don't care. Georgia Uninsured Motorist car accident coverage usually pays for injuries that result from a car wreck or car collision with the negligent car operator who has no or does not have enough car accident liability coverage.

Your own underinsured motorist coverage pays for your injury claims caused by a car wreck where the at-fault driver has either no liability insurance or has liability insurance with limits of cove rage that are lower than your underinsured motorist policy limit. If you have been involved in an Athens, Georgia car accident, or a car wreck in another Georgia city, with a non-insured or an underinsured vehicle, it is critical to contact McAleer Law.
