Client Stories
Case Evaluation Following an accident or injury, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney about the specific circumstances of your case, including: whether your injury is a result of someone else’s negligence, the extent and severity of your injuries, your medical costs, and your legal options. Our team provides free consultations and case evaluations by phone, video call or in-person. You don’t owe us anything unless we win your case, so there is no obligation.
Investigation After you retain us, The Champion Firm gets to work right away. Your team includes an attorney and paralegal. Together they work to investigate your personal injury claim including police reports, medical records, witness statements and more. Our job is to make your life easier! During medical treatment, we also handle requesting medical bills and communicating with insurance companies.
Strategy Every case is unique which means each strategy is also unique and highly customized. Sometimes we may file a lawsuit right away, other times we may wait until medical treatment concludes. In each situation, The Champion Firm team uses our cutting-edge technology, advanced resources and extensive experience to plan each and every step of a client’s case strategy.
Demand Letter A settlement demand letter is a letter that outlines your case, including liability and damages (injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering). The letter is typically sent to the insurance company, or the at-fault party - or both. They will either reject the demand, make a counteroffer or accept it. Putting together a strong, persuasive demand package is critical to a successful, timely result.
Case Settles or Lawsuit is Filed Most of the time, cases settle during the demand negotiation process. However, because we’re dedicated to getting our clients the best possible result, we will take their case to the next step if need be. It is important to work with an attorney experienced in the lawsuit process and fighting for their client no matter what it takes.
Fact Finding & Discovery Once a lawsuit is filed, the case goes into a discovery period. Discovery means that we get to find out information about the defense and evidence we can use to support your claim and the defense gets to find out about your claim. This process includes interrogatories, requests for documents, and depositions. After the exchange of information is complete, the court usually orders mediation prior to the start of a trial.
Mediation Mediation is a dispute resolution process where a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitates a discussion between the parties to a lawsuit in order to promote the voluntary settlement of the case. At most personal injury mediations, you will be in a room with us and the attorney for the defendant will be in a separate room. The mediator will move between the two rooms to try to get both sides to agree on a number for settlement. Many lawsuits resolve at mediation.
Case Settles or Goes to Trial If the case does not resolve during the mediation process, we are headed to trial. Trials start with an opening statement. Then, each party presents evidence and gets a closing argument. After that, the jury makes the decision on whether plaintiff or defendant wins, and if they find for the plaintiff they determine how much to award for damages.
Frequently Asked Personal Injury Questions
What’s Your Case Worth?
Every personal injury case we handle is unique. While the value depends on the facts, you may be entitled to your: Medical expenses (bills now and down the line), Lost income (The wages you missed and will in the future), Property damage (To your vehicle or items you lost), and your Pain and Suffering (The physical and emotional stress you endured).
Go to Trial or Settle?
Most personal injury claims in Atlanta end with a settlement, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare for trial. You should choose an attorney with serious experience in Georgia courts, and who is unafraid of going to trial if that is what your case requires. If an insurance company approaches you with an offer, do not sign anything or accept without having it reviewed. We will assess their offer at no charge and discuss your options.
How Long Do I Have to File?
The statute of limitations in Georgia personal injury cases is normally two years. The sooner you file, the better because you may lose any right to compensation after time expires. If you have questions about this, it’s best to consult an attorney.
