Police Vehicle Accidents
If you’ve been injured in an accident with a police vehicle, one of the most important things you should know is that the filing deadline may be significantly shorter than what you would find with a typical personal injury car accident claim. Generally in Georgia you have two years from the date of the accident to either file a claim and settle it, or file a lawsuit. With accidents involving police vehicles these deadlines can be significantly shorter because the police vehicle will either belong to the state, the city, or the county. For states and counties, you have one year from the date of the accident to file what is called an Ante Litem Notice. An Ante Litem Notice is simply a notice that is given to the appropriate government agency notifying them of the claim as well as providing other information that may be required by law. For cities, the deadline for submitting the Ante Litem Notice is six months. If these deadlines are missed, you may lose the right to obtain any compensation at all for your injuries. This is why it is very important that if you’re involved in an accident with a police vehicle, you contact an experienced and qualified personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Is It Worth It To Hire An Attorney After An Accident?
Is It Worth It To Hire An Attorney After An Accident?
A common question that I think members of the public have is whether it’s worth it to hire an attorney after an accident. And everybody is looking out for their financial interests when making that determination, and rightfully so. We don’t want our clients to be in a worse-off position for having hired us, we want our clients to benefit from an attorney. I think there’s a number of ways that clients benefit from an attorney. One of those ways is the higher settlement, or if the case goes to trial, certainly, you don’t want to be handling that on your own. So one is just getting a higher number overall. Number two, is having somebody by your side that knows how to navigate the process. It’s hard for a person that doesn’t deal with these types of cases on a daily basis to know if they’re getting fair value. There’s a lot of other nuances too. For example, who pays the medical bills? Does my health insurance pay the medical bills? Does my health insurance have to get paid back? Certain types of health plans do have to be paid back, but it depends on the type of health plan, the language in the health insurance policy, and a variety of factors. Part of it is about getting our clients more money but part of it is also navigating that process to make sure that in addition to the overall number being higher, that the number in their pocket is higher. Clients may think that they have to pay their health insurance back if they don’t. Well if they’re trying to save money by not hiring an attorney, and they pay their insurance company 10, 20, 30 thousand dollars that they were not owed, then that client is going to be worse off. Hiring an attorney makes sure that the client is in the best possible position to get an overall result that is good. The other thing that I think is very important is a lot of people don’t want to deal with a personal injury case on their own. They don’t want to deal with the headaches of it. They’ve had a car accident, they don’t want to worry about getting the medical treatment and making sure that the bills are being paid the right way. They want to go to the doctor and get better, and we’re able to help our clients through that entire process so they can just focus on getting better.

Georgia Car Accident Guide
Georgia Car Accident Guide
Our website includes a free Georgia Car Accident Guide that anybody visiting the site can download and read. And that has some educational material about every aspect of a car accident, including not only the personal injury side, but the property damage side as well. And kind of walks people through the process step-by-step on what to expect. I wrote that so that people would have a great educational resource for when they’re involved in a car accident and can get some of those questions answered, because what I have found in representing people who are car accident victims is they have a lot of questions and they just don’t know what’s gonna go on. And that uncertainty can add to the stress, and so the goal of the Georgia Car Accident Guide is really to remove some of that stress from the uncertainty.
