When Should I Contact A Car Accident Lawyer

When should you contact a personal injury lawyer after
a car accident in Georgia? Keep watching this video to
find out the number one reason you should contact a lawyer within
the first 30 days of a car accident. Hi, Im Ted Spaulding. Im an Atlanta
Personal Injury Trial lawyer here with a law firm
at Boling Rice. Again, the answer really is
within the first 30 days you ought to contact a
personal injury lawyer.

Quite frankly it would be good to do
so within the first several days. It does not mean that you need
to hire a lawyer at that point. Quite frankly when we
get calls that early probably about half of those
calls we end up telling folks because of the situation or the
injuries at that point that you dont need to hire us just yet.
Lets see how things progress but we give the client some
of the tools they need to fully protect their rights
as if they have a lawyer. The number one reason is as follows.

You want to make sure that you
contact all insurance companies to put them on notice. In Georgia, if you dont put an
insurance company on notice most particularly your
insurance company you could lose your rights
under the policy down the road to have insurance proceeds applied to
your injury case to compensate you. We always tell folks you need
to get to someone quickly so that you can learn where to look
for different insurance policies. Theres a lot of unique areas depending
on relatives that live with you, cars involved being covered by
multiple insurance companies, those sorts of things that
you want to make sure that you know who
exactly is at fault, get contact with all of
their insurance companies, your auto coverage, resident
relatives is the name of the statute that live in your home.

Policies
that they have in their vehicles will likely apply to your injury case. That is the number one reason
you want to contact a lawyer. You do not want to have a
situation where you wait until you realize a year later that
your injuries are very severe, treatment has cost a ton of money to
then get to a lawyer who tells you oh, you didnt put your insurance
company on notice, this, that and this. You dont have that extra coverage for
what ended up being a very large claim.
