Car Accident Injury Cases in GeorgiaAtlanta car accident attorneys are a dime a dozen and the difference between an excellent firm and an average one makes all the difference in your case results. Lawyers in this field generally charge the same amount , 33% if a case resolves before a lawsuit is filed and around 40% if the lawsuit is filed. There are some lawyers that will offer cheaper upfront rates, but the reality is you lose money when you work with low cost attorneys. They are cheap because no one else wants to hire them.
Wrongful Death Cases
We wish we lived in a world where insurance companies recognized that it is good business to treat people fairly and to make just offers to settle without the involvement of lawyers. Instead the marching orders from on high are "be combative, stall and you will deter claims." On the other hand, cheesy TV lawyers that make insurance claims sound like a money making operation are just as bad and spoil the justice system for those who have truly suffered a loss. Our firm philosophy is direct;
- Tell you, the client, the good and the bad upfront so that all expectations are met;
- Provide outstanding customer service so you know what is happening with your case and why;
- Work swiftly, because time is money;
- Advise you, the client, of a realistic value of the case and a timeline for when that value can be achieved;
- Use all of our legal experience to destroy frivolous defenses put in place by insurance carriers;
- Get you a just verdict or settlement without resorting to underhanded business practices in claims handling.
It is our job to solve your problem and educate you about the insurance claims and litigation process. We want you asking smart questions so you know you are getting the right answer. Best of all the initial consultation is FREE and we only earn a fee if we settle or try your case to a verdict. There is no upfront cost to you.
