Ask a lawyer, on camera
The same questions come up on almost every intake call. Here are the answers, straight from the attorneys who handle the files.
What should I do after a hit-and-run in Georgia?
Report it to police immediately, canvass for cameras within days, and notify your own carrier: your uninsured motorist coverage is almost always the path to recovery when the other driver flees.
What is my rear-end accident worth?
Value is driven by diagnosis, treatment consistency, permanency and available coverage, not by the size of the dent. A herniated disc with injections and a surgical recommendation is a fundamentally different case from a resolved strain.
Do I have to give a recorded statement to the other insurance company?
No. You have no obligation to give the at-fault driver's insurer a recorded statement, and doing so before your diagnosis is complete usually only helps them build a comparative fault defense.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
Two years for injury and wrongful death, four for property damage, but ante litem notice against a city can be due in six months. The practical deadline is much sooner than the legal one because evidence disappears.
What makes truck accident cases different from car cases?
Federal safety regulations, an electronic data trail that overwrites quickly, multiple liable defendants beyond the driver, and policy limits measured in millions rather than tens of thousands.
What is a spoliation letter and why does it matter?
It is a formal demand that the trucking company preserve logs, ECM data and maintenance records. Without it, evidence a carrier is only required to keep for six months legally disappears.
Will the insurance company blame me just for riding a motorcycle?
Yes, and that bias is the defense strategy. We defeat it with skid analysis, crush geometry and sight-line studies that show the driver turned across a rider who had the right of way.
Who pays after an Uber or Lyft crash?
It depends on app status at impact: offline means the personal policy, waiting for a request means reduced contingent limits, and en route or carrying a passenger triggers up to 1,000,000 in platform coverage.
