What is the most important thing that you and your Milledgeville car accident attorney must do after a car wreck?

• Preserve and document necessary evidence to establish causation of the accident. We prepare cases as though they will proceed to trial, and most jurors expect to see photos and, if possible, videos of the scene and crash. There may have been a time when it was enough for a witness to merely say what transpired in an accident. We do not leave anything to chance when it comes to evidence that may be used to prove liability and causation in car accident cases. This means that we usually:
  • Visit and photograph the scene soon after the wreck;
  • Interview all known accident witnesses;
  • Obtain street-level video footage where possible;
  • Learn whether any third-party witnesses were driving vehicles equipped with video cameras; and
  • Photograph all vehicles involved.
• Get the highest/best level of treatment possible. Many personal injury claims are hurt by virtue of the client seeking medical care that is not appropriate for the injuries that they have sustained. For example, if you have suffered a traumatic injury to your spine, seeing a chiropractor for 2 months after your accident will likely not positively impact your case. We understand that incurring medical bills is a tremendous source of stress for many of our clients, but we can help you understand how the bills will be paid and how to be compensated for your pain and suffering. If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, consult with your injury attorney about the appropriate type of specialist to see for your care.

• Place known insurers on notice of the claim against the policy issued by them. Often times, insurers try to avoid or escape liability for based upon the failure of their insured (the person or corporation that caused your injury) to follow a condition of their insurance policy. Insurance policies have conditions in this that are called conditions precedent, and if an insured fails to meet the conditions precedent to coverage, the insurer may attempt to avoid being responsible for your damages. One of the conditions precedent to insurance coverage being available for an incident and injuries is that the insured (the person or corporation that caused your injury) must give the insurer notice of the occurrence that caused your injury. This is the first part in establishing an insurance claim. We work to make sure that all possible insurers have notice of your injuries so that the insurer cannot later claim a lack of notice to avoid liability for your damages. Do not let a simple mistake (that no non-lawyer would be aware of) allow an auto insurance company avoid responsibility. Also, it is critical that insurance claims be established against the other driver’s insurance carrier and your own uninsured motorist carriers.

What is the statute of limitations to bring a claim for injuries arising from a car wreck?

A lawsuit against a private individual or a corporation that caused personal injuries or wrongful death in an auto- or truck accident must be brought within 2 years from the date of the accident. It is important to recognize that are anti litem (pre-litigation) requirements that must be strictly followed for accidents involving public officers or agents, such as sheriff’s deputies or city police officers. If your accident involves a public officer or agent, retain a qualified car accident attorney immediately to begin pursuing your claim. Do not risk having your claim barred based upon a failure to timely give appropriate ante litem notices.
