Common Questions from Valdosta Accident Victims
Get answers before you decide.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis. We only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict we secure for you—never from your pocket. If we don’t win, you don’t pay legal fees. Contingency fees in Georgia typically range from 33% to 40% of the recovery.
Do I really have a case?
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence—whether in a car accident, on unsafe property, or at work—you may have a valid claim. Georgia law allows injured parties to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The best way to find out is to speak with our attorneys for a free consultation. We’ll evaluate your situation and give you an honest assessment of your legal options.
This is general information only. Specific legal advice requires consultation with an attorney about your unique circumstances.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
Georgia’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. However, some exceptions apply, and evidence disappears quickly. The sooner you call, the better we can protect your rights and build a strong case. Don’t wait—contact us today for a free evaluation.
Consult with an attorney about your specific case deadline.
What if the insurance company already made me an offer?
Insurance companies often make quick, lowball settlement offers before you fully understand your injuries. These early offers rarely cover your long-term medical needs, lost earning capacity, or pain and suffering. Before accepting any settlement, speak with an attorney. We’ll review the offer, calculate your true damages, and determine if it’s fair. You may be entitled to significantly more compensation.
Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial. Our attorneys have experience in both settlement negotiations and courtroom litigation. We’ll pursue whichever path gets you the best result.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you could recover $80,000. An attorney can help determine fault and maximize your recovery.
Consult with an attorney about how comparative negligence applies to your specific case.
What should I do right after an accident?
If possible: (1) Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. (2) Document the scene with photos and witness information. (3) Report the accident to police. (4) Don’t give recorded statements to insurance companies. (5) Contact a personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement.
Your health and safety come first. If you’ve already been injured, call us now. We can help regardless of what steps you missed.
What if I don’t have insurance?
You can still pursue a personal injury claim even if you don’t have insurance. Your claim is against the at-fault party and their insurance company, not your own. Additionally, if you need medical treatment and don’t have insurance, we can help connect you with healthcare providers who will treat you while your case is pending.
How long will my case take?
Case timelines vary based on injury severity, liability disputes, and insurance company cooperation. Simple cases may settle in a few months, while complex cases involving serious injuries can take a year or more. We work as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive maximum compensation. Rushing to settle can leave money on the table. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process.
Every case is unique. Timeline estimates depend on your specific circumstances.
What compensation can I receive?
Georgia law allows injured parties to recover compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on your injury severity, impact on your life, and available insurance coverage. We’ll calculate the full value of your claim and fight to recover every dollar you deserve.
Compensation varies by case. Consult with an attorney about your specific damages.
