Dealing with Insurance Companies After an Accident in Georgia: Your Rights Explained

After an accident, dealing with insurance companies can be overwhelming. Whether it’s a car accident, slip and fall, or other personal injury incident, insurance adjusters may attempt to minimize payouts or deny claims. At Benton & Benton Law, we have extensive experience navigating these challenges and have secured millions in compensation for clients across Georgia. Based in Monroe, GA, we are here to ensure you receive the justice you deserve.

Understanding Your Rights in Georgia

In Georgia, you have the right to:

1. File a Claim Against the At-Fault Party:
   If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, their insurance company is responsible for covering damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
2. Avoid Unfair Settlement Tactics:
   Insurance adjusters often use tactics to reduce payouts, such as pressuring you to accept a quick settlement or downplaying the severity of your injuries.
3. Legal Representation:
   You are not obligated to negotiate with insurers alone. An experienced personal injury attorney can advocate on your behalf and ensure you are treated fairly.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Giving Recorded Statements Too Soon:
   Insurers may request recorded statements shortly after an accident. These can be used to twist your words and undermine your claim.
2. Accepting the First Offer:
   Initial offers often fail to account for long-term medical needs or non-economic damages.
3. Delaying Legal Action:
   Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years. Waiting too long can jeopardize your case.
