Frequently Asked Accident Questions
A. Injuries to ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves and discs cannot be detected by a traditional x-ray or medical exams. Our team of physicians will give you an orthopedic and neurological examination to begin the process of rehabilitation. Our physicians will check the alignment to see if there are misaligned vertebrae that occurred during the accident. Misaligned vertebrae are the leading cause of pinched nerves, which lead to muscle spasms and other life threatening conditions.
A. We work on a contingency basis rather than payment up front, so you are not out-of-pocket for your legal fees, in the event you don’t get anything from the insurance company. Additionally, our attorneys work on a lower contingency percentage than most attorneys, because our attorneys recognize that they are fighting for you, so you get to keep more of your money..
A. Our attorneys are used to the tricks that insurance companies try in order to avoid paying our injured clients. For example, the insurance company may offer you $500.00 for your claim that’s worth $50,000.00. The insurance companies understand you don’t have a law degree or know how to apply the law to get a higher settlement amount. Therefore, they will manipulate you into accepting $500.00, because you don’t practice law. Also, the insurance companies will tell you that the damage to your car is too low for you to be injured. We can help you find doctors that have endless research indicating low impact car accidents cause spinal injuries to adults and children. There are many more tricks that the insurance companies use, but our attorneys know how to handle them. Insurance companies make millions of dollars yearly on underpaid claims. This is why it’s important to use McLean Injury Attorneys, because we work tirelessly through all the mess to get you the generous settlement that you deserve after you complete your medical treatment.
A. Over the past decade alone, we have recovered millions of dollars for our clients. Depending on the facts of your claim, you could receive thousands of dollars for your personal injury claim, and most of our clients do.
A. YES. Georgia Personal Injury Attorneys will put in the extra effort to use the law to your advantage. Insurance companies almost never offer to pay for the diminished value of a claimant’s vehicle unless the claimant asks. Insurers will intentionally keep this information to themselves if the claimant doesn’t bring it up. Insurance companies have kept millions of dollars from claimants over the years by failing to disclose the diminished value law. Almost no driver bothers to mention it during a claim, often because they don’t know about it or don’t know how to ask. It’s up to you as a claimant to know about this law and act on it. Ask your insurance company about diminished value damages at the beginning of the claims process. Georgia law gives you the right to claim the amount of money you will lose due to the depreciation of the value of your vehicle if and when you decide to sell. Calculate this amount by examining the value of your vehicle before and after the crash (with help from a mechanic if necessary), then finding the difference between the two. Low-quality repairs to your vehicle may further diminish its value. You could qualify for even greater compensation if someone poorly or incorrectly repairs your vehicle following a collision. Once you’ve calculated the diminished value of your vehicle and your related future losses, take this sum to the at-fault party’s insurance company. List it as part of the damages you seek in your claim. Then, wait for the insurance company to review your request and decide to deny or accept the amount you ask.
Not all vehicles qualify for diminished value recovery in Georgia. Only vehicles with substantial market value (over $7,000), greater than $500 in property damage, low-to-normal mileage, a clean title, and those that are less than 10 years old may qualify for this type of compensation. You will only qualify if you file your claim within the statutes of limitations. If you do qualify, the insurance company must pay the diminished value of your vehicle by law. Failure to do so may be grounds for an insurance bad faith claim.
A. YES, Georgia Personal Injury Attorneys can guide you through the process of getting an advance through financial companies that will lend money immediately after your call. The loan amount varies on the facts of your case ranging between $500.00 to over $50,000.00.
