Georgia Car Accident Forum--Continued

Posted On: December 11, 2009 by Robert J. Fleming

As an experienced Georgia personal injury lawyer, I represent many clients who have been seriously injured in car accidents. This entry is one of a series of blog posts which address frequently asked questions. Knowing the answers to these common questions will allow those injured in Georgia car accidents to be better informed about the litigation process.

I am not the "suing type." Is there any way my claim can be resolved without filing a lawsuit?

When representing clients who have suffered serious injuries in car wrecks, our main goal is to "make you whole." In other words, we strive to fully compensate you for your injuries as quickly as possible.

If the insurance company properly evaluates the case and agrees to pay the amount of money necessary to compensate you for your injuries, the case will settle without having to file a lawsuit. However, many insurance companies do not negotiate in good faith. These insurance companies make lowball offers of settlement (offers that the insurance company knows are well below what a fair settlement should be), and hope that the client takes the offer instead of filing a lawsuit.

In the end, the decision whether to settle the case or file a lawsuit is the client's. It is our job as your lawyer to counsel you and give you the information needed to make an informed and intelligent decision. Based on the facts of your case and your inuries,along with other settlements and verdicts, we can accurately value your case and help you make this decision.

If the decision is to file suit, Robert J. Fleming is there every step of the way. Many times, the case settles after suit is filed but before trial for much more than the last offer on the table prior to filing suit.

As experienced injury lawyers, we at Robert J. Fleming, P.C. have had great successes helping seriously injured clients value their automobile accident cases. If you or a family member has been seriously injured and would like help in valuing your case, please contact us for a confidential and thorough case evaluation.
