Were You Injured in a Car Accident in Lawrenceville? Here's What to Do Next
Time is Crucial – Do Not Delay
If you or a loved one are involved in a serious car wreck, you must act quickly to preserve your rights and protect your claim. Here are the key steps to take:
- Seek medical attention if needed
- Document the scene with photos and videos
- Get contact info for witnesses
- Contact the police to file an accident report
- Contact your insurance provider to start a claim
- Consult an experienced personal injury lawyer for guidance
The insurance company for the at-fault driver will move quickly and start their own investigation, and they do this usually within mere hours of the wreck. You must do the same. Do not delay.

Don’t Fight the Insurance Company Alone
During their investigation, the insurance company will compile a comprehensive file. They’ll gather recorded statements from drivers and witnesses. They may hire an accident re-constructionist expert to show how the accident occurred so they can assign fault. They’ll thoroughly examine the damage to the vehicles, take photographs of the accident scene and vehicles, obtain the police report, and set reserves in their insurance policy to determine the amount they are willing to settle your claims for. You cannot afford to let the insurance company get ahead of you. You must act quickly after your wreck. Do not delay. Make the call to The Kent Law Group today!
Car Wrecks Happen Frequently
Car accidents are a common occurrence in our daily lives. Studies suggest that there are over 5 million auto accidents each year. Considering the frequency of such incidents, you may find yourself involved in a car accident at some point in your life. Unfortunately, the consequences of these accidents can be severe, with nearly 3 million people suffering injuries or losing their lives every year.
We Represent People With All Types of Injuries
Injuries from car wrecks can be diverse and can have a lasting impact on you. According to the CDC, over 2.7 million people visit the ER every year for car accident injuries. Common serious personal injuries include:
- Brain injuries
- Loss of limbs
- Herniated discs in the neck and back
- Spinal cord trauma
- Third-degree burns
Sometimes, these injuries can lead to permanent impairment and disability and can significantly affect the lives of those injured and their families.
We Make the At-Fault Party Responsible
When the collision was caused by another driver, the at-fault driver bears the responsibility for compensating the injured party. Damages can include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Diminished quality of life
It is important to note that the spouse of an injured person is also entitled to full compensation for the "loss of consortium," which refers to the loss of companionship, services, and marital relations experienced when a spouse is injured.
Often, this means bringing a claim against the at-fault driver's insurance policy. With severe injuries, damages can be substantial. An experienced lawyer ensures you receive full and fair compensation.
Insurance Companies Will Not Protect You – Hire an Experienced Accident Lawyer to Fight for You
Insurance companies have no concern for you. They are loyal to shareholders and management. They will make every effort to settle claims quickly and minimize their costs. Common tactics include:
- Misleading claimants on their rights
- Discouraging people from hiring lawyers
- Downplaying the value of injury cases
- Pressuring quick, lowball settlements
We have even seen insurance companies send representatives to hospital rooms to try to convince injured people to settle while still under treatment. While now illegal in Georgia, they still find loopholes. Do not give in to these tactics. Once settled, you lose all rights to further compensation or the ability to sue. An experienced accident lawyer levels the playing field and fights for your best interests.
