How a Peachtree City Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help

If you are injured due to someone else’s negligence, you should at least speak to an attorney about your claim. In some instances, the at-fault party’s insurance company will send an insurance adjuster to ask you questions and potentially offer compensation for your damages.

The first offer is usually not fair compensation. Insurance adjusters are skilled negotiators, and they seek to protect the finances of their company. When they know you have limited knowledge of the law, they may deliberately delay settling your claim or lower the amount they offer.

The longer negotiations are delayed, the higher the chance you will be discouraged and run the clock out on filing an injury lawsuit. Your legal team at Jonathan R. Brockman, P.C. can advise you about the evidence that needs to be collected to support your claim, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, or fight for your rights in court if fair compensation cannot be negotiated. Don’t let an unexpected accident or injury destroy the life you’ve built for yourself and your family. Contact us today.

Even if your medical expenses are higher, the insurance company does not pay more than the policy limit. If you were the victim of an accident caused by someone else, you may be entitled to the following kinds of compensation:
