Motor Vehicle Collisions

Automobile collisions causing serious, debilitating and permanent injury.

Car accidents, as well as motorcycle accidents, are common and thankfully are usually minor. However, high impact auto collisions often result in serious, debilitating personal injury, or even wrongful death. The complications from a car wreck include physical, emotional and financial struggles.

Georgia law provides personal injury victims from car accidents the right to recover damages due to the negligence and recklessness of the responsible party. These damages can include past and future medical expenses and medical treatment, loss of income, compensation for pain and suffering and sometimes punitive damages. The spouse of an injured individual is also entitled to recover for the loss of consortium or services of a partner.

It is important to know your rights before you are involved in an auto collision. Insurance companies want to settle as quickly as possible and will start an investigation immediately. Before you speak with an insurance company:

  • Determine the current value of your car (Kelley Blue Book - www.kbb.com )
  • Obtain a copy of the Motor Vehicle Accident Report
  • Obtain photographs of your vehicle and your injuries
  • Understand fully the significance and extent of your injuries
  • Have a complete understanding of your automobile insurance coverage
  • Have a complete understanding of the at-fault drivers's automobile insurance coverage
  • Understand fully the extent of your Health Insurance and their potential right to recovery

If possible, do not speak with an insurance agent before consulting an attorney. Depending on the severity of the personal injury, you or your loved one could be entitled to a significant settlement. Any comments you make to the insurance company could impact the benefits you may receive.

In addition to serious automobile accidents, The Cooper Firm has developed a strong national reputation for successfully prosecuting product liability claims involving automobile defects. Our background and experience allow us to investigate a car accident from every angle to determine whether the cause of the accident is more complex than it may first appear.

If you or your family member has been injured due to the negligent driving of another person or possibly a defective automobile product, The Cooper Firm and its knowledgeable staff will work closely with you to maximize your compensation for your injuries and damages.
