The Cooper Firm

Automobile collisions causing serious, debilitating and permanent injury.

Automobile accidents are common and are often devastating, resulting in significant financial loss to individuals and their families. Georgia law provides for an injured person the right to recover for his or her 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, 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 their partner.

Typically, the insurance company of the at-fault party will begin their investigation immediately. Know your rights before providing a recorded statement, especially in the early stages of injury and aftermath of an accident. Many insurance companies will try to reach a quick settlement. In doing so, they may avoid responsibility for future medical expenses, lost income and other significant damages. If you or a family member has been involved in an automobile accident, consider the following:

• 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
• DO NOT PROVIDE A STATEMENT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY WITHOUT CONSULTING AN ATTORNEY
