Here are some tips from Atlanta personal injury attorney Shane Smith:
1. After the accident, make sure you call the police. Get an accident report filled out and find out how you can get a copy
2. See a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. If you have any new symptoms in the weeks following the crash, get those documented by your doctor. Ask for copies of your medical records.
3. Realize that the insurance company's first goal is to save money. They will misuse anything you say to reduce or deny your claim. Don't discuss your injury or the accident with the insurance adjuster.
4. Don't sign anything until you have spoken to an Atlanta personal injury attorney.
5. Know the value of your claim. You may be entitled to a variety of damages, including but not limited to medical expenses, property damage, car repair costs, lost income and pain and suffering. An Atlanta accident lawyer can help you put a monetary value on your claim.
