Work with your Georgia personal injury lawyer to gather documentation, witness testimony, medical records, and other evidence necessary to justify your claim for damages. Without evidence to prove that the other party was more responsible for causing the truck accident than you were, you may lose your right to a settlement.
Dealing with Truck Accident Settlements
The majority of the work and frustration that comes with a truck accident claim is generally experienced during the evidence gathering step, but that doesn’t mean you’re finished with negotiations. Once your evidence has been gathered and presented to the insurance company, it’s time to determine just how much your claim is worth.

One of the many benefits of working with a Georgia personal injury attorney is that an attorney can look at cases he or she settled previously and use them as a comparison to your case. If you haven’t determined an estimate for a fair settlement, bring any settlement offers to your attorney immediately. Do not accept a settlement until your attorney has reviewed it – the attorney’s job is to help you obtain the full amount your claim is worth!
As you near the end of your truck accident claim, keep in close communication with your attorney before accepting any settlement offers. Once you sign the settlement agreement, you’re typically unable to file any further damage claims. If you’ve worked with an attorney throughout your claim, you should be ready to accept your rightful settlement and put the ordeal behind you!
