Catastrophic Injury Cases across Metro Atlanta: Why the First Bill Is Not the Number

Where the harm is permanent, the emergency treatment is the small part.

What counts is the next forty years: future surgeries, daily care, equipment that wears out and gets replaced, changes to the house and the car, medication, and a career that ended.

No lawyer should be guessing at that number. A life care planner builds it with the doctors who are actually treating you, and an economist converts it into today's dollars.

It is not fast, and it cannot start until the medical picture stabilizes.

Which is why the pressure to settle early is so effective. A number that seems large next to today's expenses may be small next to the next thirty years, and once a release is signed there is no revisiting it.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Atlanta?

Most personal injury lawyers in Georgia work on a contingency fee, which means the fee comes out of the recovery instead of out of pocket. There is no attorney fee if there is no recovery.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Georgia?

Georgia generally gives an injured person two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, and a claim against a city, county or state agency can require written notice far sooner than that. Waiting also makes proof harder to collect, because records and camera footage do not last forever. Flanagan Law, P.C. reviews the deadlines that apply to a specific Atlanta case at no cost.

What should I do after a truck accident in Atlanta?

Get medical care, report the wreck, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the trucking company's insurer before you talk to a lawyer.

Flanagan Law, P.C. moves early in truck cases to preserve that evidence.
