Graham Scofield Injury Lawyers

You have a personal injury claim if someone acted negligently and their actions harmed you, and you suffered damages. For example, you may have incurred medical bills to treat your injuries or experienced lost wages. Even if you didn’t suffer any monetary losses, you can still recover compensation for pain and suffering.

You should hire a personal injury lawyer if you want to settle your claim for its maximum value. For example, car accident victims represented by a lawyer secure an average settlement of $77,600, compared to only $17,600 for those without representation. Additionally, a lawyer can pursue litigation if the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement, with victims who file or threaten a lawsuit averaging $45,500 in settlements, as opposed to $23,000 for those who do not.

You should call a personal lawyer ASAP. Time is of the essence after a serious accident. For instance, the longer you wait to call a lawyer, the likelier it is that evidence may be lost or destroyed. Memories also fade over time and you need to capture eyewitness testimony before that occurs.

Most Atlanta personal injury law firms are big. Some even purchase billboard and bus ads bragging about how big they are. Big law firms cast a wide advertising net to snare thousands of cases. Then, they settle those cases as quickly as possible for less than their clients deserve. You should hire a law firm that: Only accepts a sensible number of cases. Invests the time and money to maximize each client’s settlement. Big law firms are also set up so that you’re never able to speak with a lawyer. You should hire a law firm that: Gives you its lawyers’ personal cell phone numbers. That way, you can reach your lawyer 24/7. Returns your calls and keeps you informed every step of the way. If you want a lawyer that will “churn and burn” your case, hire one of Atlanta’s billboard or bus lawyers. But, if you want the best customer service and the greatest result, call Graham Scofield Injury Lawyers at (404) 939-9470. We’re not big. We’re better.

You don’t have to pay your personal injury lawyer any money until they settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of your settlement. Typically, if your lawyer settles your case before a lawsuit is filed, the lawyer’s fee is 33.33% of the settlement. If your case is litigated, your lawyer’s fee increases to 40% because litigation is time-consuming and expensive. Also, litigation requires your lawyer to turn down other cases so that they can fully focus on winning your case.

All personal injury lawyers offer free initial consultations. However, not all initial consultations are equal. Law firms that process thousands of personal injury claims per year spend very little time with their clients. In fact, big law firm consultations typically don’t even involve a lawyer. Make sure that you speak with an actual lawyer during that initial consultation. If the law firm doesn’t provide a lawyer for that meeting, that means that they only care about making a profit on your case. They do not care about you.

Negligence is the basis of most personal injury claims. It means someone failed to act with reasonable care, and that failure caused harm. To prove negligence, our Atlanta injury lawyers gather evidence to show four key elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages.
