Do I need a lawyer?
We can't tell you you need a lawyer,but you may wish you had one later.
Two reasons, and the big insurance companies are counting on you not knowing either of them.1
We know how they arrive at their number
An adjuster's first offer is not a valuation of your injury—it's a “go away” number straight from a computer system built over decades to close your claim quickly and for as little as possible.
- Record your statement within days, locking you into your story.
- Make an early offer before anyone knows what the injury will cost.
- Get you to sign a final release of all liability for their insured.
If you're unrepresented, you are hoping for an insurance company to do the right thing while they take every possible step to ensure they'll never have to. They are trained to build a file so they can eventually argue all of your injuries were minor, pre-existing, or partly your fault.
We don't let them run out the clock
Without a lawyer, the only pressure on them is your patience.
- They know the two-year deadline as well as we do.
- They have no reason to offer a fair number to someone who may not be prepared to file and serve a lawsuit on their own.3
- A process server at their insured's door with a summons flips the pressure back on to them.
We build every case from day one as if it will be tried, and every letter the insurance company gets from us makes that threat clear. When waiting stops working in their favor, the clock starts running on them.
Two Jobs
Your job is to get better.Our job is the heavy lifting.
We take the calls, pull the records, track the deadlines, and argue with the adjusters. All of the grunt work, from start to finish.
- 1
Free consultation
Phone, video, or in our office. If we think we can help, we put every insurer and at‑fault party on notice, so their calls go to our phone instead of yours.1
- 2
Investigation & demand
We work to lock down the police report, video, and black box data before they disappear, then add up every dollar of damages. Our demand will tell the insurance company what happened, what it cost you, and what we expect them to pay.1

Resolution
If their “best” offer still isn't fair and you decide to file, we prep the paperwork, file the lawsuit, serve the parties, and begin discovery. If we win, we handle the math and the paperwork.4
What Georgia law says about your claim
What the law gives you,and what it can take back.
Georgia law puts the cost of the collision on the driver who caused it. It also takes back a share for every point of fault attached to you, all of it at fifty percent, and the whole claim once the deadline passes.
The at-fault driver pays
Georgia is an at-fault state (O.C.G.A. § 51-1-6). The driver who caused the collision is responsible for the harm, and their liability insurance pays on their behalf, up to its limits. Many policies also carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that can apply when the at-fault driver has too little, including a policy in your own household.
Blame is a percentage
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, the jury or judge assigns each party a percentage of fault. Your recovery is reduced by your share, and at fifty percent you recover nothing. An adjuster or defense attorney will look for any share to pin on you: a few words in a recorded statement, a photo you posted, a gap in your records. Every point they attach to you is money off your claim.
Two years, and sometimes less
Georgia gives most injured persons two years to file a lawsuit (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), and the evidence you may need can disappear long before then.5 Some people may have even less time. Three common reasons:
- A policy or a contract you agreed to governs the claim. It can set a shorter deadline than the law provides.
- A city, county, or state entity was involved. A special written notice can be due within months.
- The proof you need to win your case is held by someone else. While it won’t change any statutory deadlines, expiring evidence like surveillance footage or dash cam video that can make or break your case could be written over within days.
This is a general estimate for most Georgia personal injury claims involving bodily injuries, not your deadline, and is provided here for general informational purposes. It should not be relied upon as legal advice concerning your claim. Consult with a licensed attorney to determine any and all deadlines that may apply to your case.5

Jeremy FreimanFounding Attorney
Jeremy started out defending these cases instead of bringing them. Insurance companies hired him as outside counsel to defend the claims people filed against them and their policyholders. He has seen these cases from both sides, so a client gets an objective read: where the case is strong, where it is weak, and the path he recommends from there.
