Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers negotiate differently when they know a case can go to court. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Ask who personally handles your case and who you will talk to. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Georgia has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters. Once your health is addressed, consider talking with a local attorney about your options.
