Atlanta Car Accident Lawyers

The Jerry Lee Webb Law Office
Here to Protect Your Freedom

Each year, more than six million drivers are involved in car accidents. These accidents, in turn, end up costing drivers millions of dollars in medical expenses and property damages. As a result, many must submit an injury claim with the insurance company to recoup their out-of-pocket costs.

If you’re one of these individuals, it is important to seek legal counsel before attempting to negotiate with the insurance company.  The Law Office of Jerry Lee Webb is made up of experienced Atlanta car accident lawyers who are committed to helping you receive the fair compensation you deserve.

Once you have decided to seek compensation for your auto accident, you will need to decide how you would like to resolve your case. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you can negotiate a settlement with the insurance company, seek mediation or arbitration, or even take your case to trial. So which one’s right for you?

After your accident, the insurance company will review the facts of the case to determine whether it will be less expensive for them to offer you a settlement or go to trial. If the insurance company thinks they might lose the case, or simply decides a settlement will cost less them less money, they may offer you a settlement.

Deciding whether you want to accept the insurance company’s settlement offer or go to trial should not be taken lightly. Although taking the settlement may provide a much faster resolution to your case, you may be entitled to more money than the insurer offers. In many cases, a jury trial will be more sympathetic to your needs and award a larger compensation package.

If you decide to go to trial, be prepared to describe your accident in front of a jury. You will also need to find witnesses who are willing to testify in court, and be examined by a doctor selected by the insurance company. If the idea of doing these things does not appeal to you, then you may want to consider mediation or arbitration services.

Mediation or arbitration services may be useful for helping you reach a compromise with the insurance company. In mediation claims, a third party will review the evidence and offer an objective opinion about the case. An arbitrator, on the other hand, provides an unbiased opinion and also determines an appropriate compensation range.
