NO FEES UNLESS WE WIN

We understand that the financial burden of a car accident can be overwhelming. That's why we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay any legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation for you. This arrangement allows you to focus on your recovery without worrying about the cost of hiring an attorney.

PERSONALIZED ATTENTION AND COMPASSIONATE REPRESENTATION

The number one complaint about lawyers is that lawyers don’t return calls. With us, you won't be shuffled off to a case manager or legal secretary; you'll work directly with a dedicated attorney who truly cares about your case. Choose Bourne Law Firm for a personalized, and local legal experience that sets us apart.

AGGRESSIVE ADVOCATES

At Bourne Law Firm, our attorneys are skilled negotiators and litigators. We work diligently to negotiate fair settlements with insurance companies, but we are always prepared to take a case to trial if necessary. Our attorneys have a proven track record of success in the courtroom and are not afraid to fight for your rights and interests.

Immediately After the Crash: Protect Your Rights

First, ensure the safety of everyone involved. Then, call the police and file a report. It's essential for your claim. Document the scene, gather witness contact information, and do NOT give a statement to the other driver's insurance company. Your words can and will be used against you by insurance companies looking for any excuse to deny your claim.

Don't downplay your injuries, no matter how minor they may seem.

Many injuries aren't immediately apparent. Seek immediate medical attention and follow your doctor’s advice to the letter. Medical records are crucial evidence in your case, showing the direct impact of the accident on your health.

Details matter in personal injury cases.

Keep all documents, receipts, and records related to the accident and your medical treatment. From repair bills to medical expenses and insurance company letters, these pieces of paper are your ammunition in the fight for justice.

Remember, insurance companies aren't your friends — they're businesses trying to pay as little as possible. Don't deal with them on your own. With Bourne Law Firm, you're not alone in this fight. We'll take on the insurance companies for you and fight tooth and nail to get you the compensation you deserve.

What Compensation Can You Expect from Your Georgia Car Accident?

After a successful car accident claim, you, as the victim, are entitled to a settlement paid by the defendant’s insurance company or the defendant themselves. Each case differs, but here are some typical compensation types:

• Medical Expenses: These can cover costs from hospital stays, surgeries, prescriptions, to essential medical equipment, and ongoing care for permanent disabilities.
• Property Damage: Compensation can be claimed for damages to your vehicle or other property, including items within your car at the time of the accident.
• Lost Wages: If you had to miss work due to your injuries, you're entitled to compensation. This can cover lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and missed career opportunities.
• Non-economic Damages: These can include physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and reduced quality of life, especially in cases involving permanent disabilities.

Georgia, unlike some states, does not cap car accident compensation. In rare situations involving gross or reckless negligence, you may be entitled to punitive damages, intended to punish the defendant for particularly irresponsible or intentional acts.

As every case is unique, consulting with a skilled Georgia car accident attorney will help estimate the compensation you may receive. Trust us at Bourne Law Firm; we're committed to fighting for every penny you deserve.

What Is My Georgia Car Accident Case Worth?

Unfortunetly, the answer is that "it depends". Determining the value of your case isn't a straightforward task. The worth of your car accident claim depends on numerous factors that require investigation and comprehensive understanding, including:

• Extent of Injuries and Medical Costs: The severity of your injuries and related medical expenses significantly influence your case's value.
• Impact on Your Life: This encompasses how the injury has affected your earning capacity, relationships, and daily living.
• Long-Term Consequences: If your injury caused permanent disability, scarring, or disfigurement, or if you require ongoing rehabilitation or care, your case's worth could be substantial.
• Insurance Coverage: The available insurance coverage from the defendant(s) also plays a key role in the potential settlement.

With so many variables at play, it's impossible to pinpoint a precise value without comprehensive assessment. It's vital to engage a seasoned Georgia car accident attorney who can analyze these elements to estimate what you're rightfully owed. At Bourne Law Firm, we are committed to help you navigate this complex process and fight for your maximum compensation.
