A severe injury could send you to the doctor’s office or even the hospital, often requiring weeks or months of follow-up visits and care. You shouldn’t have to pay for medical bills, prescriptions, or physical therapy that were brought on by another’s negligence. If you had to miss work after the accident to go to the doctor or recover from your injuries, that lost income can be a devastating blow to your household.

The other party’s misconduct has also caused you harm in countless other ways, such as physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment in life, and loss of consortium. You deserve compensation for all of these damages to make up for the harm as much as possible.

Getting paid for the full value of your claim can be an uphill battle. Georgia law puts the burden on the injured victim to prove that another party’s negligence caused the injury. The negligent party’s insurance company, meanwhile, will use its whole bag of tricks to avoid paying your claim or pay as little as it can. Here are some common insurance company tactics and the ways our Atlanta personal injury attorneys can help.
