Frequency Asked Questions

1

What should I do immediately after a car accident?

After a car accident, prioritize safety by checking for injuries, calling 911 if
needed, and moving to a safe location if possible. Document the scene by taking
photos, gathering witness contact information, and exchanging insurance details with
the other driver. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine, as some injuries may not
be immediately apparent. Finally, contact an attorney to discuss your legal options.
2

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after a car
accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, it’s advisable to
consult an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the
appropriate time frame.
3

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still be able to
recover compensation through your own insurance policy if you have
uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. An attorney can help you navigate this
process and explore all possible sources of compensation.
4

How is fault determined in a car accident case?

Fault in a car accident is typically determined by analyzing evidence such as
police reports, witness statements, and accident scene photos. Georgia follows a
modified comparative fault rule, meaning that you can recover damages as long as you
are less than 50% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your
percentage of fault.
5

Do I need to see a doctor even if I feel fine after the accident?

Yes, it’s important to see a doctor after a car accident, even if you don’t feel
injured. Some injuries, such as whiplash or internal injuries, may not show symptoms
immediately but can become serious if untreated. A medical evaluation also provides
documentation that can be crucial for your claim.
6

What types of compensation can I receive for a car accident?

Depending on the details of your case, you may be entitled to compensation
for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and in some
cases, punitive damages. An attorney can help you evaluate your claim and determine
what compensation you may be eligible to receive.
7

How much does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?

Most car accident attorneys, including those at the McMahan Firm, work on a
contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any legal fees upfront, and the
attorney only gets paid if you receive a settlement or court award. The fee is typically a
percentage of the compensation you recover.
8

How long will my car accident case take?

The length of a car accident case varies depending on the complexity of the
case, the extent of your injuries, and whether the case is settled out of court or goes to
trial. Some cases may resolve in a few months, while others could take over a year.
Your attorney can give you a more accurate timeline based on your specific situation.
9

What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

If an insurance company offers you a settlement, it’s important not to accept it
without consulting an attorney. Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and for
less than your claim is worth. An attorney can review the offer and negotiate on your
behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
10

Can I handle my car accident claim without a lawyer?

While it’s possible to handle a car accident claim on your own, having an
experienced attorney can significantly improve your chances of receiving fair
compensation. A lawyer can help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies,
and represent you in court if necessary.
