Will I Get Less Money If I Hire A Georgia Or Tennessee Car Wreck Attorney?

The truthful answer? It depends on who you hire. You see, not all Tennessee car wreck law attorneys or Georgia car wreck law attorneys are the same and you need to be careful who you choose to handle your Tennessee or Georgia car wreck case.

Who Should You Avoid?

So, who should you avoid? Whether or not you hire Dennis & Winningham Law, avoid the “settlement mills”.

These are the firms that spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on billboards and TV advertising. These firms focus on high volume, fast turn around and low settlements. How do they handle such high volume? By hiring either very inexperienced attorneys or even paralegals who must juggle as many as 500 cases at once. There is no way that these law firms can take even a small percentage of these cases to trial, even if the case is winnable. They just don’t have the time. Insurance companies know this about settlement mills, so they know that more likely than not, the settlement mill attorney is not going to challenge the insurance company’s low-ball offer by going to court. Without the reasonable fear of your Tennessee Car Wreck Attorney or Georgia personal injury lawyer dragging them in front of a jury, an insurance company will offer only a fraction of what a catastrophic car wreck injury is worth.

Insurance Companies Keep Track Of The Lawyers Who Are Willing To Go To Trial

Likewise, most insurance companies keep track of the law firms that not only take cases with low ball offers to trial, but win them and recover generous jury verdicts.These firms are almost never billboard/settlement mill firms with huge TV budgets. Instead, they tend to be smaller, “old-fashion” law firms that keep their case load at a reasonable level by being selective and employing only seasoned trial attorneys like the Tennessee and Georgia personal injury and car wreck lawyers at Dennis & Winningham Law.

An experienced car wreck attorney with a track record of going to trial if necessary can recover as much as 50% more for your injury than the settlement mill/billboard lawyers. Make sure you choose the law firm that will enhance the value of your Georgia or Tennessee car wreck or personal injury case.

Take the first step toward a fair settlement by consulting an experienced personal injury attorney who knows how to handle personal injury cases and will be truthful with you as whether he or she can help your case.

Personal injury 

In almost all personal injury claims, insurance companies will offer you significantly less than what you deserve. It’s tempting to accept the first offer, especially if you are in a great deal of pain and unable to return to work. But if you’ve already taken a devalued settlement from the insurance company and your medical bills start to pile up, there’s little legal recourse to ask for more. That’s why it’s crucial to involve a Chattanooga personal injury lawyer before you even file a claim.

Trucking Accidents

Truck accidents in the United States are on the rise. Recent statistics show that almost 150,000 people are injured in truck accidents each year, and 6,000 people are killed. The regional area of Georgia and Tennessee is a crossroads and a center for car manufacturing, river traffic, and other industries. Large trucks, semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and other commercial vehicles are constantly on the road. This has a downside as frequent truck accidents occur on I-75, I-24, I-59, Highway 153, U.S. 27, Amnicola Highway, Corridor J, and other roadways. If you or a loved one has been injured in a Georgia or Tennessee truck accident, you may be eligible for substantial compensation.

ATV Accidents

Under both Tennessee and Georgia law, ATVs are not authorized for use on paved road, but children continue to bring ATVs on to our roads and highways. Georgia and Tennessee laws also prohibit the carrying of passengers on most ATVs, require children below the age of 16 to take approved ATV training courses, and require kids younger than 16 to wear helmets, eye protection, and over-the-ankle boots when operating ATVs. However, these requirements apply only when ATVs are operated on public lands, leaving kids essentially without protection when riding ATVs on private property.

Bicycle Accidents

The most tragic type of bicycle crash is a bike-car collision. Cyclists are completely defenseless traveling on 30-pound bikes when they’re surrounded by 3,000-pound cars and trucks racing by them. Pedestrians, defective bike parts, recalled bike helmets, and other ineffective bicycle safety equipment can also cause bicycle accidents. Bike accidents can result in wrongful death or serious injuries such as broken bones, amputation, traumatic brain injury, neck, back, and spinal cord injuries.

Boating Accidents

One of three factors usually cause boat accidents: an inexperienced boater, an intoxicated operator, or a boat malfunction. More than a third of both fatal and non-fatal boat accidents are alcohol-related. It is estimated that boat operators with a blood alcohol content of .10 or higher are 10 times more likely to be injured or killed in a boat accident than sober operators.
