What an Augusta Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
The most important thing a lawyer can do for you after an accident is to provide expert advice. When you contact an Augusta car accident lawyer, you’re reaching out to specialists in personal injury and accident cases. They have the expertise and experience to evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and advocate for you if you decide to take action.
It’s important to talk to a lawyer after an accident that resulted in serious injuries and major expenses. Even if you think you can work with the insurance company to make a claim, discuss your options with a lawyer. There are many things they can do to help you in this situation:
- Make the insurance claim for you.
- Fight back against the insurance company if they don’t offer enough or if they don’t offer any compensation at all.
- Investigate the accident and parties involved to find evidence and build a case for negligence.
- Provide access to medical experts for evidence but also for your recovery and care.
- File a lawsuit and negotiate a quick but fair settlement.
- Litigate in court if the defendants will not settle.
The right lawyer can almost always get you more compensation than you could get on your own. Car accident lawyers in Augusta should offer you a free consultation as well as contingency payment. You should never have to worry about fees unless and until they recover damages for you.
Augusta Car Accident Verdicts and Settlements
Augusta car accident lawyers can help you get compensation after an accident. They’ll give you a much better chance of a good outcome compared to going it alone. Of course, there are no guarantees, but cases that have settled or gone to trial in and around Augusta can help you see the possibilities.
In 2021, the city of Augusta settled with the victim of a fire truck accident. Firefighter Jerret Patterson was driving in the city in summer 2020 when he struck a vehicle driven by Brianna Anderson. Neither one saw the other entering the intersection. Anderson was pregnant and gave birth soon after the accident to a premature baby. The $500,000 settlement with the city includes $425,000 for the baby.[1]
Ashlynn Overton, just 18 at the time, died in an accident on U.S. 25 in 2017. Another car hit the guard rail, swerved, and hit Overton’s vehicle, a Nissan. Her car rolled over, and, not wearing a seat belt, she was ejected from it. Her family sued Nissan because they said the car did not have side curtain airbags installed. They claimed that if they had been in place, the airbags would have prevented Overton’s death. Nissan settled with the family for $1.5 million.[2]
