How Your Insurance Affects Your Case

Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney

Insurance companies pay the bulk of all personal injury settlements and verdicts. They also pay for the other driver to have an attorney. One of the first things your attorney should do is investigate sources for insurance coverage.

In most cases, the first place your attorney will look for coverage is to the other driver. A formal request will be sent to the other driver's insurance company, and that insurance company must respond with the available coverage, under Georgia law. After receiving that information, your attorney can then compare the other drivers' coverage against the extent of your damages. If your losses exceed the available coverage, your attorney will then look for other sources of coverage. These other sources may include additional defendants, such as an employer, who possess their own insurance coverage. Or you may have additional coverage in the form of automobile policies or umbrella policies. As a last resort, your attorney may try to "stack" several insurance policies in order to obtain further coverage for your injury compensation. If you have been injured in an accident, it is imperative that you contact an Atlanta personal injury attorney who can work towards obtaining the maximum compensation available in your case.
