Atlanta Auto Accident Lawyer

Surviving Atlanta auto accidents

The severely injured victims of auto accidents in Atlanta often suffer life-threatening or life-altering injuries. Common automobile accident injuries that may require the legal help of an Atlanta car accident attorney include the following:

Burn and scarring injuries

The most serious burns—third-degree—go deep, damaging all the skin layers. Talk to an Atlanta auto accident attorney right away. Victims often have nerve damage, such that they may not immediately feel the pain of their injuries. Especially because of the danger of infection during recovery, third-degree burns suffered in car accidents often result in death. If the burn victim survives, the follow-up surgeries may leave the patient with deep scar tissue and painful tightening of the skin's surface or internal adhesions, limiting mobility.

Injuries to internal organs

Internal organs are often compromised in serious auto accidents. Such injuries, which may involve kidneys, spleen, bowels, liver, lungs, or ribs, commonly prove difficult to repair, even with extensive surgeries. The cost of these surgeries, hospitalization, and long-term care leave victims of internal injuries in need of cost recovery through personal injury lawsuits. Our automobile accident lawyers in Atlanta could help you with your case.

Upper limb injuries

Upper limbs, often unprotected, suffer greatly in car accidents. Fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, upper arms, and shoulders may be damaged, crippled, or even severed in auto accidents. Our Atlanta automobile accident attorneys have experience with these types of injuries. An automobile accident may cause fractures, muscle damage, and nerve damage that may impinge upon future healing and mobility. Severe wrist or elbow injuries often require expensive and painful reconstructive surgery.

Lower limb injuries

Atlanta auto accident attorneys often litigate in cases involving serious or permanent injury to the toes, feet, ankles, legs, knees, and hips. A lower limb may be crushed or the bones broken. Injuries to the lower limbs usually prevent or limit walking, lifting, and other normal life mobility actions. Long-term or permanent loss of income or ability to work often results.

Head and brain injuries

The blunt force trauma of a car crash head injury can have devastating, permanent ramifications. A concussion—a type of brain injury caused by a sudden blow that shakes the brain inside the skull—often leads to only temporary brain malfunction, but a severe concussion may require surgery or result in long-term or even permanent problems. Serious brain damage can occur whether or not the force of the crash compromises the skull. The result may be paralysis, memory loss, loss of motor functions, emotional disturbances, and countless other lasting injuries or death.

Why you need an Atlanta auto accident attorney

You may think that you do not need to pursue a legal claim after an Atlanta auto accident because the insurance company is responsive. This is a risky notion, as insurance companies are not on your side. The adjusters are given three tasks, none of which support your best interests—

• Appear sympathetic and friendly so that the victim will trust their advice
• Pay out the lowest amount possible without angering the victim into legal action
• Persuade the victim to sign a settlement, which prevents a lawsuit
