I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.

I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

How to Protect Your Insurance Claim after a Car Accident in Douglasville, Georgia (Part B)

A car accident in Douglasville, Georgia can throw a wrench in your life, but when you handle the situation calmly, you can get on with what’s important to you sooner than you might think. Speaking with a Georgia injury lawyer is the first step.

Other things you should do to ensure the integrity of your claim:

make sure all of your medical expenses are billed to your health insurance provider and politely insist the hospital bill your insurer for everything – your attorney can explain to you why this is preferable;
gather evidence by writing down everything you can remember, retrieving a copy of the accident report, and getting contact information from eye witnesses;
follow up on all treatments you receive – this includes taking all the medicine you are prescribed, making it to any appointments you have with your doctor or with specialists, and following all doctor’s orders. Failure to do so will give the insurance company ground to claim you are not really injured, and your claim may suffer as a result; and
keep track of all of your expenses – medical, property damage (including vehicle repair), prescription medicine, all of them. Present this gross total to your attorney. Make sure your lost wages are included, even if you took vacation or sick time, as you are entitled to a reimbursement of that.

When you’ve been injured in a car accident in Georgia, an injury claim can help you by recovering damage from the party who was at fault. Accidents are accidents – they’re not on purpose.

The at-fault party might not necessarily be a bad person. However, if that person took their eyes off of the road, failed to obey traffic signals, or was driving recklessly in such a way that led to an accident that injured you, then the law says that person should be held responsible for the damage that occurred as a result.
