The Dos and Don’ts of a Georgia Insurance Claim [Part B]

It is important that you proceed with caution when filing a Georgia insurance claim. Although an insurance adjuster may tell you that you do not need an attorney, you should discuss your legal options with Carrollton attorneys. An attorney will keep your best interests in mind and help you seek all compensation to which you are entitled.

Things You Do Not Want to Do When Filing a Georgia Insurance Claim

Just as there are things you should do when filing a claim, there are some things you should not do to avoid damaging your claim.

  • Do not accept the first offer that you get from your insurance company. There is a good chance that it will not be sufficient to cover your damages. Carrollton attorneys can help determine whether you are receiving a full settlement.
  • Do not allow the insurance company to record your conversation. You might get caught off guard and say something damaging.
  • Do not sign a waiver or release before consulting with an attorney. Just beware of time limits in your policy as you explore your legal options.
  • Do not accept payment, especially if the check says "final payment," unless your attorney has advised you to do so.


As you spend your time recovering from a serious car accident, you should not have to worry about whether your insurance company will honor its contract with you for a Georgia insurance claim. Allow Carrollton attorneys to fight for your rights while you focus on rebuilding your health.

After all, insurance companies are in the business of making money, and they will do everything they can to hold onto your money. Therefore, you should be cautious when making a claim. Your actions or inactions could influence the compensation you receive for your Georgia insurance claim.
