  • "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.
  • Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
  • 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.

Working with a Carroll County, Georgia Attorney in the Atlanta Claims Process (Part A)

After you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident in Georgia, you should consider hiring a Carroll County, Georgia attorney to guide you through the Atlanta claims process. If you try to handle a personal injury case on your own, you will be tasked with gathering evidence, proving negligence, and negotiating with insurance companies.

Your Carroll County, Georgia attorney has handled many accident claims and will help you maximize the value of your personal injury case. If you have never had to navigate the claims process, your attorney will sit down with you and explain all of your legal options and help you take the necessary steps to hold all negligent parties accountable for their actions.

A Close Look at the Atlanta Claims Process

Your first step in the Atlanta claims process is to meet with an attorney
. During your initial meeting your attorney will gather information about your case and ask about your injuries and insurance coverage. Your attorney will then determine whether you have a legitimate case.

In order for your injury claim to be legitimate, it must be proven that another party was responsible for your accident and injuries. Your Carroll County, Georgia attorney will apply the elements of negligence to your case to show that the defendant:

  • had a duty of care to obey rules and drive carefully;
  • breached that duty;
  • caused the accident; and
  • as a result, you or your loved one suffered damages.


Once negligence has been determined, your attorney will begin preparing paperwork, beginning with a complaint, which outlines your case. The defendant will respond to the complaint with an answer, in which he or she will admit or deny the allegations in the complaint.
