"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.

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.

What You Need To Know To Settle Your Car Accident Case

If you are hurt from a car accident, getting medical attention is probably foremost on your mind. Often, we see folks who are so concerned with their medical treatment, they fail to think of consulting an attorney for legal advice. Irrespective of who’s fault the accident may have been, one will certainly want to recover as much as possible for both the bodily injury and property.

One must remember that recovery for damages (money) in the full amount is only possible if there is adequate car insurance available for the responsible party. This negotiating process can be worrisome and confusing to say the least.

Often cases which are settled without legal representation are paid at a far smaller amount than those in which an attorney is involved. There are many ways however, to resolve your claim.

Some choose to file a claim in Magistrate Court. In Georgia you may file a claim in Magistrate Court only if the amount you are seeking to recover is not more than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00).

Some elect to mediate. This is a process in which all parties involved negotiate openly with a third party mediating their resolution. This process often results in both parties feeling that they have compromised their claim.

If these two settlement options fail, litigating may be the only way to resolve the dispute. Litigation however, can be costly and may take years to have your side heard in court. It can also be risky.
