AFTER AN ACCIDENT, GET REAL HELP

Since you probably drove to work or school today, you’re likely to get back on the road after the day’s done to return home.  And if you’re already there, it’s probably a matter of time before you’re out there on an errand, appointment, or on another one of life’s various obligations.  According to national statistics, there are approximately 6.4 million car accidents in the US, not counting all those truck, motorcycle, slip and fall, and workplace accidents.  Among numerous Atlanta injury attorneys in the field, the offices of Stokes & Kopitsky have carefully handled all manners of personal accidents for Georgia residents for over 30 years.

After an accident, one of your first concerns will probably be whether your injuries and property damage are covered by auto insurance. Luckily, you probably have at least some insurance coverage, because 48 states make auto insurance mandatory. (The other two, Wisconsin and New Hampshire, allow residents to drive without insurance as long as they have the financial resources to pay for any damage they cause in an accident.) Unfortunately, having some auto insurance is not the same as having enough auto insurance — and some drivers break the law by carrying none at all. This is bad news if you rely on the other driver’s insurance policy to cover your injuries, and it’s very important to be informed about qualified Atlanta accident lawyers who have extensive experience recovering millions of dollars for their clients and their families pursuing justice in Georgia injury or death cases, Atlanta accident, and Atlanta wrongful death cases.

As of late 2008, eleven states (including New York and Florida) and Puerto Rico have no-fault auto insurance systems. If your insurance policy is called Personal Injury Protection (PIP), you probably live in a no-fault state.  In a no-fault system, your own insurance company pays the costs of your injuries, no matter whose fault it was. In exchange for that security, you cannot file a lawsuit over the accident unless you meet certain qualifications. In some states, your financial costs must be above a certain amount; in others, your injuries must be very serious (as defined by law).

Three states have “choice no-fault” systems, which means each individual may choose either an at-fault policy or a no-fault (PIP) policy. As of late 2008, those states are New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.  If you live in Georgia and are not sure what type of insurance you have and you’re interested in further information, you owe it to yourself and loved ones to consult a qualified, experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyer like Gregory M. Stokes.  Both he and Atlanta auto accident lawyer Neil J. Kopitsky work personally and closely with you from start to finish, and their fees are paid only from the money they recover by settlement or in court. Otherwise, there is no fee. You do not need any money to hire them, and there is no fee for consultation.
