Georgia is a fault-based insurance state. If you are in a car crash, the person at fault pays for the damage. In most cases, this means their automobile liability insurance pays because Georgia requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of automobile liability insurance.
Georgia’s automobile liability insurance requirements are:
These are minimum amounts. Drivers can also carry bodily injury and property damage coverage with higher limits.
Drivers can choose to purchase additional insurance coverage and higher policy limits. Other forms of insurance coverage include comprehensive, collision, medical payments, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
Uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) insurance pays for certain losses when the at-fault driver doesn’t have any automobile liability insurance or their policy limit is less than what your damages are worth.
Under Georgia’s uninsured motorist law, insurance companies have to offer this type of coverage. You don’t have to buy it, though. It is always best to buy as much uninsured motorist insurance coverage as you can afford because it is like buying liability insurance for the at-fault driver. It is there to pay you and your resident relatives in accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers.
If you have UM/UIM coverage, then this is where you will turn to for help after being hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver.
An accident with an uninsured driver is frustrating, but your own UM/UIM coverage might be enough to pay for your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and vehicle repairs.
But car accidents with uninsured drivers don’t always work out so smoothly. If you find out the negligent driver doesn’t have enough insurance, contact The Marsh Law Firm to learn about your options. You might be able to recover through the UM/UIM coverage in your own auto insurance policy.
Having an experienced uninsured accident attorney makes a significant difference in recovering compensation after an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver. For over two decades, attorney Marsh has focused on helping people in situations like yours and has the history of results to prove it. His knowledge and trial experience balances the scales between victims and insurance companies, which are used to having all the power.
Not all car crash claims can be wrapped up neatly with an insurance settlement. Unfortunately, even if you have UM/UIM, your insurance carrier may wrongfully deny your claim. Or, sometimes, injury claims have to go to court. No matter the details, Mr. Marsh knows how to make them respond and won’t hesitate to file a personal injury lawsuit when that’s the best way to win you compensation.
When you’re injured by an uninsured driver, you should have a dedicated uninsured motorist attorney by your side. You deserve someone who will devote their time to getting you the best possible results.
When attorney Marsh handles your uninsured motorist claim:
Statesboro has several major roads running through it, including I-16, U.S. 301, and Route 67. It also has its fair share of young drivers, and at times, drunk drivers. Between times of heavy traffic, teen drivers, impaired drivers, and simple carelessness, accidents happen to anyone. The Marsh Law Firm can help if your accident was caused by:
The person at fault for a car accident is the driver that acted carelessly or recklessly behind the wheel. Every driver owes other motorists and pedestrians a duty of care. It’s their responsibility to obey traffic laws and be careful. Too many drivers fail to uphold this responsibility and cause someone like you harm.
You’ll have to prove the other driver was negligent to win compensation. Uninsured accident attorney Troy Marsh quickly gathers and reviews the evidence, including the police report, photos of the crash, vehicle inspection reports, eyewitness statements, and your medical records. He’ll uses this to determine who was at fault and the value of your case.
When the other driver has expired insurance or never paid for it to begin with, you face a different process.
We understand you’re going through a lot right now. A serious car accident can lead to:
When The Marsh Law Firm takes on your case, we help you get proper medical care and handle your medical bills while you’re waiting for a settlement or court award.
Never doubt that attorney Marsh intends to recover you the most compensation possible, and not only for your physical injuries. The law also allows recovery for things like mental anguish and emotional distress in certain cases.
When you’ve been hurt or lost a loved one in a crash with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may be compensated for:
Attorney Marsh will look closely at your case for any relevant insurance policies. There might be insurance coverage, even if the driver didn’t pay for a policy.
When your injuries aren’t covered by the other driver’s insurance, the only way to recover compensation is directly from the at-fault driver. That may require taking them to court. At The Marsh Law Firm, we handle the litigation process for you. We prepare and file the paperwork, appear in court on your behalf, and argue for everything you’re rightfully owed.
This is an important issue attorney Marsh will talk about if it applies to your situation. It is whether or not it is worth it to get a judgment against the other driver. It’s important to investigate whether an at-fault driver can pay a judgment if you win one. A driver who has little-to-no income or assets can’t pay, even if a judge says they have to. If you can’t collect what you’re owed, it might not be worth filing a lawsuit.
Initially, you should focus on using the insurance coverage you have, including your health insurance and medical payments coverage in your own auto insurance policy. Then, it is important to talk with a lawyer experienced in uninsured driver accidents. You might find other insurance coverage to help or your attorney might recommend a lawsuit. What you can or should do after an accident with no insurance depends on the specific circumstances.
Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is usually two years, but it could be much less. That means you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file the lawsuit. But other factors can change that timeline, which is why you should consult a lawyer.
Being injured by a negligent driver who also recklessly doesn’t have insurance is infuriating. But, you still have options. The sooner you call attorney Marsh, the sooner he can get to work pursuing what’s right.
For over 26 years, attorney Troy Marsh has been leveling the playing field by securing favorable results and jury verdicts for people injured by negligent drivers.
