If you’ve been injured in a Georgia accident with a drunk driver, you have probably already thought about filing a lawsuit, but you might not be sure how to go about it, who to trust, or even where to begin with your DUI injury claim.
Speak with an Atlanta car wreck lawyer about your claim and ask the following questions:
How many victims of drunk driving has the lawyer represented in the past few years?
Will you pursue additional liabilities for the accident, such as the liquor supplier (under Dram Shop laws)?
How many cases has the attorney won and settled?
How does the attorney handle billing for services?
What are the anticipated strengths and weaknesses of your case? and
Do you take your cases to trial or refer them to another attorney?
Take advantage of the free consultation that most Georgia DUI injury claim lawyers offer. Make a list of your questions before meeting with the lawyer and consult with several before you select the attorney that is the best fit for your case.
This doesn’t always mean going with the largest, most impressive firm out there, but before you select a solo practitioner, make sure he or she has both the civil and criminal knowledge to pursue the case to its furthest extent.
