Why Hire an Accident Injury Lawyer?
Should you want to make a personal injury claim or pursue a lawsuit, you can benefit greatly from working with a skilled and experienced lawyer like ours at Huggins Accident Injury Lawyer, LLC.
Some of these benefits include:
- Essential guidance during legal processes: Our attorneys have 20+ years of experience. They can use what they have learned to offer guidance that can help you make wise decisions and avoid pitfalls.
- Evidence gathering: When building cases, we go to great lengths to gather accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions. We take care of all this, so you do not have to.
- Advocacy in crucial moments: In negotiations with insurance companies or third parties, we can advocate for your rights and best interests. If we cannot reach a fair settlement, we are not afraid to try cases in court.
- Peace of mind: Life after an accident can be incredibly stressful. We can lighten the load by handling all the legal aspects of your case, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
What Is Your Case Worth?
It will depend on the severity of your injuries and their economic and noneconomic impacts. Generally, we can work to recover compensation for financial losses, such as medical expenses, property damage, missed wages, and a lower earning capacity. These are called economic damages.
We can also pursue noneconomic damages, which are harder to quantify. They include things like pain, suffering, emotional distress, lower quality of life, and the loss of consortium (the loss of a loved one and their support).
In wrongful death cases, you can seek compensation for expenses, end-of-life care, and loss of financial support.
If you choose our firm, we will carefully assess your situation and calculate the maximum possible compensation. Then, we will tirelessly pursue that amount. You can count on us to work to see that you have the financial support necessary to move forward with your life.

Steps to Take After an Accident
To protect your right to pursue compensation for your injuries and potentially strengthen your case, take the following steps:
- See a doctor: Doing so will ensure you receive essential care and provide an official record of the scope of your injuries. Even if you believe you are not hurt, you should consult a doctor. Injuries from car or slip-and-fall accidents might not manifest for days after the accident.
- Preserve evidence: Take photos or videos of the accident scene and what you believe caused the mishap. You should also keep documents such as police reports and medical bills. These things can all be crucial in establishing liability and demonstrating the extent of your damages.
- Seek the help of an injury attorney: As we outlined above, you can benefit from turning to a reputable lawyer. At Huggins Accident Injury Lawyer, LLC, our attorneys can review your case, provide personalized advice, and be your advocate from start to finish. There are time limits for filing personal injury claims, so it is important to act promptly.

Personal Injury FAQ

Where Are Accidents More Likely to Happen in Atlanta?
Though an accident can happen anywhere, there are some places in and around Atlanta where accidents are more likely to occur. Auto accidents will occur where traffic is heavy. Always take care when traveling in congested downtown areas, such as Moreland Avenue from S. River Industrial Blvd. to Wylie Street, Georgia Highway 85 from I-75 to Springdale Drive, I-285 from the Bouldercrest Road exit to the I-20 interchange, I-285 between the Camp Creek Parkway interchange and the Riverdale Road exit, and I-20 from Panola Road to Candler Road. Pedestrians are also common in these areas, and those on foot need to be aware of their surroundings.
Unfortunately, recreational areas can also be sites of accidents. You might be injured in a boating or jet ski accident or have a slip and fall while hiking on a mountain trail.
Popular recreational areas in Atlanta include:
- Atlanta Botanical Garden
- Centennial Olympic Park
- Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area
- Freedom Park
- Grant Park
- Historic Fourth Ward Park
- Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park
- Sweetwater Creek State Park
- Piedmont Park
- Oakland Cemetery
These popular recreational spots can provide enjoyment and fun for your family and loved ones. However, if you sustain an injury from an accident, be sure to consult with a personal injury lawyer right away.

What Types of Auto Accidents Occur in Atlanta?
Negligent drivers are legally responsible for compensating victims who are injured by their negligence. Like other states, the law requires drivers to carry auto insurance with a minimum amount of $25,000.00 liability coverage in Georgia.
Here are just some of the many things a driver could do to be found negligent:
- Driving faster than is safe for current conditions (especially when the road is wet or visibility is low)
- Driving while distracted by pets or children in the vehicle
- Driving while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or prescription medication
- Driving while using a mobile device, navigation system, or built-in entertainment system
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Failing to control speed to avoid a collision
- Failing to yield the right of way to a pedestrian or bicyclist
- Improper left turns in a busy intersection
- Improper right turns on a red light
- Running a red light or stop sign
- Unsafe lane changes
The driver who is legally responsible for causing an accident (known as being liable) also has to compensate the victims of that accident for their injuries. Insurance companies start by investigating to determine which driver was at fault for the accident. There are many ways your personal injury lawyer can prove liability.
A traffic citation issued by a police officer at the scene of the accident is strong evidence that the driver was violating traffic laws and was, therefore, negligent. Even when the at-fault driver receives no citation for a traffic or criminal violation, your lawyer can still prove that the driver was not driving with reasonable caution.

What Should I Do if I Sustain an Injury on the Job in Atlanta?
After a workplace injury, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention for any injury you have sustained. If your injuries are severe enough, you may need the assistance of an ambulance. Regardless of whether or not you need transportation, you should still be seen by a doctor at an urgent care facility or an emergency room as soon as possible.
Even if you do not think you are badly hurt, you could have latent injuries that can only be diagnosed by a doctor. Some of these conditions, such as internal bleeding, can quickly become life-threatening if they don’t receive treatment right away. It is also important to document your injuries and treatment as evidence for the legal claims you will file later.
Hiring a personal injury attorney following a workplace accident that left you injured is crucial. Your employer might tell you that the company will handle the claim, but allowing the company to take the lead is not in your best interest. Remember that the company is the insured party and has a financial stake in your claim. You should never take legal advice from the opposing party (in this case, your employer).
A personal injury or workers’ compensation attorney will help you fill out the appropriate claims forms. The attorney will also protect your legal right to compensation by taking over communications with the insurance company, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

How Can an Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyer Protect My Legal Rights?
Some accident victims choose to handle their personal injury claims without an attorney. You have the right to do this, but doing so would most likely work against your interest. Injury victims without an attorney consistently receive lower settlements than those who have a lawyer.
An injury victim with no experience in personal injury claims might not know how to prove the value of their pain, suffering, and other intangible losses, whereas a seasoned personal injury lawyer has experience in presenting these losses persuasively to claims adjusters and jurors. An attorney will also know how your case compares to comparable injury cases, a useful reference when determining the fairness of a settlement offer from the insurance company.
Insurance companies will take steps to pay as little money as possible for a claim. Suppose the company suspects that you are exaggerating your injuries. In that case, they may hire a private investigator to follow you to your workplace and home, hoping to gather evidence proving you are not as injured as you claim to be. The investigator may focus on getting photos or videos of you engaging in a physical activity that your injuries should have prevented.
For example, if you claim that you can’t play sports due to a painful arm injury, the investigator might try to get footage of you lifting groceries out of your car to prove that you can, in fact, use your arm. Personal injury lawyers have experience with insurance company tactics.
An attorney can prevent you from saying something to the insurance company that could hurt your claim. Once the insurance company discovers that you have secured representation, all communication about the claim must go through your attorney’s office. Injury victims who do not hire a lawyer must speak with the insurance company frequently.
The company may request the victim provide a recorded statement about how the accident happened. They will be asked about their injuries and invited to say all sorts of things that could be misrepresented by the insurance company to reduce the value of the claim. Avoid this scenario by hiring a personal injury lawyer so that the lawyer can be present for any deposition you give.
These are just a few of the many things a personal injury lawyer can do to protect your claim. An injury victim will not know all the tactics that an insurance company will use to reduce the value of their claims, which further emphasizes why it is so important to work with an experienced lawyer who knows exactly how to protect your legal right to compensation.
