What Compensation Can You Recover After a T-Bone Collision in Atlanta?

The amount of compensation you can recover after a T-bone car crash will depend on the severity of your injuries and their impact on your life. For example, a spinal cord injury may lead to a permanent disability that requires long-term medical care and reduces your ability to work.

Our Atlanta personal injury lawyers examine the full scope of your losses and may consult with medical professionals to seek compensation for both your immediate losses and those you can expect from your injuries in the future.

You may be able to recover:

Economic Losses

These are the financial costs of the accident and your injuries.

They can include:

• Medical expenses: Surgeries, doctor appointments, diagnostic imaging, medications, hospital stays, long-term medical care, and physical therapy
• Job losses: Lost wages, lost job benefits, and diminished earning capacity
• Property damage: The repair or replacement of your vehicle
• Other expenses: Home or vehicle modifications, transportation costs, housekeeping or childcare expenses, and mobility assistance devices

Non-Economic Losses

These are significant losses that don’t have a direct cost related to them.

They can include:

• Pain and suffering
• Loss of a limb
• Scarring
• Emotional distress
• Loss of quality of life

Wrongful Death Damages

If you lost a loved one in a T-bone accident, please accept our deepest condolences.

• The loss of the decedent’s financial support
• Loss of emotional support and/or parental guidance

How Can Our T-Bone Car Accident Attorneys in Atlanta Help You?

After a serious car crash, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Rather than struggling to handle complicated insurance claims on your own, we step in to handle the entirety of the legal process. You can focus on recovering; let us handle the rest.

At John Foy & Associates, our legal team has recovered over $1 billion for our clients. You can see our case results to learn more about individual settlements.

We can:

• Investigate the accident to prove who was at fault
• Gather evidence that strengthens your claim
• Handle all communication with the insurance adjuster
• File all necessary paperwork to ensure it is accurate, complete, and filed on time

Contingency Fees

Our legal team works on contingency. This means there are no upfront costs for you. Instead, you pay a predetermined percentage of the settlement if we recover compensation for you.

If, for some reason, we are unable to recover compensation, then you will owe us nothing.

What Is the Deadline for a T-Bone Car Accident Case in Georgia?

In Georgia, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Trying to do so outside of the time limit may bar you from recovering compensation.

There may be instances where the timeline is shorter than two years, so it’s vital to get started on your case right away. Your lawyer will let you know the expected timeline for your case.

How Is Fault Proven in T-Bone Car Accidents?

To recover compensation, your lawyer must prove that someone else’s negligence led to the accident.

Negligence can include:

• Speeding
• Drunk driving
• Distracted driving
• Failing to yield

Proving that negligence occurred often requires an investigation.

Your lawyer may:

• Interview witnesses: Eyewitnesses may have seen whether a driver ran a red light, for example.
• Obtain records and digital information: Video footage from security or traffic cameras, phone records, GPS data, police reports, black box data (when commercial vehicles are involved), and blood alcohol content results can all be helpful pieces of evidence.
• Collect additional evidence: Physical evidence, like skid marks or debris patterns, can also help reveal how an accident occurred.
• Consult with experts: Accident reconstructionists can be particularly helpful in proving negligence.

What Should You Do After an Accident?

If you’ve been in an accident, there are a few steps you can take to protect your health and your ability to recover compensation.

You should:

• Move your vehicle out of direct traffic, if possible
• Get medical attention as soon as possible
• Report the accident to the police
• Take photos of the accident scene if you’re physically able and it’s safe; include vehicle damage and any visible injuries
• Contact an Atlanta T-bone car accident attorney
• Avoid talking to insurance adjusters on your own; direct them to your lawyer
• Do not stop or delay medical treatment
• Avoid posting on social media about the accident
