Woodstock Experienced Car Accident Attorneys Fight for Your Rights

Why You Need a Car Accident Attorney

Car accidents are a leading cause of personal injury cases, and insurance companies are prepared for this. They have entire teams of lawyers dedicated to minimizing payouts. Don’t let them take advantage of you.

In Georgia, you typically have two years to file a lawsuit after a car accident. This means you have time to make informed decisions about your case. Don’t feel pressured to accept a quick settlement from the insurance company. Often, these early offers fail to account for the full extent of your injuries and future medical needs.

What may seem like a fair settlement now could leave you struggling later if your condition worsens. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced car accident attorney on your side.

  • Negotiate effectively with the insurance company: A lawyer will fight to get you the maximum compensation you deserve.
  • Protect your rights: An attorney will ensure you meet all legal deadlines and understand the complexities of the legal process.

When car accidents occur, the first 24 hours are critical.

Contact a Car Accident Attorney Immediately

The aftermath of a car accident can be chaotic and confusing. But it’s precisely during this critical time that crucial evidence is gathered and decisions are made that can significantly impact your case. The first 24 hours are especially vital.

Here’s why:

  • Police investigations: Law enforcement officers will arrive at the scene, interview witnesses, and create an accident report. This report often forms the foundation of any legal claim.
  • Evidence collection: Physical evidence, such as skid marks, vehicle damage, and road conditions, can disappear quickly. Time is of the essence to preserve this evidence.
  • Witness statements: Memories fade, and witnesses may become harder to locate as time passes. Promptly gathering their accounts is essential.

At Tidwell Strimban, we understand the urgency of these early stages. Our attorneys have extensive experience in car accident investigations and strong relationships with local and state police agencies. This allows us to:

  • Quickly obtain crucial information: We can access police reports, accident scene photos, and other key evidence.
  • Conduct independent investigations: We work with experienced private investigators who can gather additional evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the accident scene.
  • Preserve evidence: We take steps to ensure that critical evidence is not lost or destroyed.

Beyond Individual Negligence

Sometimes, car accidents are not solely caused by individual drivers. Faulty road design, poor maintenance, or defective traffic signals can also contribute to accidents. If a government entity played a role in your accident, the car accident attorneys at Tidwell Strimban have the experience to hold them accountable.

Our attorneys can help you navigate the law to deal with the following:

  • Negligent road maintenance: Potholes, debris, or lack of proper signage can create hazardous conditions.
  • Faulty road design: Dangerous curves, inadequate lighting, or poorly designed intersections can increase the risk of accidents.
  • Defective traffic signals: Malfunctioning traffic lights can lead to confusion and collisions.

45+ Years of Experience Fighting for Car Accident Victims

The vast majority of auto accidents are preventable. Sadly, far too many crashes result from reckless and negligent actions behind the wheel, leaving victims with serious injuries and devastating losses. Whether it’s excessive speed, driving under the influence, distractions like cell phones, or aggressive behaviors like tailgating, these irresponsible choices have real consequences.

If you’ve been injured by a negligent driver, you don’t have to suffer in silence. At Tidwell Strimban, our experienced car accident attorneys understand the profound impact these events can have on your life, your health, and your finances. We’re dedicated to holding reckless drivers accountable for their actions and helping you get back on your feet.

We Fight for Your Full Recovery

We know that recovering from a car accident involves much more than just physical healing. That’s why we aggressively pursue comprehensive compensation for our clients, encompassing all aspects of your recovery:

  • Medical costs: From emergency treatment and hospitalization to rehabilitation and ongoing care, we work to ensure your medical expenses are covered, now and in the future.
  • Pain and suffering: No amount of money can truly erase the physical pain, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life you may experience. However, we strive to secure compensation that recognizes and acknowledges this suffering.
  • Lost wages and earning potential: If your injuries prevent you from working, we’ll fight to recover your lost income, including both past and future earnings.
  • Other damages: We also pursue compensation for property damage, loss of companionship, and any other losses you’ve incurred.
  • Punitive damages: Sometimes, a person’s behavior goes beyond mere negligence and calls for damages that are designed to punish a person for willful and reckless behavior. When this kind of behavior happens, punitive damages are appropriate. The lawyers at Tidwell and Strimban have the experience to recover punitive damages when the wrongdoer’s behavior is willful and reckless.
