Frequently Asked Questions
What should you do if you’re injured in an accident in North Georgia?
If you’re injured in an accident, your health comes first—seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Some injuries don’t show symptoms right away, and delaying treatment can hurt both your recovery and your claim.
Next, document everything: take photos of the scene, gather witness contact information, and file a police report if applicable. Avoid discussing fault with anyone, especially insurance companies, as they may use your words against you.
Finally, reach out to Geiger Legal before accepting any settlement. We’ll protect your rights and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
How can you tell if you have a valid personal injury claim?
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence—like a distracted driver on Old Milton Parkway or an unsafe property near Avalon—you may have a valid claim. Key factors include proving the other party’s negligence, the extent of your injuries, and the impact on your life.
At Geiger Legal, we offer free consultations to evaluate your situation and give you a straightforward assessment of your claim’s strength.
How long do you have to file a personal injury claim in North Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. That might sound like a long time, but waiting too long can weaken your case—evidence fades, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies will use delays against you.
The sooner you contact an attorney, the better your chances of securing the full compensation you’re entitled to. Geiger Legal will make sure you don’t miss critical deadlines and build the strongest possible case for your recovery.
