Recent Review:
“After my car accident, my best friend recommended The Baer Law Firm because they really helped him with the legal proceedings for his accident. Cristian and Mr. Baer were very friendly and completely transparent from the get-go. They really helped me understand the ins and outs of post-accident procedures. Cristian was very responsive, anytime I reached out with a question or concern, he was right there to make sense of things. In the end, they were able to get enough money back for me to pay my medical bills, attorney fee, and have enough left over for a nice new car.”

Dangerous Roads in Smyrna
Traffic congestion in the Smyrna area keeps getting worse. As residents and jobs have shifted away from the Atlanta core, more cars clog Smyrna roads. Both Vinings and Smyrna straddle the extremely congested Perimeter at a very dangerous part of the road. When cars are on the local roads, they are not any safer.
The following roads in Smyrna and Vinings see a significant number of auto accidents on these roads:
- Cumberland Road
- Paces Ferry Road
- Cobb Parkway
- South Cobb Drive
There are many busy intersections, where drivers may struggle to cross. Heavy traffic may also lead to rear-end car accidents.
Common Causes Of Automobile Accidents
All it could take to change your life forever is a brief mistake another driver in your vicinity would make. The problem is that other drivers are not thinking about you and your safety. Mistakes by other drivers may include:
- Looking down at their phone instead of keeping their eyes on the road
- Not checking their blind spots before they change lanes
- Speeding to get somewhere faster
- Getting behind the wheel after they have consumed drugs or alcohol
- Driving when they are tired and should be resting
Your Smyrna car accident lawyer would conduct a complete investigation of your auto accident to determine the cause. They would gather evidence that would put you in a position to get money for your injuries.
How To Get Financial Compensation For A Car Accident
Generally, most people involved in a car accident that was not their fault have two basic questions. One, who is going to pay to repair or replace my car? Two, how am I going to get money for the medical bills and other harms and losses I am suffering due to the injuries I sustained?
The Baer Law Firm’s Property Damage Guide provides a step-by-step process for obtaining compensation for your car. Obtaining fair compensation for your injuries is often much more complex. Numerous factors contribute to the complexity such as how much auto insurance coverage there is available, the severity of the car wreck, and how badly you were ultimately hurt in the wreck just to name a few. If your injuries are serious, typically, you are better off hiring a lawyer to assist.
In most cases, you would begin by filing a claim against the other driver’s insurance policy. After you were finished treating for your injuries, your car accident lawyer in Georgia would attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company that insured the person who was at-fault for the wreck.
If a resolution could not be reached, your car accident lawyer would have the option of suing the other driver on your behalf. The other driver’s insurance company would be defending them in the legal process. Lawsuits can take years to resolve, and if a resolution could not be reached during the course of a lawsuit, a jury would have the final say as to fair compensation.
How To Win Your Car Accident Claim
The first thing that you must do before there is even any talk of money is prove that someone else actually owes you money. You only have the legal right to compensation from someone else when you can demonstrate that they were to blame for the accident.
This is done by proving the following:
- Someone else owed you a duty of care
- They breached the duty of care by doing something that would be considered unreasonable under the circumstances (i.e., the other driver did something that was negligent)
- You suffered an injury
- You would not have been injured were it not for the actions of the other driver
You have the burden of proof to provide evidence that supports your claim. Never assume that the circumstances of your accident or injuries speak for themselves.
Why You Need a Car Accident Law Firm For Your Car Accident Claim
The insurance landscape is complicated, and insurance companies are not in business to do what is right or fair for you. A good Georgia car accident lawyer will navigate the insurance landscape for you and fight for maximum compensation so you can focus on the most important task of getting better.
