Car wrecks are just bound to happen, particularly in a big city like Atlanta. When it does happen through no fault of your own and you're injured, you need an Atlanta car accident lawyer who can help you through all of the legal, financial, economic and emotional mess.

The insurance company for the person who caused the car accident will not be sympathetic to you and will try to get you to settle your injury claim before you even know what the full extent of your injuries are.

Having an experienced Atlanta car wreck attorney by your side to ensure that your car damage, injury claim and related claims are promptly handled is very important.

Car accidents in Atlanta tend to be pretty serious and frequent given the growing population in and around Atlanta and the rest of Georgia.

The decision on who to hire as your attorney to represent you in your Atlanta car wreck case should be made thought and deliberation. If you do not have any damages other than to your car, you can probably handle that on your own. It is when you have bodily injuries from your Atlanta car accident where you should consult with and hire an Attorney. When you consult with an Attorney to represent you in your Atlanta, Georgia car accident case, inquire as to whether or not the Attorney litigates and tries cases because it is likely that you will need to file a lawsuit to recover the true value of your damages given the stubborn nature of insurance companies.

Either way, you need to get medical treatment right away. Car accidents can cause a variety of injuries, including neck, back and shoulder injuries. During my law practice, I have known of people who have also injured their knees or banged their head on the windshield. These car accident injuries can be very serious and can lead to long term problems. When you are injured in a car accident, you need to think short and long term.

If you have been injured in a car accident, go to your primary care doctor and be examined. If you do not have a primary care doctor, go to the emergency room and get checked out. Any delays in treatment related to a car accident can cause problems if and when you file an injury claim with the other party's insurance company.

Chiropractors, Medical Doctors - who to go to? All medical providers play an important role in medical treatment after a car accident. There have increasingly been more multi-disciplinary facilities that have popped up that are more or less one stop shops where someone injured in a car accident can receive various types of treatment, including physical therapy, chiropractic and examination and treatment by a medical doctor.

If you have been in a car wreck in Atlanta, you are most likely having to deal with the damage to your car and possible personal injuries.

I am going to skip the checklist of things to do immediately after an Atlanta, Georgia car wreck as they have been addressed in a previous blog entry and talk about what to do in the following days, weeks and months. If you are hurt or feel that you are hurt, get checked out by a Doctor or go to the hospital. If you are hurt or claim you are hurt from the car crash and you do not have medical records to back it up, it will make it more difficult to pursue an injury claim related to the car accident with the at fault party's or your own insurance company in the case of a hit & run or if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured.

If you are given a referral to a doctor who is a specialist like and orthopedist or a neurologist, schedule an appointment, see the doctor and do not miss follow up appointments. Gaps in treatment are very damaging to your injury claim and remember, the claimant has the burden of proving to the insurance company and if a lawsuit is filed that reaches trial, to a jury, that they were hurt in the car wreck and are deserving of money damages. If the decision makers are not convinced that you are hurt, your chances of recovering any money will be diminished.

Stay tuned for additional thoughts about this and related car accident matters.

Checklist Of Things To Do It is inevitable, whether you live or travel in a busy, urban area like Atlanta or slower pace rural area anywhere else in Georgia, car accidents are going to happen. They are emotionally trying and upsetting, but you need to keep your composure and make sure you do the the following things, whether the car crash happens in Atlanta or any part of Georgia.

If you have a cell phone, use it and call the police. They will come to the car accident scene and survey the incident to determine who, if any to issue a traffic citation to. If the car accident was not your fault, you will definitely want a police report generated and will want to obtain a copy of it for your records in case you need to file a property damage or injury claim. Be sure to take pictures of the property damage to your car and the other person's car.

If you are hurt in the car accident, get medical attention and follow up with your primary care doctor for subsequent treatment.

This list of things to do after a car accident is not exhaustive, but hits the major points.

The end result? A car accident where the suspect crashed into a building on the Georgia State University Campus. Here is what happened in between - as Cobb County police were trying to pull over the Cadillac on Windy Hiil Road, the driver took off with police in hot pursuit of the vehicle south on I-75 towards down town Atlanta.

The suspect eventually made it to the GSU campus and crashed into a closed garage door at the Alumni Hall. The suspect was arrested and taken into custody.

Luckily in this car accident, no one other than the fleeing suspect was injured. This car crash could have been much worse with potential loss of life.

It is reported that a pick-up truck rear ended a tractor trailer truck - big rig - that was on the side of the I-75 ramp leading to I-285 west. Both occupants of the pick-up truck were killed in the car accident and the tractor trailer truck - big rig - burst into flames.

The truck - big rig wreck, which happened on the I-75 ramp leading to I-285, has resulted in the I-75 ramp being closed.

With two dead, a wrongful death claim or lawsuit will probably follow. Whether the driver of the 18 wheeler big rig caused or contributed to the truck accident is unknown and with the car accident having occurred on the highway, the Georgia State Patrol is investigating the truck crash.
