More than 2,300 businesses have offices in Peachtree Corners, a planned community known for its industrial and tech presence. Major highways like I-85 and I-285 bring traffic to Peachtree Corners from other cities in the Atlanta metro area.
Inside the city, collector roads connect different areas, and the Western Gwinnett Bikeway provides an alternative for those who want to bike parallel to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. But if you experience a car accident while traveling in Peachtree Corners, you could suffer serious injuries. How can you get the compensation you need for your recovery?
A car accident can leave you spinning your wheels, literally and figuratively. When you’re injured, you may be unable to work for days, weeks, or months, but hospitals and doctor’s offices just keep sending you bills.
Not to mention, you could be in a lot of pain and struggling to think clearly.
Should you expect the at-fault driver’s car insurance adjuster to help? The adjuster will work to keep their company’s costs as low as possible, which could mean more expenses for you.
Fortunately, a knowledgeable car accident lawyer will know all the insurance company’s tricks and can fight for your right to compensation.
The CEO Lawyer Personal Injury Law Firm provides a free consultation about any car accident or personal injury case. Whether you’ve received a claim denial, are considering a settlement offer, or haven’t yet filed a claim, we can review the details of your collision and answer your questions.
If the insurance company hasn’t offered you all the compensation you deserve, we’ll negotiate with them for a better deal.
Peachtree Corners has taken steps to make cycling both more accessible and safer for residents. The Western Gwinnett Bikeway was built after residents expressed an interest in dedicated paths for biking and walking.
Additionally, the city plans to provide both bikers and vehicle drivers with technology that alerts users of approaching vehicles or vulnerable road users (such as cyclists or pedestrians).
But when cyclists must use or cross roadways, there is always a possibility of a car collision. Although bicyclists should ride carefully and observe all the same traffic laws as cars, motorists are responsible for driving carefully around bikers and other vulnerable road users.
Here are some Georgia laws to keep in mind regarding cars, bicycles, and sharing the road:
The at-fault driver and their insurance company might be convinced the vulnerable road user is at fault. However, this isn’t always the case. In many situations, we find the vehicle driver was negligent and caused the accident.
Georga law also allows for both parties to share some of the responsibility. If you are less than 50 percent at fault, you can still seek damages, but they will be reduced by your own percentage of fault.
It’s essential that you have help from an experienced car accident lawyer to ensure the insurance adjuster doesn’t overestimate any fault you might have.
Your attorney will work to answer the question of who is at fault by gathering evidence and analyzing the details. If we find evidence the driver was at fault, we’ll build a solid case to prove it so you can get the best settlement possible.
Yes. Drivers should yield to vulnerable road users in a crosswalk and always approach crosswalks with caution and reduced speed.
However, a pedestrian or biker could be at fault, at least partially, if they pop out in front of a car, leaving it no time to stop. In other words, if you made it impossible for the driver to yield effectively, they probably won’t be held responsible.
There may also be disagreement about who had the light in an intersection, a common place for bicycle accidents. A driver might say they had a green light, but the bicyclist rode out in front of their car.
Often, we will work to find evidence as quickly as possible in the hopes of recovering video from a nearby security, traffic, or doorbell camera. If no video is available, we’ll consider electronic evidence, like data from the car’s event data recorder or EDR.
We may also seek witnesses or anyone with photos or video from the accident scene.
The insurance company has a number of strategies they employ to reduce your settlement and save the insurance company money. Here are a few of the issues you might run into with an insurance claim:
It depends on the offer and your damages, but we’ve seen many situations where the initial proposal failed to cover all the client’s losses. The best way to respond to an insurance company’s offer is to review it with a car accident lawyer.
If the insurance adjuster pushes you to accept right away, you should be even more wary. Tell the adjuster you will review it and get back to them as soon as possible, then contact a lawyer right away.
We’ll spend some time valuing your claim, then go over the offer to determine if it meets all your needs. If not, we can negotiate with the insurance company and fight for the settlement you deserve.
Speak to an attorney immediately. In some cases, we may be able to appeal the decision.
Here are a few common reasons why a car accident claim may be denied:
These situations can be complicated, and it’s essential to establish who was at fault before we consider the ramifications. In general, personal car insurance doesn’t cover accidents in which the person was driving for business purposes.
However, if you were driving for work and were not at fault, you would most likely have a claim on the other person’s liability insurance. But, if the other driver is at fault, has personal insurance, and was driving for work, you might have a personal injury claim against your employer.
If the at-fault party is driving for a rideshare, you could have a claim on their personal insurance or the rideshare company’s liability insurance, depending on several factors.
What if you are driving for work, have an accident, and the other driver is uninsured, or you can’t prove they were at fault? If you were on the clock or specifically driving somewhere as directed by your employer, you may have a Worker’s Compensation claim.
As you can probably see, there are a number of considerations in these cases, but your attorney can help you identify the best options for recovering compensation.
