What Damages Will We Help You Recover From an Accident?
If someone else caused your crash, you could recover damages for:
- Medical care (past and future)
- Lost wages or job income
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional distress
- Car repair or replacement
At Jones & Swanson, our Dallas car accident claim attorney will build a case that reflects what you have been through. We don’t believe in quick settlements if they’re not fair, and we won’t settle for less than your case is worth.
Damages in Fatal Car Accidents
If your loved one died in a fatal crash in Dallas, GA, we are truly sorry. Nothing can replace your loss, but you may be able to hold the person who caused the crash responsible.
Our Dallas wrongful death lawyer will treat your case with care and respect. When we file a lawsuit for your family, you can recover damages such as:
- Expenses for your loved one’s funeral, burial, or cremation
- The full value of the person’s life
- Crash-related medical expenses
- Lost future wages
Wrongful death cases are deeply personal. We will answer your questions with compassion and guide your family through this process.
Proving Fault and Negligence in a Dallas Car Accident
As we seek damages, we must show how another party was negligent in the crash. That means proving:
- They had a duty to drive safely.
- They broke that duty by speeding, texting, running a red light, etc.
- Their actions caused your injuries.
- You suffered losses as a result.
These cases often involve complicated Georgia traffic laws, insurance policy details, and even federal regulations if commercial vehicles are involved. Our team will sort through these legal details and build a strong case on your behalf.
Who May Be Liable for the Crash Besides the Other Driver?
It’s not always just the driver who caused the crash. Other parties we will investigate include:
- A vehicle manufacturer: For defects
- A bar or restaurant: If driving under the influence (DUI) was a factor
- A government agency: For unsafe road conditions
- An employer: If the driver was working
We will explore every possible source of liability to ensure that everyone responsible for the collision is held accountable..
We Will Review All Insurance and Liability Issues in the Crash
Georgia law requires drivers to carry liability insurance, but not everyone follows the rules or has enough coverage for their vehicle. The minimum limit is 25,000. That’s where things get challenging. Some drivers are uninsured or underinsured. If you are concerned about insurance coverage, one of our Dallas car crash lawyers will:
- Review all available policies (including your UM/UIM coverage).
- Fight back if an insurer tries to deny or delay your claim.
- Work with you to explore all available sources of recovery.
- Help you understand your options if the at-fault driver does not have insurance.
Even if the insurance situation seems complex, we will sort through it. Our attorney team will handle it for you while you focus on your recovery.
What About Liability Issues in Rideshare Car Accidents?
Crashes involving rideshare companies such as Uber and Lyft can involve more complex insurance issues. Insurance coverage shifts based on what the driver was doing at the time, which could be:
- Waiting for a ride request to come in
- Driving to pick up a rider after a request comes in
- Transporting a passenger to their destination
Common liability issues in rideshare crashes include:
- Whether the app was on and the driver was signed in
- Whether the driver was on a trip
- Which insurance policy applies, whether personal (the driver’s insurance) or commercial
The lawyers from Jones & Swanson will review all available data, including app records and policy terms, to figure out who should pay for your injuries.
We Must File Your Lawsuit for Damages by a Certain Time
Injury and wrongful death cases have deadlines under Georgia law that must be met on time. Generally, the following apply, per Ga. Code § 9-3-33:
- Personal injury cases: You have two years from the crash date to file.
- Wrongful death cases: You also have two years from the date of death.
We encourage you to talk with one of our car accident claim attorneys in Dallas to find out how much time we have to settle your case or file a lawsuit.
What You Should Do if You Have Been in a Car Accident in GA
After a car accident, what you do next matters for your recovery and your case. Here are some steps to take now:
- Call 911: A police report creates an important record. We will help get a copy of the report later and use it in your case.
- Get medical care: Even if you feel fine, you might have internal injuries. We work with medical providers who will treat you now and wait for payment.
- Gather details and take photos: Document damage, injuries, and the scene. If you can’t gather info at the scene, we will investigate.
