Athens Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal injuries are financially, emotionally, and physically devastating. They can have a lasting impact on the victim and their family. While you might expect the insurance company to take care of you, it is important to remember that insurance companies are for-profit companies that make their money by bringing in a steady stream of premiums while minimizing payouts as much as possible.

That’s why the team at R. Alan Cleveland, LLC is dedicated to protecting the rights of injury victims in Athens. As Georgia’s sixth-largest city and the home of the University of Georgia (UGA), Athens has a lot to offer to college students, families, older adults, and everyone in between. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the area’s numerous trails and outdoor recreation areas. Popular sites for outdoor fun in Athens include Sandy Creek Park, the Sandy Creek Nature Center, the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, and the Firefly Trail. The UGA campus also has a public golf course known for being one of the best campus courses nationwide. And don’t forget to visit Memorial Park, home to the Bear Hollow Zoo.

Athens also offers many ways for residents and visitors to have fun indoors. The Georgia Museum of Art on the UGA campus includes 13 permanent exhibits and several rotating collections. The historic Georgia Theatre hosts live acts daily and is a fixture in the vibrant downtown arts scene. Athens is also home to the Cine, an independent movie theater showing both popular movies and art house productions. If you’re looking for good food or a drink, Athens has plenty of options, including Southern Brewing Company, James Beard Award-winning chef Hugh Acheson’s Five & Ten, and popular BBQ spot White Tiger Gourmet.

While Athens is a fun place to live or visit, heavy traffic, construction, and large crowds can create safety issues. With more than 128,000 people living in the Athens-Clarke County region and a large student population, accidents and severe injuries are common. That’s when R. Alan Cleveland, LLC can help.R.

What to Do After an Injury

If you were injured in a car accident, slip and fall, or other personal injury incident, the actions you take immediately after the accident can have a significant impact on what happens with your claim. Take these steps following a personal injury accident to protect your legal claim:

Report the Accident

Call the authorities and report the accident. An officer may respond and complete an accident report that details important information about the accident, such as the date, time, and location. The officer may also issue a citation if the party who caused the accident violated traffic rules or other laws. Ask for a copy of the accident report once it is ready.

If you were injured in a slip and fall in a business or other non-traffic related matter, report the accident to the property owner or person responsible for the accident.

Seek Medical Attention

The most important thing to do after an accident is to seek immediate medical attention. The sooner a doctor diagnoses your injuries, the sooner you can begin receiving treatment for your injuries. If the EMTs recommend taking an ambulance to the emergency room, do so. Your Athens personal injury lawyer can seek compensation for medical bills stemming from your emergency treatment, transportation, and follow-up care.

Document Everything

The accident scene will quickly be cleaned up, so it is vital that you record as much information as possible. Request contact information for any witnesses who observed the accident. Look for nearby businesses or traffic cameras that may have recorded the accident. Photograph any conditions that may have caused the accident.

Keep all documents and evidence of the following:

  • The full extent of your injuries
  • Your medical records, expenses, and treatment
  • Lost wages and lost earning potential caused by your injuries
  • Financial losses caused by your injuries
  • Evidence of your physical and emotional suffering and anguish

Helping You After a Serious Injury

An experienced Athens personal injury lawyer can immediately get to work on your case to help you after a serious injury. They will launch an in-depth investigation to determine the cause of the accident and all parties who are responsible for your injuries. They can begin documenting the full extent of your injuries and financial losses. They can then use this information to negotiate from a position of strength to help you recover compensation to pay off your medical bills, make up for lost income, and properly compensate you for the pain and suffering you endured because of someone else’s negligence.

R. Alan Cleveland, LLC is a dedicated personal injury law firm that can help you with every detail following an accident. We will handle communications with insurance companies and other parties so you don’t have to worry about it. We provide you the peace of mind of knowing that your claim is in capable hands.
