CAR ACCIDENTS

CAR ACCIDENT INJURY ATTORNEY IN DULUTH, GA

Duluth Car Accident Lawyer

Being injured in a serious car accident is a traumatic experience. Your injuries might prevent you from working and earning a paycheck, which in turn makes it difficult for you to pay your bills or put food on the table. You might be unable to care for your children or even run basic errands. Plus, you’ll need to deal with car repairs or start shopping for a new vehicle – all while dealing with the many other ways your life just became much more complicated.


Even if you’re insured you might still have to pay a sizeable deductible out of pocket for your medical care, and struggle through the headaches of hospital billing.


While you’re doing all that the other driver’s insurance company will likely be calling you up and offering you money. That’s good – right? The other driver’s insurance company will likely be all smiles and compassion. They may sound like they truly care about your wellbeing and want to help you recover.


The insurance company’s highest priority is convincing you to settle for the least amount of money possible.


Auto accident injury lawyers like Joseph Zdrilich have dedicated their careers to making sure that doesn’t happen to their clients. Zdrilich Injury Law will aggressively fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve to recover and get on with your life.

Frequent Types of Auto Accidents

Below are some of the frequent types of auto accidents:



In the aftermath of a severe car crash, victims often face not just vehicle damage and property loss but potentially life-changing injuries. Catastrophic injuries can profoundly affect a car accident victim’s future.

Damages in Auto Accident Cases Aren’t Always Straightforward

If your injuries are serious, you might be out of work for weeks or months. Some people suffer catastrophic auto accident injuries and will be forced to live with disabilities, permanent scarring or the loss of a limb. They will have increased care costs for the rest of their life and might miss out on career advancements or other opportunities in the future.


Your car accident lawyer should take the entirety of your damages into account when negotiating with the insurance company. They should calculate both the damages that are relevant today and the accident-related costs you may experience in the future. Some of those damages might include:



  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Continuing care costs
  • Lost earnings potential
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Property damage
  • Punitive damages


The damages that are relevant for your case depend on your car accident and injuries. You should speak with a car accident lawyer to learn which damages you might be entitled to for your car wreck.

QUESTIONS AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are car crash lawyers expensive?

    Personal injury lawyers who represent people injured in car accidents usually work on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid a percentage of the verdict they win or the settlement they negotiate on your behalf. You won’t owe them anything until your case is over and you won’t need to pay them out of pocket. 

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

    Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims. You’ll need to file your car crash lawsuit within two years of your accident. However, it’s nearly always in your best interest to start your case as soon as possible after your accident. Evidence can get lost and memories can get foggy if you let two years pass without taking action. The sooner you speak with an auto accident lawyer the better. 

  • Will I work with Joseph Zdrilich or a staff member?

    Every personal injury client is represented by Joseph Zdrilich. You won’t have your case passed off to an associate attorney or a paralegal. Providing personal attention on each case is important to Zdrilich Injury Law. We are careful to limit our case load to ensure no client ever gets short-changed on the service they receive. 

  • Does every person involved in a car crash need an auto accident lawyer?

    No. If you weren’t injured in an auto accident you likely don’t require the assistance of an attorney. If your injuries are very minor and the insurance company settles your claim for a fair amount you might not need an attorney. 


    However, many people end up settling for a small amount right after their accident and discover later that their claim payment doesn’t come close to covering all their medical costs, property damage and lost wages. 


    It costs you nothing to schedule a free consultation and speak with a Duluth personal injury lawyer. Founding attorney Joseph Zdrilich would be happy to discuss your case and give you an honest assessment of whether or not our Duluth law firm can help you. 

  • Is uninsured motorist coverage worth the higher premiums?

    Yes. Georgia is frequently ranked near the top of the list of states with the highest rate of uninsured drivers. If there are ten cars around you on the road, chances are good at least one of them – and maybe more – are uninsured. If you get into an accident with an uninsured driver, it might not matter who was responsible. If the other driver doesn’t have insurance or the assets to pay for your damages, you might simply be forced to cover most or all of your losses out of pocket. 


    Uninsured and Underinsured motorist coverage can help protect you and your family from the potentially devastating consequences of being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver.
