You Deserve Compensation for Your Losses in Lawrenceville, GA
After a car accident, you could be facing serious physical injuries that lead to extensive losses and expenses. However, we can help recover those losses, such as the following types of damages:
Medical Bills for Emergency Care and Beyond
A primary concern for many victims of car accidents is how they will pay for their medical care, including the ongoing costs of healthcare. Your medical expenses may include the following:
- A ride in an ambulance
- Emergency room care
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- MRIs or X-rays
- Medications
- Physical rehabilitation and therapy
- Chiropractic care
While your insurance may provide some coverage for immediate medical attention, you may still face significant medical costs beyond what your insurance will cover. The other driver’s insurance may be responsible for the full costs of your medical care, including any long-term care you might require.
Attorney Evan Kaine and the team at Kaine Law can gather medical records and bills to demand appropriate compensation for all your medical costs.
Lost Wages and Other Impacts on Your Career
You could recover compensation for lost wages and reduced earning capacity. These damages compensate you for wages lost while recovering. They can also address your losses if your injuries prevent you from working in the same capacity as before your injury. If you have permanent injuries, you may even claim compensation for training in a new career.
Pain and Suffering
Non-economic damages may be recoverable in addition to your economic losses. Examples can include the following:
- Pain and suffering: After an accident, you could face extreme physical pain and emotional distress due to your injuries—and your compensation could reflect your suffering.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: If you cannot experience life the way you did before the accident, you could be compensated for this loss.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): If you face psychological trauma and disturbing flashbacks after a crash, you could seek compensation.
- Loss of consortium: Your spouse or partner may be eligible to pursue compensation based on the effect your injuries have had on your relationship.
Our personal injury law firm will assess all damages that reflect an impact on your quality of life and pursue a fair settlement for them.
Property Damage
You could also qualify to recover compensation for property damage you suffered in the accident. If your vehicle’s value is diminished, you could pursue a diminished value claim as well.
A Lawrenceville auto accident lawyer from Kaine Law can place a proper dollar value on your claim. We can determine how a car accident impacted your life and demand fair compensation on your behalf.
Wrongful Death Damages
If you lost a loved one in a car accident, we are truly sorry for your loss. Our Lawrenceville wrongful death lawyer understands what you and your family are facing and can help you file a wrongful death claim. Certain surviving family members can seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses your family now faces.

Our Lawrenceville Car Accident Attorneys Will Build a Case to Prove Who Was at Fault
Our Lawrenceville personal injury lawyers will handle all the details of your injury case. A Lawrenceville car accident lawyer from our law firm can:
- Take the lead in demonstrating negligence and liability
- Gather evidence that establishes fault
- Work with expert witnesses who can speak to how the accident happened
- Communicate with insurance companies on your behalf
- Build a powerful case for fair compensation
Filing a case for compensation after a car accident entails many important steps. Even in a relatively straightforward case, seeking a fair recovery can prove complicated and challenging. Our lawyers will deal with all the necessary legal details.
How Our Lawrenceville Car Accident Attorneys Prove Liability
To pursue compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit, we will prove the other driver met the four elements of negligence:
- Duty of Care: The other driver had a legal responsibility to drive safely.
- Breach of Duty: The other driver did not uphold their duty of care, driving irresponsibly.
- Causation: The other driver directly caused your injuries.
- Damages: You now have financial losses due to your injuries.
We will work to build the strongest possible collection of evidence to prove that these facts are true to your case. We can use:
- Police reports
- Witness statements
- Security camera footage
- Accident reconstruction data
- Medical records
- Financial statements
- Accident scene photographs
- Subject matter expert testimony
We will investigate your accident and collect all relevant evidence in your case to show how the liable party was negligent. We can point to evidence of reckless driving, illegal maneuvers, or other forms of carelessness on the road.
We Will Communicate With All Parties on Your Behalf
When you hire our auto accident attorneys, you won’t have to deal directly with the liable party, their insurer, or their legal representatives. Whether you are filing an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit, we will negotiate for a fair settlement or represent your interests in court.
If you do have to give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster, we can give you an idea of what to expect and offer guidance. For example, do not make any admission of fault or go into any detail about your injuries. Stick to the facts of the accident, like the vehicles involved and the time and date, and simply say you are under the care of a doctor.
Any other communication from that point on is something we can handle on your behalf. Any calls or inquiries you receive can be directed to our law office.
We Will Submit All Insurance and Legal Documentation
Both an insurance claim and a personal injury lawsuit require an extensive amount of paperwork. The benefit of hiring a car accident lawyer is that you won’t have to worry about any of it. We know what forms to fill out and how to submit them. We can take care of all the necessary paperwork while you rest and focus on your recovery.
This can take a substantial burden off your shoulders. Even a minor clerical error can cost you time and money in the legal process. You won’t have to worry about it when we are handling your case.
We Handle the Legal Process While You Recover
Many accident victims will want to know if they will need to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. To seek fair compensation for you, we may file an insurance claim or a civil lawsuit.
We can, in many cases, seek the financial recovery you deserve through an out-of-court settlement. This can be an expedient option for all parties. However, we also know from experience that filing a lawsuit can motivate the insurance company to make you the settlement offer you deserve.
Our Lawrenceville car accident lawyers are prepared to take either action, depending on which route will be best for your potential compensation. Your only responsibility will be seeing your doctors and recovering your health.

Kaine Law Can Handle Complex Auto Accident Cases
Some car accident cases are especially complicated. Your case may involve multiple liable parties or a major company’s insurance policy.
We are not afraid to take on tough cases. We can handle car accident cases involving complicated factors such as:
- Rideshare drivers
- Trucking accidents
- Drivers who flee the accident
- Accidents on construction sites
- Government agencies that may be liable
During your consultation, we can explain what factors may influence your car accident case.
When Multiple Parties Are Liable
You may think you know who is responsible for your accident—that is, the negligent driver that hit you. After we investigate, however, we may find that more than one party is responsible for your accident.
Let’s say that a truck driver caused your car accident. If the driver was working at the time of the crash, the trucking company may be found liable as well. This could mean many important things for your case. You could seek financial compensation from a higher corporate insurance policy, for instance.
We will be sure to identify all parties responsible for your accident.
When an Employee of a Network Transportation Company Caused Your Crash
Beyond truck drivers, others may be working at the time they hit you, including rideshare drivers. This is another complex accident situation, as you may be eligible to file a claim through Uber or Lyft’s policy.
If you were in a rideshare accident or a taxi accident, we can help.
When You’re Facing Unfair or Aggressive Insurance Tactics
Our car accident lawyers in Lawrenceville are familiar with the ways insurance companies protect their bottom lines. We know how to counter unfair claims or aggressive tactics, including:
- Outright denial of your case without good reason
- A delay in processing your claim for compensation
- Claims that you aren’t as injured as you are
- Unfair claims that you were partially liable
These strategies are often intended to reduce your settlement amount. With our legal representation, we will build evidence to show that you have a right to recover the damages involved in your case.
What to Expect During Your Free Case Review With Our Lawrenceville Car Accident Team

Georgia Laws That May Affect Your Case for Compensation
Many laws in Georgia could affect your right to seek compensation in your car accident case:
State Law Gives You Limited Time to Pursue a Car Accident Lawsuit
There is a strict time limit on filing a personal injury lawsuit for car accident cases in Lawrenceville. This time limit is called the statute of limitations. According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years following your crash to file a lawsuit with the Gwinnett County courthouse. Other deadlines may apply to your case, depending on who is liable for your accident. For instance, you may have only six months to file suit if a government entity is responsible, per O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5.
Failure to act within the specified time limit for your case may keep you from recovering compensation. The courts could bar your case, and the insurance companies may refuse to negotiate. However, once we have your case in our hands, we will work to meet legal deadlines. Plus, the sooner you contact us to start your case, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your rights.
It takes time to investigate an accident, build a case, and negotiate with an insurer, yet none of these processes stall the deadline. Prompt action gives us the time necessary to serve you effectively.
Our Lawrenceville Car Accident Attorneys Are Prepared to Counter Claims of Contributory Negligence
Your personal injury attorney can also fight against inaccurate allegations of fault on your part. In Georgia, another party may try to claim that your own negligence contributed to the accident—and this could reduce your settlement amount, according to O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. Presented as a percentage, if you are found to be 10% at fault for your injuries, your settlement would be reduced by that percentage.
However, we will work to counter any false claims that you were to blame for the accident. We can build a case demonstrating the other driver’s fault.
What You Can Do to Protect Your Right to Compensation After a Georgia Crash
The actions you take in the aftermath of your accident can make an important difference in the outcome of your case. Consider the following steps:
Gather Your Own Evidence File
Hang onto any evidence related to your case. For instance, you can take pictures and videos of the accident scene while you are there. If you have contact information for eyewitnesses, you can pass these on to your legal team.
Keep track of any receipts for out-of-pocket expenses, such as transportation costs if you are unable to use your car.
You can also keep a daily journal on your recovery. Record when you see your doctors, what prescriptions you took and when, what procedures or rehabilitation toward your recovery you performed, and your overall feeling.
Follow Through on Your Doctor’s Orders
One of the most important things you can do for your case is to get medical care for your injuries. Be sure to not only get treatment immediately after the crash but also attend any recommended follow-up appointments or take any important medications. Documenting your medical care will create a record that:
- You were injured—and the car crash was the cause.
- Your injuries may keep you from working, per your doctor’s notes.
- Your injuries are significant, and you could need ongoing or future care.
With the evidence of your medical care, we will be better able to counter any challenges to your accident claim. If you saw a physical therapist for four months after the crash, it will be harder for the insurer to say your injuries aren’t serious.
Be Careful About What You Say
Unfortunately, your words can be used to harm your case, depending on where you make statements about the crash. We advise that you:
- Avoid posting on social media after the accident
- Decline an insurance adjuster’s invitations to make a recorded statement
- Be brief on calls with the insurance company
- Only report what you know to the police
When you discuss the accident with the insurance company, it’s all too easy to make comments that could be misconstrued as an admission of fault. Relatedly, if you post comments on social media about how the crash happened, this, too, could be misconstrued and used to lower your settlement value.
Don’t Sign a Settlement Offer Until You Know It’s Fair
Our personal injury lawyers understand that you may likely need your check as soon as possible to pay significant bills. Still, don’t sign any offers until you know that the agreed amount reflects the compensation you deserve.
As mentioned previously, our team’s goal is to seek compensation for all available damages in your case, including future medical care. If you sign a settlement agreement too early, you might be leaving a great deal of money on the table.
