Veteran Atlanta, Georgia Car Accident Attorneys

The Atlanta law firm of Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance represents individuals and families who have suffered losses in all types of motor vehicle accidents, including those caused by drunk drivers. We concentrate on helping individuals and families who face the most serious losses, such as burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and wrongful death.

If you or a loved one have been injured in an auto accident, especially an accident involving a large commercial vehicle, the most important thing you can do is to hire a lawyer immediately.

To maximize your recovery in a car accident case, your attorney needs to send an engineer and accident reconstructionist to the scene immediately to investigate the physical evidence, such as skid marks and crush damage to the vehicles. That physical evidence will yield important information such as speed of the other vehicle. Without physical evidence, your case will depend on the estimates of witnesses and perhaps the defendant’s story of how fast they were going. The engineer needs to be able to measure skid marks before they are washed away by rain and measure crush damage before the vehicles are sold for scrap.

Identifying All Sources of Recovery
Once our car accident attorneys have investigated the scene and secured physical evidence, we will begin to identify potentially liable defendants who have enough insurance coverage to pay for your damages.

To identify potential defendants, our lawyers need to understand the facts of the accident and why it occurred. Many times there may be a suggestion that a defect exists in the automobile. This could give rise to a product liability case against the automobile manufacturer. We have had numerous successful results where we have been able to prove that the accident was caused by a defect in the highway or water runoff from a nearby construction site. Our car accident attorneys do a good job of taking what appears to be a straightforward car accident case and identifying other responsible parties who have the financial resources and insurance coverage to pay for your loss.
