Injury Claims: What Really Happens After an Injury?
Most people never expect to need a lawyer until life hits hard. Whether it’s a car accident, a workplace injury, or something more serious, the legal system can feel like a maze of paperwork, deadlines, and confusing terms of injury claims.
At Rohan Law, we believe in transparency and empowerment. That’s why we’re breaking down one of the most important parts of any case: the injury claims process.
Step 1: The Incident — What You Do Immediately Matters
Right after an accident, your actions set the stage for your case. Here’s what we recommend:
If there are serious injuries, Call 911 and report the incident.
Get medical attention right away — even if you “feel fine.”
Don’t admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies before talking to a lawyer.
Even small mistakes in the beginning can weaken your injury claim. When in doubt, call us first.
Step 2: Filing Your Injury Claim
Once you contact Rohan Law, we will start building your case by:
Gathering evidence (police reports, medical records, witness statements).
Notifying the insurance company of the injury claim.
Calculating damages (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering).
We handle the legal legwork so you can focus on healing. Learn more about filing an Injury claim after a work accident here.
Step 3: The Negotiation Phase
This is where insurance companies try to lowball a compensation for your injury claim. Don’t let them.
We negotiate aggressively, backed by facts, evidence, and legal precedent. If they refuse to offer a fair settlement, we don’t hesitate to escalate the case.
You deserve full compensation, not just what the insurer thinks is “good enough.”
Step 4: Filing a Lawsuit (If Needed)
Not every injury claim goes to court. But if yours does, we’ll fight for you by:
Filing the lawsuit injury claim in the appropriate court.
We’re with you at every step—answering your questions, preparing your case, and fighting for justice.
Step 5: Injury Claim Resolution
Your case ends in one of two ways:
A settlement, either before or during trial.
A verdict, if the case goes to trial and is decided by a judge or jury.
Once resolved, we work quickly to get your compensation into your hands.
The legal system isn’t designed for everyday people—it’s complex, overwhelming, and intimidating. That’s why we exist.
At Rohan Law, we take the pressure off your shoulders and give you the support you deserve—in plain language, with real results.
Misunderstandings About Pursuing an Injury Claim
It’s a common misconception that minor injuries or partial responsibility in an accident mean you don’t have a case. However, in Georgia, you may still qualify for compensation under the state’s modified comparative negligence law. This law permits you to seek damages as long as your share of fault is below 50%. Consulting an injury lawyer can help dispel these misunderstandings and determine whether your case is valid, even if fault is not fully on the other party.
