- What happens nextOmar reviews what you send and responds personally. If there is a claim, he will say what it looks like; if there is not, he will say that too.
Georgia gives most injury claims two years from the date of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), and a claim against a city, county or state agency can require written notice in as little as six months. If a deadline passes, the claim is gone no matter how strong it was.
What to have ready (and what not to worry about)
None of this is required to call — but if you have it, it makes the first conversation much more useful:
- the date, time and place of the crash or incident;
- the crash report number, if the police responded (Georgia reports are usually available through BuyCrash a few business days later);
- the names of the other driver, property owner or company involved;
- photographs of the scene, the vehicles or the hazard;
- the names of anyone who treated you, and whether you are still treating;
- your own auto policy declarations page — your uninsured-motorist coverage often matters more than the other driver’s limits.
If the other driver’s insurer has already called you
You are not required to give them a recorded statement, and it is usually a bad idea to give one before you have spoken to a lawyer or finished treating. You can tell them to contact your attorney. That sentence is enough.
