Taking the step to consult with an attorney after a severe accident in Atlanta or anywhere across Georgia is a crucial decision for your peace of mind and financial recovery. To maximize your time and begin building a strong legal strategy from day one, being prepared for your initial meeting makes a tremendous difference.
At Castan, Lecca & Boeschen, we offer a completely free consultation for car accident and workers' compensation cases. We want to emphasize our firm policy regarding service consultations right from the start: our free consultations apply solely and exclusively to personal injury and workplace accident cases. By strict firm rule, all immigration consultations are paid, without exception, and carry a mandatory $150 fee.
Below, we detail the essential documents you should gather, the key questions our legal team will ask, and what you can expect once your free consultation concludes.
Essential documents to bring to your appointment
While you should not worry if you do not have every single document readily available, bringing as much information as possible allows us to analyze your claim with greater accuracy. We recommend gathering:
- Official reports and police documentation: If you were in a car crash, bring a copy of the official police report (Georgia Motor Vehicle Crash Report) or the crash exchange slip provided by the officer pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 40-6-273. If you suffered a workplace accident, bring copies of any incident reports filed with your employer.
- Medical records and bills: Hospital discharge paperwork, doctor's notes, prescriptions, follow-up appointment schedules, and bills from ambulance or physical therapy providers.
- Insurance information: Auto insurance cards, policy details regarding Uninsured Motorist coverage (UM/UIM under O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11), and contact details for the at-fault party's insurance adjuster.
- Evidence from the scene: Photographs of vehicle damage, crash scene photos, skid marks, visible physical injuries, and contact details for any eyewitnesses.
- Proof of financial losses: Recent pay stubs or employment records documenting lost wages caused by your inability to work.
What questions the firm will ask you
During the consultation, our attorneys will focus on understanding every angle of your situation. This is not an interrogation; it is a transparent conversation to assess the legal viability of your claim. We will ask:
- How and where did the accident occur? We will review the chronological details of the crash or workplace injury in Atlanta.
- What physical injuries did you sustain and what treatment have you received? We will examine your current pain level and medical compliance.
- Have you spoken with or given recorded statements to insurance adjusters? We will check if the insurer is attempting to allege comparative fault under Georgia's negligence statute (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33).
What to expect after the consultation
By the end of your meeting, you will have complete clarity. We will provide an honest assessment of whether you have a strong case and outline the exact legal path forward. If you choose to retain our firm, you will sign a contingency fee agreement: you pay no upfront out-of-pocket costs, as we only receive a fee if we successfully win your case.
From that moment on, our legal team will take over all communications with insurance adjusters, gather missing public records, and build an aggressive strategy to protect your rights well within the two-year deadline set by Georgia's statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33).
