How do I prove the other driver was intoxicated?
A breath test can support proof of intoxication, but it is not the only evidence. Atlanta Auto Law also reviews the police report, blood test references, field sobriety observations, witness accounts, and crash facts. The claim must connect that evidence to the collision and your injuries. We then organize the medical and financial records that document your losses.
What happens at each stage of the claim?
The claim moves from intake and evidence review to fault analysis, loss documentation, insurance negotiation, and possible litigation. We first collect the crash report, medical records, photographs, and insurer messages. Next, we assess liability and prepare the claim. If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, mediation, discovery, or trial may follow.
Which records should I bring to the first consultation?
The most useful records include the police report, medical records, bills, wage information, photographs, witness details, and insurance messages. Bring what you have, even if the file is incomplete. Our team can identify the missing pieces and explain how each record may support fault, injury, or financial loss.
Who is a good fit for this service, and who needs a different service?
People injured by a driver suspected of impairment are a good fit for this service. We assess car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes. A driver facing criminal charges needs DUI defense, which is a separate legal service. Wrongful death claims also require a distinct review when a crash causes a death.
What does the insurance company need before it reviews the claim?
An insurer may request crash details, medical records, bills, wage information, and a statement about the injury. We review those requests before you respond. The claim should present consistent facts and supported losses. Insurance negotiation becomes harder when records conflict, so we organize the evidence before making a demand.
When should I preserve evidence after the collision?
Evidence should be preserved as soon as possible after the collision. Save photographs, messages, vehicle information, medical papers, police documents, and notes about what you remember. Do not edit or delete relevant material. Early record keeping helps us compare your account with the report, witness evidence, and treatment history.
