  • What steps should I take after a car accident?

    After a car accident, most people experience some degree of shock. However, there are certain steps that should be taken to help build a strong case. If possible, the premise liability lawyers from our firm recommend doing the following:


    • Call the police
    • Take photographs and videos of the accident scene, the vehicles involved, and any other important evidence
    • Talk to any witnesses and get their contact information
    • Get insurance information from the other driver
    • See a doctor

    Seeing a doctor is important even if you believe your injuries are minor and even if you think you have no injuries at all.


    According to InjuredCallToday.com, motor vehicle accidents make up about 52% of all personal injury cases. If you have been injured in a car accident, our lawyers in Georgia can help you get the compensation you need to recover.

  • Should I contact my insurance company directly?

    With our 20 years of experience speaking with these companies, we will contact them on your behalf to make sure you are getting the most out of your coverage and services with us. To get started, contact the slip and fall lawyer team at The Cornwell Firm.

  • Should I take photos of the accident?

    Taking photographs and videos of the accident scene – whether you were involved in a car accident, department store slip and fall, premises liability accident, or other type of accident – can prove to be very beneficial as you go through the legal process. Accident scene photographs and videos taken on your cell phone can be used as evidence in the investigation of your case. Bring any photos you have to your consultation with the personal injury lawyers at The Cornwell Firm so they can make a recommendation.

  • How do I know if I have a personal injury accident case?

    A good way to know if you have a personal injury case is to talk to an experienced personal injury accident lawyer. One of the lawyers from our firm can review the details of your case. Whether you've been injured in a department store slip and fall or another type of accident, we know how the system works and what evidence matters. We can be honest and upfront with you about your specific case. Helping people impacted by personal injury accidents is what we do best, which is why we want to meet with you right away.

  • Who is going to pay my medical bills in the meantime?

    Your car insurance carrier will cover expenses in the short term. You will work directly with the auto insurance company for any medical expenses and billing information. For more information and assistance, reach out to the premise liability lawyers at The Cornwell Firm.

  • Do you provide emergency consultations and hospital visits?

    Yes, emergency consultations and hospital visits are available. Please contact us for more information on how to get started with a personal injury accident lawyer.

  • Am I eligible for compensation if someone else caused my accident?

    If you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and suffering. It is important to speak to local personal injury lawyers in Atlanta, GA about your legal options, preferably before you speak to your insurance company and the other driver’s insurance company.


    Remember: Insurance companies may offer you much less than your case is worth. Insurance companies may even try to get you to accept a settlement immediately after the accident and before you have finished treating your injuries. A personal injury attorney can help you seek maximum compensation for all damages and expenses associated with your accident.


  • What is a contingency fee?

    A contingency fee is a charge based on the outcome of your case. This fee may include work costs, filing fees, and other necessary litigation expenses. From personal injury cases to insurance claim denials, turn to our experienced team to stand by you throughout your case.

  • Are you 'no recovery, no fee'?

    Yes, you do not pay any fees or case expenses unless and until your personal injury accident lawyer gets a recovery in your case.

  • Can I choose my own doctor if I’m injured in a personal injury accident?

    In most cases, yes, you can choose your own doctor to treat your personal injury accident injuries. There are certain circumstances, however, where an insurance company may try to dictate which doctor treats your injuries. That’s why it’s always wise to check first with a personal injury accident lawyer. We may be able to help you choose your own doctor so you can get the medical care you deserve on your own terms.
