Hello, my name is Attorney Jonathan Perazzo, owner of the Perazzo Law Firm. Today, I want to discuss a crucial decision many of you might face: how to choose the right car accident attorney in Atlanta. Let’s explore the key factors to consider to ensure you make the best choice for your case.
Key Factors in Choosing the Right Attorney
- Comfort and Trust
You need an attorney you feel comfortable with—someone who dedicates their practice to handling cases like yours. They should have the time and resources to answer all your questions and educate you throughout the process. - Experience Matters
Don’t hesitate to ask tough questions:- How many years have you been practicing?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- Direct Access to an Attorney
If you’re not speaking directly to an attorney or your questions are not answered satisfactorily, insist on an appointment with an attorney to discuss your claim in detail. Quality communication is essential, and your attorney should clearly explain the positives, negatives, and potential outcomes of your case.
Understanding the Key Pillars of Your Claim: M.I.L.
When evaluating your claim, remember the acronym M.I.L.—Money, Injury, and Liability. These three factors will largely determine the value of your case and your potential compensation.
- Money
- Where will the compensation come from?
- It could be the at-fault driver, vehicle owner, establishment owner, their insurance, or even an uninsured motorist policy.
- Injury
- The severity of your injuries directly affects the value of your claim. The more significant the injury, the higher the potential compensation.
- Liability
- In Florida, as of 2023, if you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you are ineligible for compensation. This is a critical factor to consider when building your case.
The Importance of Uninsured Motorist Coverage
I strongly advise having uninsured motorist coverage, especially in Florida. This type of insurance protects you in situations such as:
- Being hit by an uninsured driver.
- Being a passenger in someone else’s car during an accident.
Uninsured motorist coverage is a safeguard against many unforeseen circumstances and is often overlooked, but it can make a huge difference in your case.
