Auto Accident Frequently Asked Questions
You may have numerous questions if you’ve been involved in a car accident. At Wiggins Casto Barrow, PA, we work hard to help you learn about your options to seek compensation. Below are answers to several frequently asked questions about auto accident injury recovery:
What Is A “Fault State?”
When it comes to fault assessed in an auto accident, some states apply a no-fault principle and others are at-fault states. Georgia is a “fault state.” This means that drivers have to pay for accidents they cause due to negligent actions. This also means it’s crucial to be able to prove who caused the accident and why in order to determine who is responsible for paying the damages.

What Should I Say If An Insurance Adjustor Contacts Me?
It is best to be wary of insurance adjusters. Remember that they are working for the insurance company, which is trying to reduce your claim. Your goal should be to maximize your claim so that all of your costs are covered, which is why it is best to have your legal team at your side before answering any questions. Don’t make any recorded statements, apologize or say anything that implies that you caused the crash.
Should I Still See A Doctor If I Don’t Think I Suffered Any Serious Injuries After My Georgia Auto Accident?
Yes. Some injuries may be invisible to you, but they could still be very serious. For example, some people suffer from a type of brain bleed known as a subdural hematoma, which gets worse – and can even become fatal – over time. You need to talk to medical professionals to ensure you don’t have these hidden injuries – and to get official medical records.
Who Pays For My Medical Expenses If I Am Injured In An Uber/Lyft/Rideshare Accident?
These accidents are often complex, and there may be multiple potential sources for compensation. You may be able to sue your rideshare driver or another driver who caused the crash. If this compensation isn’t suitable, you may also be able to sue Uber or Lyft. They typically have their own insurance policies.
What Parties, Other Than The Driver, Could I Potentially Seek Compensation From After My Auto Accident?
If you’ve been in an accident with a commercial vehicle, you may be able to sue the driver’s employer. If an accident was caused by a defective part, you may be able to sue the manufacturer or distributor of that part or the repair company entrusted with the vehicle’s repairs.
