Atlanta, GA asked in Uncategorized for Georgia

Q: I took a left turn at 10 pm on a poorly lit road. I was hit by a driver without headlights on. Am I at fault?

We have witnesses and the police reports indicates the other driver is at fault. State farm is suggesting the liability is mine since it was a left turn, even though it was 10 pm. I am fighting for liability and have some injuries I would like settled.

A: Get a lawyer (like me) and they will handle that as well as protect you from the trickery the insurance companies depend on to boost profits. They KEEP the money they dont pay for claims, and are known to take advantage of folks who DIY their cases. There is a reason lawyers are paid well, it is a war with Insurance.
