Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company already offered to pay my medical bills?

An early offer to cover medical bills isn't the same as a fair settlement for the full value of a claim, including lost wages and pain and suffering, and accepting it can close out the ability to recover more later.

How much does it cost to consult with Conn Law about a potential case?

Nothing. Consultations are free, and cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning there's no fee unless and until there's a recovery.

What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia?

Usually two years from the date of the injury under Georgia's statute of limitations, with shorter notice deadlines, sometimes as little as six months, for claims against a city or county, and different rules in certain malpractice circumstances.

Does Conn Law handle cases outside of Savannah?

Yes. The firm serves clients from offices in Savannah and Atlanta and handles matters statewide.

What should I bring to a consultation about a possible case?

Any photographs, medical records, insurance correspondence, or police reports already in hand, though none of it's required to have a first talk.
