Personal Injury FAQs

Question 1

How Do Legal Fees Work for Injury Cases?

Accepted Answer

At The Law Office of Joshua W. Branch, LLC, we operate on a contingency-fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no hourly fees. We only receive a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you. Our priority is ensuring that every injured person has access to exceptional representation — without financial barriers.

Question 2

How Long Do I Have to File an Injury Claim in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to filing a personal injury claim in Georgia, time is of the essence. In most circumstances, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit or have your claim resolved. This is known as the statute of limitations. However, it is very important to obtain our services as soon as possible after an incident due to evidence that could be lost, witnesses that need to be identified, and countless other items that can only occur immediately after a crash or an incident causing serious injury. If you do not file a lawsuit within two years from the date of the incident, your claim will be forever barred from recovery. Filing your claim as soon as possible, with the help of our Athens Personal Injury Lawyer at The Law Office of Joshua W. Branch, LLC, greatly increases your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome and putting this chapter of your life behind you.

Question 3

How Often Will I Receive Updates on My Case?

Accepted Answer

Communication is one of our top priorities. Our clients receive regular updates and always have access to our team for questions or concerns. We believe that transparency builds trust, and we want you to feel confident and informed through every step of your case.

Question 4

How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?

Accepted Answer

The timeline of a personal injury case can vary depending on factors such as the severity of injuries, the complexity of the facts, and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate fairly. Some cases resolve within a few months, while others require litigation and can take longer. Rest assured, we pursue every avenue to resolve cases efficiently while still maximizing your recovery.

Question 5

Can I Still Recover Compensation If My Injury Appeared Days After the Accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's not uncommon for symptoms to develop hours or even days after an accident due to adrenaline and shock. It's important to seek medical care as soon as possible and document your symptoms. Our office will guide you through this process to ensure your condition and its cause are clearly established.

Question 6

What If I Don't Have Health Insurance?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have health insurance, or cannot afford out-of-pocket treatment, our firm can help connect you with medical providers who may be able to treat you under a letter of protection. This means they agree to wait for payment until your case resolves, allowing you to receive the care you need without delay.
