ATLANTA RESOURCE COLLECTION
Insurance questions after an Atlanta accident
Organize the correspondence and the questions you want answered. Individual advice requires review of the actual documents and circumstances.
Keep the full communication
Preserve the message, attachments, sender information and any stated response date. A screenshot of a single sentence can omit important context. Keep a simple record of calls and distinguish your notes from the sender’s actual wording.
Ask about statements and signatures
Tell an attorney if you have received a request for a statement, release or proposed agreement. Ask about its effect before making assumptions. These resources do not tell you to ignore policy requirements or delay a time-sensitive response.
Separate the issues
Vehicle repairs, expenses and injury questions may involve different documents or contacts. Ask which issues a proposed engagement covers. A claim number does not establish the value or outcome of a matter.
