Get Justice After Your Accident
Have you been seriously hurt in an accident that wasn’t your fault? Are mounting medical bills and lost wages crushing your family’s finances while insurance companies offer lowball settlements? You’re not alone. Every day in Atlanta, hardworking people suffer injuries due to others’ negligence, and they face an uphill battle to get fair compensation.
Cumberland Law Group stands ready to level the playing field.
Critical Steps to Take After Your Accident
Document Everything
Take photos of accident scene, vehicles, and injuries from multiple angles if possible. Get contact information and insurance details from all parties involved, plus names and phone numbers of any witnesses. Obtain the police report number and responding officer’s badge number for follow-up.
Preserve All Records and Receipts
Keep all medical records, bills, and treatment documentation in one organized file. Save receipts for any accident-related expenses including medications, medical equipment, and transportation to appointments. Create a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and how injuries affect your daily activities.
Protect Your Legal Rights
Don’t sign anything from insurance companies without legal review, as these documents often contain hidden waivers of your rights. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters who are trained to minimize your claim value. Never discuss fault, apologize at the scene, or post about the accident on social media where insurance companies can monitor your activity.
Insurance Company Tactics to Watch For
Insurance adjusters are trained professionals whose job is to minimize payouts.
Common tactics include:
Quick Settlement Offers Early lowball offers before you know the full extent of your injuries and expenses.
Requesting Recorded Statement They’ll use your words against you to deny or reduce your claim.
Surveillance Insurance companies may hire investigators to follow you and document activities that contradict your injury claims.
Medical Records Fishing Expeditions Requesting extensive medical histories to find pre-existing conditions they can blame for your current injuries.

Most frequently asked questions and answers
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or judgment.
How long will my case take?
Simple cases may resolve in 3-6 months, while complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability can take 1-2 years or more. We work efficiently while ensuring we don’t settle for less than your case is worth.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. Initial offers are typically far below fair value. Insurance companies expect negotiation and often reserve their best offers for cases with legal representation.
What if I was partially at fault?
You may still recover compensation under Georgia’s comparative negligence rule, as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the accident.
