We Battle with Insurance Companies for Your Best Outcome

If you are injured, unable to work, and have bills piling up, it might be tempting to accept a small check from the other party’s insurance company. You should know, however, that insurance companies typically prefer to settle as quickly and as inexpensively as possible, while you are still vulnerable and understandably hoping you will not get worse. Don’t let them take advantage of you because you could have long term health issues that result in medical and hospital bills for years to come. A personal injury lawyer in Georgia is committed to your best interests.

That is why you should contact George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers today. Our team of lawyers, investigators, and other legal professionals will assess your case and seek the maximum compensation available. We understand the complexities of personal injury cases. We pursue a fair and prompt settlement for you. However, our attorneys will not hesitate to take your case to court if necessary. We invite you to call 888-612-7001 for your free consultation.

Here is Our Process for Making You Whole

Our Georgia injury lawyers make your case a priority. We understand that you are recovering from injuries or mourning the death of a loved one. Your questions are promptly answered, and you will be kept informed of our progress. It is our goal to make you whole by recovering damages through this process:

We arrange for you to be examined by a medical professional (if you have not been) regardless of your health insurance status.
We obtain copies of all relevant expenses, bills, and losses that you have because of the accident.
We gather police reports, witness statements, and accident scene photographs to fully evaluate your case.
We review relevant laws and legal precedents.

After we have a clear and concise understanding of your case, we speak with the insurance company on your behalf. Our Georgia injury lawyers have successfully negotiated for thousands of clients¹. Also, you should not have to deal with insurance companies while you are healing. They know when you are weak.

Remember, you will not pay attorney fees unless and until we have recovered compensation.* We encourage you to arrange your free consultation today in your home, at the hospital, or at our office. Please call George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers anytime, day or night, at 888-612-7001.
