FAQ

Personal injury clients who have been injured in car crashes, slip and falls or workplace injuries will not owe us any fees until their case is over, and you only pay us if we win. The Cotto Law Group works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we are paid a percentage of the settlement we negotiate on your behalf or the verdict we win you in court. 

Do you think you’ve found a lawyer who will charge less than The Cotto Law Group? We will match any other Atlanta personal injury lawyer’s contingency fee rate. 

Maybe. Personal injury cases are rarely black and white, since there are many factors that can potentially impact liability, negligence and available compensation. For example, if someone without car insurance hits you, it may be hard to collect any compensation unless they have a lot of other assets like real estate or a high income. 

The best way to find out whether or not you have a case is to contact The Cotto Law Group at (770) 232-7752. Our staff is available to take your call 24/7. 

If you were injured in a car crash in Atlanta, you should probably call a personal injury lawyer. People involved in car accidents often don’t realize the insurance company isn’t looking out for their best interests until it’s too late. The insurance may try to pressure you into accepting an unfair claim settlement offer. Don’t accept any offer from the insurance company until you’ve spoken with a car accident attorney. 

If you weren’t injured in a car crash and only your vehicle was damaged, you likely won’t be able to find an attorney to represent you. In those cases, you should work directly with the other driver’s insurance company. 

There’s rarely an easy answer to this question. Your lawyer first needs to analyze your case, take into account the responsible party’s insurance coverage and investigate the liability of you and the other party. 

If you share some of the fault, you’ll likely receive less compensation than you would if the other person was completely responsible. If the negligent party has no insurance or the minimum coverage required by law, it may severely limit the amount you can recover. 

It’s also not always clear exactly how much compensation you’ll be eligible to receive right after an accident. You and your attorney should always wait until you have a clear picture of how much your medical costs and lost wages will eventually total before settling on damages.
