How an Auto Accident Attorney from Spaulding Injury Law Will Seek Compensation for You
Our dedicated team of attorneys, investigators, paralegals, and experts work together to get substantial financial recoveries for our clients. We’ll fight as a team for your recovery in Marietta, too.
Getting a judgment or settlement for you requires us to:
Set the Record Straight About Your Auto Accident
We will investigate your auto accident in Marietta and set the record straight. We will get our account of the accident from reliable sources, including:
- Eyewitness testimony
- A police report
- Video footage, which may come from traffic cameras, security cameras, dash cameras, cell phones, and other sources
- Your own account of the accident
- An expert’s reconstruction of the collision
The weight of the evidence will prove how your accident happened. Others—including liable parties—may have a false account of the collision. We’ll prove them wrong.
Determine Who Owes You Money for Your Damages
Liability for car accidents typically lies with negligent parties. Liable parties can include a motorist, the manufacturer of a defective vehicle, a municipality that allows streets to reach poor condition, or anyone else who contributes to an auto accident.
Multiple parties can be liable for an accident. Your lawyer from Spaulding Injury Law will identify everyone who owes you money for your damages.
Get Evidence Proving Liable Parties’ Negligence
Negligence is any behavior that a reasonable person would not do. In the context of a motor vehicle accident, negligence can include speeding, driving drunk, or tailgating. Negligence can also include manufacturing an unsafe vehicle.
Your lawyer from Spaulding Injury Law will secure any evidence of negligence that caused your accident. We may even hire an expert to show how your accident happened using a digital reconstruction.
Document Your Damages in the Greatest Possible Detail
We stick to a winning negotiating tactic. Our lawyers document clients’ damages in as much detail as possible. This way, if liable parties try to claim your case is worth less than we say, the documentation will back us up.
Types of documentation we use in Marietta auto accident cases are:
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Images of injuries, including CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs
- Doctors’ testimony about the client’s injuries, recovery timeframe, and medical expenses
- Mental health experts’ testimony about accident-related trauma
- Past pay records showing how much income the accident has cost the client
We may find additional proof of your damages. Without exception, the Spaulding Injury Law team secures all documentation that could help our clients get money for their damages.
Fight for You During Settlement Negotiations
Our lawyers will represent you in settlement negotiations. This is the point where we can resolve your case, and we’ll present all relevant evidence and documentation. Of course, liable parties must agree to a fair settlement offer. Otherwise, we’ll likely recommend proceeding to court.
Complete a Trial, If It Proves Necessary in Your Case
A trial is not always necessary in auto accident cases. Often, liable parties will see our case and agree to a fair settlement. However, if going to court is the right option for your case, Spaulding Injury Law will take your case to trial.
A trial may require us to:
- Present evidence of defendants’ negligence
- Present documentation of your accident-related damages
- Explain how we calculated your damages
- Present, question, and cross-examine witnesses
- Make oral arguments supporting your case
- Argue against the civil defense attorney’s case
Juries often reward auto accident victims with substantial compensation. If we take your case to trial in Marietta (or elsewhere), we’ll aim to win.
Our other duties in Marietta car accident cases include the following:
- Dealing with (and protecting you from) insurance companies
- Managing all case-related communications
- Completing and submitting all paperwork promptly and accurately
- Informing you about your case from the moment we begin to the final step of the legal or claims process
If you’ve been hurt, you deserve a legal team that takes the time to talk, listen, and fight for personal injury victims’ best interests every step of the way. That is Spaulding Injury Law.
What Can You Expect After A Collision?
You should have already received correspondence and likely a call from the at-fault person’s insurance company wanting to talk about the accident. BE CAREFUL. While you do not want to be rude, you do not help yourself by providing too much information. Certainly do not agree to a recorded interview about what happened. The insurance company is only doing this in hopes of using it against you in the future.
The insurance company will send you an authorization form to fill out so the adjuster can get all of your medical records and bills. Seems innocent enough, right? No. Do not sign the authorization. They will likely tell you it is only to get records for your treatment since the accident. However, that is not always true. The authorization will allow them to get all of your medical records for as far back as they want to go to see if they can find something to argue you were hurt before this accident.
Instead of providing the authorization, you want to control the flow of information to them. We tell our clients to simply tell the adjuster you will supply him or her with all relevant medical records and bills as you seek treatment.

Vehicle Repairs (and Other Property-Related Expenses)
If your vehicle suffered damage during the collision, we’ll include the cost of vehicle repairs in your case. The type of car you drive, the type of accident you were in, and the severity of vehicle damage will affect the cost of repairs.
If your vehicle took total damage during the accident, we’ll aim for liable parties to cover the cost of a new vehicle.
