ATLANTA CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States and DeKalb County in Georgia is no exception. A report by the National Safety Council estimated that 42,060 people died in car accidents in 2020. Georgia’s yearly rate rose to 1,600 deaths and counting. Hundreds of car wrecks are reported every day and they are the second leading cause of hospitalizations and ER visits in Georgia.

Car accident victims who have been injured in car crashes often become hot targets for case runners and “ambulance chasers”. High-volume law firms and car wreck attorneys sign up hundreds of personal injury cases each month to churn them over for a quick settlement. The car insurance companies fight tooth and nail to pay the least amount possible because low settlements protect their bottom line.

Some days it feels like a car accident could happen to you at any time and the insurance company just wants to make money off you. Depressing, right? The most important information we want you to know is that your injuries and your case are not just another statistic. You are not just one more accident claim or just a file number in a large personal injury law firm.

We understand that you are a person, we understand your pain and we know that this car wreck has affected your life and health in many ways. We care about your well-being.

I cant say enough good things about this group. They kept me informed the whole way through and made sure I received top dollar for my settlement! If you are in need of a law firm that will keep you informed and guide through every step of the legal process I cannot recommend them enough!!

When I was injured by a drunk & uninsured driver in a catastrophic crash, Bruce was the warm, empathetic, expert guide I needed to navigate the complex legal and insurance systems. My crash had the added complexity of taking place in a different state than my home state. Because Bruce is an active part of the Bike Law network, he had a colleague on call that he trusted in the state where my crash occurred. This was just one of the many ways in which Hagen Rosskopf goes above and beyond for their clients.I wish my crash had never happened, but I am so grateful to have met Bruce & his team. They made the worst months of my life a lot less intimidating, got $50,000 in medical bills paid AND THEN SOME, and made me feel so supported.

I have nothing but great things to say about this law firm. Everyone who I spoke with was friendly and attentive to any of my concerns. The whole process felt seamless and I was guided through every step. Both of my minor sons has suffered injuries in a car accident and Straightaway, they made sure they were seen by the appropriate doctors and was treated for their injuries. My claim with the other drivers insurance was settled quickly and received the maximum settlement. I highly recommend them even if there are possible stipulations you may think there is that can cause issues.

They’re a excellent law group, kind, courteous, and very professional. I got into a wreck a few months ago around the time my daughter died, and a lot was going on and they took care of me. A guy hit me from behind and ran. I thought it would have been a slam dunk case because there were cameras all around the traffic lights, but I was informed that they are just for monitoring traffic, and I could not use them for my defense this was in Atlanta and if you live in Atlanta, you know it’s hard to get a police officer to come out and give you a police report. I stayed at the scene for hours and no one ever came. I even went up to the precinct and they told me that I would have to go back to the scene and wait for an available officer after a while, I had to go I couldn’t stay there all night. so essentially, I had no evidence. It was just my word against the guy who hit me word. After that, I was sure that I wouldn’t get any compensation, for my pain and suffering, and to be quite honest, the situation stresses me out so much I just wanted to give up. I was just praying to the Lord that they would give enough money so I can at least pay my doctor bills, I expressed this to my lawyer and even though I wanted to give up they kept pushing and they fought for me and my brother and got us compensation. They’re excellent courteous people very kind and patient and they really do care. I would definitely suggest them to anybody who is in need of good representation if they did this for me, and I essentially had no evidence to support my case imagine if you did have evidence they are very vigilant in their pursuit of the compensation of their clients

I am satisfied with this company and the ladies that helped me along the way. Alicia Harry was over my case, she had no problem addressing my concerns and giving feedback that was in my best interest. She was patient and allowed me to weigh out my options.Same to the other ladies, they never gave up on me. They fought on my behalf and by the end I was given more than what I asked!Thank you Alicia and the Hagen Team!

I knew I was not going to receive any type of financial settlement due to my medical files not being documented correctly and with a pre existing diagnosis. I didn’t expect anything and certainly asked why would this firm try with the odds against me. This firm settled receiving 100% of the settlement asked for!!! God bless everyone at this firm!! There are no words. There’s GRATITUDE!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!

I absolutely thought there was no way possible I would get help with my medical bills, broken bike etc. from this woman's insurance given that immediately after turning left in front of me, she showed zero concern that I was laying in the road in excruciating pain with broken ribs and torn ligaments. Instead she was more concerned with moving her humongous SUV before the authorities arrived; after telling me I must have hit a pot hole. So despite no plausible witness of the actual crash, Bruce and Maria knew exactly what happened because experienced cyclists don't go over their handlebars unless they are in immediate danger of crashing into something, thus braking instinctively. I was ready to just give up but they pursued it anyway- even driving over to the accident site and verifying what I had said and trying to get camera footage- of which there was none because so few businesses actually have active cameras it turns out! It is not a huge settlement, but all their effort meant the world to me. And given I thought I would get nothing, it felt like the gold at the end of a rainbow....

They basically did very little for my case, lied to me about what I was going to get back and stole all my money. Don’t use these people you’ll be sorry.

My interaction with Hagen Rosskopf Attorneys was an awesome experience during a time, I had no direction in my life. The accident I had caused me to challenge my capability to perform essential daily functions. The law firm was there in my time of distress and assisted me to obtain my independence without worries.

After my bike accident in Inman Park that resulted in a broken bone, the team here was excellent to work with. They responded to emails and calls quickly and kindly, and they offered valuable insight throughout my recovery. Their advocacy for my needs made a very difficult time easier, and we won the case. Definitely recommend to Atlanta area cyclists!

Highly recommend Hagen Rosskopf! The insurance of the guy that hit me dragged this out for over 3 years (pandemic helped drag it out too) but this law firmalways responded quickly for all of my questions. First firm I found was a complete scam but Bruce helped me out. 10/10 would recommend. I hope I never need an attorney for being hit by a car again, but you can bet that if I do, these guys are my first call!

The law firm of Hagen Rosskopf was recommended by a friend to help me sort through the financial, healthcare, and insurance uncertainties and obstacles associated with my involvement in a vehicle accident. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I was given. Matt and Bruce Hagen are highly competent, experienced, and ethical attorneys who well advised me and well prepared and presented my accident case to the relevant institutions. Their support staff, such as Amie Risley and Maria Borowik, are also great. My financial settlement was at the maximum level I could have hoped to receive from the insurance company. I'm very grateful that the Hagen Rosskopf law firm agreed to be my legal representative. I recommend them highly and unequivocally.Jeff Covin

After our 51 year old brother, a nearly professional bicycle rider, lost his life after being hit by a car, my family and I reached out to Bruce and Maria for help. We wanted answers. They were compassionate and understanding combined with years of experience. Our concerns and sorrow were met with open arms. Even before we reached out to them, they were aware of our brother's demise as a result of being so well connected to the biking community. Every step of the way, they maintained communication as they fought for the truth. They are resourceful and diligent in their efforts to bring closure and justice to the harm or injury of your loved one. Since our brother was no longer able to speak for himself, we enlisted Bruce and Maria to help speak on his behalf. We didn't go wrong. We made the right decision. And we would certainly recommend you reaching out to them when your time of need arises as well! You won't go wrong!

I was well cared for by Bruce, Dan and the entire team. They provided superb legal advice and even went to bat for me with Medicare after my case was settled and closed. Medicare incorrectly assumed that certain medical procedures I had were related to my case and they were trying to bill me for reimbursement. The team at Hagen-Rosskopf contacted Medicare on my behalf and had them cease and desist from sending any further letters threatening collection. This above and beyond care is just one example of Hagen-Rosskopf's professionalism and high standards.

I was in a car accident at the beginning of 2023 and while I hope to never be in this situation again, I can confidently recommend Hagen Rosskopf Attorneys at Law to anyone who may need an accident or injury attorney. Throughout my time of having them represent me, I had a dedicated and very responsive team who were quick to reply to all my inquiries and emails and did everything in their power to ensure I was made whole after my accident. I greatly appreciate all of their hard work.

Being in an accident is can be very traumatizing. With that being said Hagen Rosskopf did their due diligence and made sure I was compensated well and at the same time took care and made sure all of my needs were met. They are always so quick to utilize their resources to make sure you are taken care of. They don't only focus on your monetary compensation but on your well being. As horrible as my accident was I'm happy I retained Matt Hagen as my lawyer

My attorney Kendrick McWilliams did a super job advising me regarding a personal injury suit. My car was totaled and I had a neck injury with a long lasting concussion after another driver ran a red light. Her insurance company was not offering enough to even cover my medical expenses. Kendrick negotiated a very fair settlement on my behalf without having to go to court. Give him a call if you need assistance with a lawsuit.

I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle down Memorial Drive. For about a week I was very stressed about the situation on top of the pain I was feeling. My co-worker pointed me to this firm, and once it was in their hands I had nothing to worry about. It's been about 9 months since my accident, and I was able to get all of the medical care I needed, get a new bicycle, and the Hagen Rosskoph was able to get both insurance companies to cover significantly over the cost of my bills and bike. I also was very well attended to; I could call or email them at any time with questions (I had a lot) and they responded in a very timely way, and were quite friendly. Can't recommend highly enough.

I had a very positive experience with Hagen-Rosskopf Law Firm. Everyone was super professional. First and foremost, my health and welfare was of utmost concern to everyone I spoke with in their office…before addressing the matter at hand. I spoke with the office manager, case manager, and lead attorney. Each one was very assuring in their communication to me. The process was thoroughly explained: we all had homework and things to bring back to the table. The process and settlement completed in about 60-days, which was several months shorter than I anticipated. I am completely satisfied with my outcome and highly recommend Hagen-Rosskopf Law Firm #bikelaw especially if you are in an accident while riding your bicycle.

Thank you for all you did for me and my family. My car accident was very a devastating experience. This personal injury law firm helped me get through it as I had no idea of wear to start. My first phone call to Hagen after being released from the hospital ended with me taking a deep breath and a sigh of relief. My stress level was immediately cut in half as they walked me through my next steps on my road to getting back to normal. Your teams experience and clear communication really does relieve so much stress from such a horrendous experience. Just give them a call it’s worth it. You’ll understand in just a few minutes.

Hagen Rosskopf Attorneys At Law came to my rescue after experiencing being hit by a car off of my bike. I remember years ago during a cycling event in Atlanta, I stopped by the bike law tent only to realize there is a law team that stands in our corner as cyclist. My bike was a total lost and I sustained injuries that were less than ideal with a chipped tooth, road rash and a bummed shoulder. I was able to have my bike replaced in a timely manner and all my medical visits weren’t a headache to worry about, because of this awesome team. Kimberly, and Aime were communicative and always kept me in the loop of the case and was able to get me what I deserved and what was fair from my misfortune. I hope I never have to cross this path again but I know for sure, this crew will be the first and last phone call I make!

Hagen Rosskopf es un estudio de abogados de primer nivel, y lo recomiendo, digo esto porque aquí en los Estados Unidos, frente a un accidente de tránsito en el cual te pueden chocar, atropellar, etc, es difícil el poder manejarlo uno mismo.Yo fui atropellado y luego de tres horas del accidente empezaron una serie de trámites con los cuales lidiar. Incluyendo el hospital, la policia, los seguros, mi trabajo, etc, y no sabes por donde empezar.Debido a su amplia experiencia en el mercado,este estudio de abogados sabe realmente cómo manejar estos casos, y como orientarte paso a paso.Así mismo, me ayudaron a solucionar y a salir del problema de forma correcta, devolviendo la tranquilidad a mi familia y a mi.

Simply put, Hagen Rosskopf Attorneys At Law is a team that you can trust. From the moment that I spoke with Bruce, while sitting in the emergency room (during the pandemic) after being hit by a car while riding my bike, my situation felt under control. Knowing that he took the time during a holiday weekend to share helpful suggestions let me know that the understanding, experienced professional I needed was at hand.The Hagen Rosskopf team took immediate action checking to be certain that I had proper medical attention, communicating with the insurance company, and asking the small but often forgotten question how are you doing. Although this was not the best circumstance, I am grateful to have met this group of people and had them looking for my best interests.

Top tier firm.Expertise, compassion, and enthusiasm. You’re not a case, you’re a person.That’s how you can expect to be treated at HRA, with respect and concern.

I had never worked with a personal injury attorney and asked a friend, who works in civil rights, for a recommendation. He only sent me one law firm, Hagen Rosskopf LLC. Kendrick McWilliams took my case and called me whenever I was frustrated to walk me through the process. Every step of the way Kendrick and his team (Shout out to Amie & Jennifer!), were kind and gave me the info I needed to be ensured my case was being handled by experts. They help you make the best out of a bad situation

Very happy with my car accident settlement. My family used Hagan back in early 2000’s and have nothing but good things to say. Whenever I had questions, the firm had answers to help me figure out my way through my first car accident as an adult (without much help from my parents). Thank you!

My case was recently settled following an accident in which I was hit by a car while on my bike in June 2019. My attorney was very responsive and educated me about the process along the way. In the end, my only disappoint rests more with the insurance companies than my legal representation. With injuries that will be with me the rest of my life I really felt the settlement should have been higher.

So my husband used this law firm to represent him. When he was in an accident and he loved everyone he encountered with starting with Erick. Who would email or call regularly with updates or even to just say hey. Amie is the best when it comes to demands she will do her best to get you most money she can.

When I was hit by the first driver charged with a Vulnerable Road User Ordinance violation in the southeastern USA, I knew it was important that justice be served as a precedent for future cases that may occur if other people riding bikes are illegally passed or hit by drivers of motor vehicles. I already knew Bruce Hagen from his bike law education, advocacy and outreach work (and had, in fact, recently attended a ghost bike placement at which he was present as well), so there was no doubt I would choose the services of Bike Law Georgia when it became clear that I had to take a positive action after a negative event. Bruce and Maria Borowik were so compassionate and helpful during this ordeal. Bruce assessed my situation, communicated throughout the legal process, and helped achieve an outcome that met my specific goals. I give Bike Law Georgia my whole-hearted endorsement.

Do I Need A Car Accident Attorney?

A personal injury law firm that is only interested in signing up as many cases as possible will tell you that you MUST retain an auto accident attorney. The honest answer is that you may not need a lawyer. If you only have a small amount of medical bills after the car accident you may be able to resolve your accident claim and property damage directly with the insurance adjuster without having to pay attorneys fees. This may also apply to certain fender-bender situations or minor collisions.

Our advice is to schedule a consultation with an Atlanta car accident lawyer before you talk to any representative from an insurance company. There is no cost to discuss your case and no obligation to retain an attorney. Car accidents involving DUI, commercial vehicles, tractor trailers, injured minors, contested liability, punitive damages, etc. can have added layers of complexity that should be handled by a competent personal injury lawyer. The insurance companies will try their hardest to pay you as little as possible and that is when an experienced personal injury lawyer in Atlanta, GA can make a world of a difference.

How Can A Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me?

A dedicated Atlanta law firm with a competent car accident lawyer and a team of case managers, litigation paralegals, and legal assistants focused on your case can help you with the following:

Investigate: a thorough investigation of the car accident includes obtaining the police reports and any other additional incident reports, requesting any available body cam footage, finding video footage from cameras in the area, talking to witnesses, studying the scene of the crash, researching all insurance coverage available, and working with experts. A good car wreck attorney is also a good detective who can find key information to build a strong case.
Determine who is liable: the at-fault driver may not be the only party that should be held responsible. There could be more at-fault parties if the driver that hit you was driving a commercial vehicle, if they were under the scope of employment, if they were driving for Uber or Lyft, if they were employed by a government entity, if the at fault driver was drunk driving and dram shop law applies, etc. It is crucial to identify each of these additional parties involved in a car accident and to put them on notice properly.
Collect the documents necessary to prove your damages: this includes requesting and analyzing medical bills and medical records, identifying additional medical expenses for your injuries, documenting future medical costs, and helping you find the necessary documentation for lost wages, loss of business, property damage and other economic losses. If you were improperly identified as the person at fault for the crash, a seasoned car crash lawyer can help to establish the accurate liability facts, fight any ticket citations and present the truth to the insurance company and to a jury in a courtroom.
Communicate and negotiate your claim with the insurance company: your attorney’s team will set up your personal injury claim and confirm the limits of every insurance coverage available. They will handle all communication with the insurance adjusters freeing you to focus entirely on your medical care and recovering your health. Your auto accident attorney will negotiate your claim with the insurance company and present you with the best offer of settlement possible.
File a lawsuit, litigate and defend you in court: in some instances, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit in order to preserve the statute of limitations, or to establish liability, or to encourage an insurance company to do the right thing. The litigation process can be long and confusing, a personal injury trial attorney and litigation paralegal will not just handle the pleadings and depositions but they will also communicate with you regularly and explain every step of the process. Having a litigation trial lawyer from the beginning of your case will give you the best shot in court.

For those involved in a car accident in the DeKalb County area, it's essential to know your legal rights and the potential for compensation

Our Commitment To You

We can’t promise you that you will recover millions from your personal injury case. No car accident lawyer should make you any promises about what they can settle your case for. We can’t promise you that your health will be fully restored. We can’t bring back your loved one lost in a senseless auto accident. We can’t assure you a painless, stress-free, easy journey after your car wreck.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire A Car Crash Lawyer?

There is no charge to call us and discuss your case with one of our Atlanta car accident lawyers via a free consultation. If you decide to trust us with your case, there is no up-front cost or payment required to retain us as we operate on a contingency fee basis.

This means that we don’t get paid until you get paid. Our fee is a percentage of the total settlement, judgement or award that is obtained once or we have successfully resolved your claim. We don’t have expensive hourly rates or fees up front. It is in our interest to fight for a fair settlement.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations In Georgia?

In the state of Georgia, the law allows for an injured person or car accident victim to file a lawsuit up to two years from the date of when the traffic accident happened. The same applies to wrongful death claims, the statute of limitations expires two years from the date of the death.

If a lawsuit is not filed before the statute of limitations expires, you may be prevented from ever seeking justice through the court system. There are a few exceptions under Georgia law allowing for the statute of limitations to be “tolled” or extended for a period of time. If the at-fault driver received a ticket citation, then the statute is extended or “tolled” for the period of time that transpired between the date of the ticket and the date in which the ticket was resolved. For example, if you were hit by a truck on August 1 and the truck driver went to court 60 days later, the statute of limitations would be 2 years plus 60 days from the date of the truck wreck.

Don’t wait until you are close to the statute of limitations. Call us today, let’s talk about your car wreck and discuss your legal options. Talking to a car accident attorney is free of charge and may keep you from missing this critical legal deadline.

What If The Car That Hit Me Doesn't Have Insurance?

We can’t control who hits us and what kind of insurance they have or if any. But we can control what insurance coverage we have on our own vehicle. If you find any useful legal advice in our website, it should be this: make sure every vehicle in your household has add on UM/UIM insurance coverage. Un-insured or under-insured motorist coverage is an additional coverage you can add on to your insurance policy that covers you when you are the victim of a hit-&-run, when the car that hit you doesn’t have any insurance coverage and when there isn’t enough insurance coverage available. The minimal liability insurance limit requirement in Georgia is $25,000. In collisions that cause extensive life-threatening injuries, $25,000 doesn’t even cover the cost of the emergency room bill.

What Can I Be Compensated For After A Car Accident?

Under Georgia law you can seek compensation for a range of economic and non-economic losses.

Medical bills, prescriptions and medical devices
Ambulance and transportation expenses
Ongoing or long-term medical care
Lost income including lost wages, loss of business and loss of earning capacity in the future
Punitive damages
Long-term and partial disabilities
Lost or diminished quality of life
Loss of consortium
Emotional distress
Pain and suffering
Funeral and burial expenses
Property damage including damaged goods inside the vehicle like car seats, laptops, etc.

How Long Will It Take To Settle My Car Accident Claim?

Every car accident case is different and there are a variety of factors that can come into play in the timeline of your case. These are some common examples:

How much time you need to complete the medical treatment necessary for your injuries.
If liability is not clear and/or the insurance company involved is contesting liability.
If the at-fault driver is deceased and probate court is involved.
If your personal injury claim cannot be resolved without filing a lawsuit.
If your case did not settle in mediation and you are now waiting for a trial date.
How efficient and swift your legal representation is in handling your case.

The personal injury attorneys at Hagen Rosskopf are committed to working swiftly to minimize unnecessary delays in resolving your case. Please do understand that we can’t always control unforeseen events and legal complications.
