A common mistake is discussing fault before your injuries are known.<\/p>\n<p>The State Patrol is involved in investigating fatal and major-injury crashes, and victims or family members can request the status of an investigation (<a href=\"https:\/\/dps.georgia.gov\/victim-assistance\">Georgia Department of Public Safety<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>How long each step takes depends on your treatment, the insurer&#8217;s response, and whether the case goes to court.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Clients Work With T.

That share is not joint liability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nonparties.<\/strong> The fault of everyone who contributed to the injury is considered, regardless of whether that person was, or could have been, named as a party to the suit.
