Dial 911 to report your accident and seek medical attention. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s still a good idea to get evaluated. If your injuries require treatment, you may be transported to nearby Doctors Hospital of Augusta or Trinity Hospital of Augusta.
When law enforcement arrives, they’ll write up an accident report, which you’ll want to obtain a copy of for insurance claims and potential legal action.
Ask the other driver or drivers for their name, address, phone number, and insurance information. Urge them to stay on the scene until law enforcement and emergency personnel have arrived.
As you’re able, take photos of the accident scene to document damage to your vehicle, damage to the other vehicle(s), relevant traffic devices like traffic lights or speed limit signs, and skid marks from braking.
You’ll also want to note the exact accident location (e.g. at the intersection of Washington Rd. and Belair Rd.). Documentation like this can be crucial if you need to build a case later on.
Remember: Insurance companies consistently pay more to injury victims who have an attorney than ones who don’t. The sooner you contact a skilled law firm like M. Austin Jackson, the sooner you can recover financial compensation for your damages. As your personal injury attorney, we’ll negotiate with the insurance company and advocate for your right to a fair settlement.

Your settlement will vary depending on the details of your case. Factors that can impact the value of your claim include the severity of your injuries, the extent of your current and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, and degree of fault.
To maximize your compensation, seek immediate medical care and document all expenses and losses. Be sure to consult with a trained personal injury attorney before accepting a settlement offer from the insurance company
Few personal injury cases go to trial. Most are settled out of court through negotiations. However, certain situations may require going to trial to get a fair outcome.
For example, if liability is disputed and the responsible party refuses to accept fault, or if all parties cannot agree to fair compensation during negotiation, the case may end up in the courtroom, where our team will advocate tirelessly on your behalf.
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Every case is unique, and while minor injuries may lead to just a $10,000 settlement, the most severe injuries can generate multi-million dollar results. At M. Austin Jackson, we double and triple-check to make sure that you’re happy with your settlement and that it reflects the entire scope of your injuries and damages.
Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay any upfront costs, and the attorney only gets paid if they win your case.
At M. Austin Jackson, we don’t get paid unless you get paid, and we’re on the same team from day one. Our fees almost always are a percentage of your settlement or verdict.
Your settlement timeline will depend on the severity of your injuries, clarity of liability, and the complexity of the case, among other factors. Simple cases with minor injuries may settle in a matter of months, while more complex cases involving serious injuries can take longer, sometimes taking as long as several years. Cases that go to trial generally take longer to resolve.
