STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

We want to make sure you get all your questions answered.

Question 1: How Much Will It Cost Me to Hire Bob Stein?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing unless we win your case.

Here's how it works: You pay zero upfront fees, zero hourly charges, and zero hidden costs. I advance all the expenses - court costs, expert witnesses, medical records, everything. If I don't recover money for you, you owe me nothing.

My fee only comes from your settlement or verdict, which means I'm as motivated as you are to get the maximum compensation possible. You get the same high-quality representation whether you're a millionaire or living paycheck to paycheck.

The bottom line: You can afford me because you don't pay unless you win.

Question 2: What If I Don't Think I Have a Strong Case?

Let me be the judge of that. In 40 years, I've seen cases that looked hopeless turn into six-figure settlements.

Here's what most people don't realize: Insurance companies are experts at making you think your case is worthless. They'll say things like "it was just a minor accident" or "you seem fine to me." Meanwhile, they're hoping you don't discover that herniated disc or realize your headaches are from a concussion.

I've had clients who were told they had "no case" by insurance companies, only to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars once we investigated properly.

The consultation is free and there's no obligation. What do you have to lose by asking?

Question 3: How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?

Most cases settle within 6-12 months, but I'll never rush your case just to close it quickly.

Here's the truth: Simple car accident cases often resolve in 3-6 months. More complex cases involving serious injuries or truck accidents can take 12-18 months. Cases that go to trial (less than 5% of all cases) may take 18-24 months.

But here's what matters more than speed: getting you every dollar you deserve. I've seen lawyers push clients to settle fast for less money. I won't do that to you.

I'd rather take the time to get you $100,000 than rush you into a $20,000 settlement.

Question 4: Will the Insurance Company Retaliate If I Hire a Lawyer?

Actually, the opposite happens. Insurance companies take you more seriously and often settle for more money when you're represented by an experienced attorney.

Here's why: Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them. When you're unrepresented, it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. They know they can use tactics against you that they can't use against me.

Once I'm representing you, they know:

They can't trick you into saying something that hurts your case

They can't lowball you because I know what cases are really worth

They can't delay forever because I'll take them to court

They're dealing with someone who's done this 20,000+ times before

Insurance companies actually prefer dealing with experienced lawyers because it leads to faster, fairer settlements.

Question 5: What If I Was Partially at Fault for My Accident?

You can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Georgia follows a "comparative negligence" rule that protects you.

Here's how it works: Even if you were 30% at fault, you can still recover 70% of your damages. I've won cases where my clients were 40% at fault and still recovered substantial settlements.

For example: If your case is worth $100,000 and you were 25% at fault, you'd still recover $75,000. Don't let the insurance company convince you that any fault on your part means you get nothing - that's not how Georgia law works.

The key is having an experienced attorney who knows how to minimize your percentage of fault and maximize your recovery.

Question 6: How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Really Worth?

Probably a lot more than the insurance company will tell you. Most people are shocked to learn what their case is actually worth.

Your case value includes:

All medical expenses (past and future)

Lost wages (past and future earning capacity)

Pain and suffering (often the largest component)

Property damage (vehicle repair/replacement)

Loss of enjoyment of life

Permanent disability or disfigurement

Insurance companies hope you only think about medical bills and lost wages. But in Georgia, you're entitled to much more. I've had cases where medical bills were $10,000 but the settlement was $150,000 because of pain, suffering, and future impacts.

The only way to know your case's true value is to have an experienced attorney evaluate all your damages.

Question 7: What If the Insurance Company Already Made Me an Offer?

Don't accept it yet. First offers from insurance companies are almost always lowball offers designed to get you to settle before you know your rights.

Here's the pattern I see constantly:

Insurance offer: $5,000

Actual case value: $50,000+

Final settlement with my help: $45,000-$60,000

Insurance companies are counting on you being grateful for any money and not knowing what you're really entitled to. They make these quick offers hoping you'll take the money and sign a release before you realize your injuries are more serious than you thought.

Even if you've already been offered money, call me. I can often negotiate a much higher settlement, and the consultation is free.

Question 8: Why Should I Choose Bob Stein Over Other Personal Injury Lawyers?

Because I've been doing this longer, better, and with more heart than almost anyone in Georgia.

Experience: 40+ years and 20,000+ cases. I've seen every trick insurance companies use.

Results: Over $400 million recovered for Georgia families. My average settlement is 5x higher than initial insurance offers.

Personal attention: You get my direct phone number. I personally handle your case, not some junior associate.

No BS approach: I tell you the truth about your case, even if it's not what you want to hear. My clients call me the "No BS Attorney" because I shoot straight.

Georgia roots: Born and raised here. I know Georgia courts, Georgia law, and Georgia people.

Guarantee: You pay nothing unless I win. If I don't get you money, you owe me nothing.

But here's the real reason: I genuinely care about getting you justice. This isn't just a business to me - it's my mission to level the playing field against big insurance companies.**
