How does a car accident settlement work in Georgia? My name is Khalil Farah. I’m an attorney at Farah & Farah and in Georgia when we reach a settlement agreement with the insurance company for the other side they will send us a check for the full settlement amount. We will then negotiate any medical bills, pay any medical liens, and then we will write you a check for what you’re entitled to out of that settlement. That way when you get a check, you know all the attorney fees, all the medical bills, any medical liens those have already been taken care of.
