personal injury attorneys in Atlanta GeorgiaSuffering in pain after a personal injury can be traumatic, both physically and emotionally. It can be challenging enough to endure physical pain and discomfort, but add to that emotional pain like anxiety, fear, and worry about the future, and it can become nearly impossible to bear. Fortunately, you don’t have to face these circumstances on your own. 

When you’ve been harmed through no fault of your own, your entire focus should be on healing and creating a pathway for a better future. The last thing you need to be concerned with is confusing legal procedures and documents. But make no mistake, the parties that caused your pain and suffering should be held responsible. And the right personal injury attorney can help you get the justice and compensation you deserve. 

If you or someone you love was recently injured due to the negligence of another party, you need to act quickly to protect your rights. Contact our Atlanta office today to schedule a free consultation.

Damages You Can Recover After An Accident

If you’ve been hurt, you have the right to seek full and fair compensation from the responsible parties. Personal injury cases seek to compensate the victim for both economic and non-economic losses. We look at the following types of damages when evaluating the full value of a case:

  • Economic Damages– Economic damages compensate you for the tangible expenses related to the accident. These include medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and the estimates of future medical care. 
  • General Damages– General damages give a plaintiff compensation for their intangible losses. Examples include pain and suffering, loss of quality of life, and mental anguish. 

Our law firm can never make any promises about your case outcome. Nor can we give an estimate of your case’s value without a thorough evaluation. 

Georgia Law and Personal Injury Cases

State law governs how personal injury cases are handled. In Georgia, it’s important to understand that the law and time may not always be on your side. 

An insurance company might try to allege that you were partially at fault for your injuries. According to Georgia’s contributory negligence law, you will not be able to collect compensation if your percentage of fault is higher than that of the other parties. Even if it is less, your compensation could be reduced if this law is applied unfairly. 

You also have a limited time to pursue a personal injury case because of legal limits in place. For most personal injury cases, Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations. You should always contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your right to compensation. 

What to Do If You’re Injured in an Accident

Immediately following an accident, you may be unsure about your next move. These are critical minutes, hours, and days that could significantly impact the outcome of your case. If you are able, here are a number of steps you should take to protect your health and rights:

  1. Stay Safe – Whenever necessary, get to a safe place to avoid any additional accidents or injuries to yourself or others. 
  2. Check for Injuries– Take a deep breath and assess your situation. If you or anyone else is injured, seek immediate medical attention. Even if you feel fine, you should still see a doctor to document the accident. 
  3. Call the Police– Someone should usually contact the authorities and request that a police report be generated. 
  4. Document the Accident– Even if the police show up, document everything independently. Take your own notes, photograph the scene, and get witness contact information. 
  5. Never Admit Fault – Avoid admitting fault to anyone or even discussing the accident in detail with anyone but the responding police officer. 
  6. Speak With a Personal Injury Lawyer– One of the first phone calls you should make after an accident is to a qualified personal injury law firm.
