Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers

Negligence is the basis for all personal injury claims. You might have a claim if the at-fault party owed you a duty of care, they breached that duty, this breach caused your injuries, and your injuries led to monetary and non-monetary damages.

The statute of limitations in Georgia personal injury cases is normally two years. The sooner you file, the better, because you may lose any right to compensation after time expires. If you have questions about this, it’s best to consult an injury attorney in Atlanta, GA.

Thinking you have a claim is one thing, but proving negligence is the real challenge. An injury attorney does this by thoroughly investigating the details of your case to look for signs of negligence. This could be a driver's BAC levels (0.04% in Georgia), inadequate signage indicating a wet floor, or a trucking log that shows a driver was on the road longer than they should be. Highlighting the action that breached the duty of care is key to proving negligence.

There could be multiple parties liable for your injuries. For example, the driver that hit you, the auto manufacturer, or another driver on the road could be responsible for a motor vehicle accident. In truck accident or premises liability cases, the employer could be responsible for your injuries. It all depends on the accident you were involved in.

Your Atlanta personal injury lawyer will help you build your case against the at-fault parties in your claim. After you hire an injury lawyer, they’ll investigate your accident. They’ll gather the necessary documents to help you prove the defendant was liable for your injuries and damages. Your Atlanta injury attorney will know how to request police reports, personnel files, and file preservation of evidence letters. Once you file a personal injury lawsuit in Atlanta, you’ll be able to file a motion to produce evidence to compel the defendant to share the evidence from your case. Your injury attorney will take the opportunity provided with the discovery phase to build a solid case, using the defendant’s evidence to your advantage.

Every personal injury case we handle is unique. While the value depends on the facts, you may be entitled to your: Medical expenses (bills now and down the line), Lost income (The wages you missed and will in the future), Property damage (To your vehicle or items you lost), your Pain and Suffering (The physical and emotional stress you endured), and loss of companionship if a loved one died. In addition to economic and non-economic damages, you could be entitled to punitive damages—money awarded to you with the intention of punishing the other party.

Most personal injury claims in Atlanta end with a settlement, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare for trial. You should choose an Atlanta injury lawyer with serious experience in Georgia courts, and who is unafraid of going to trial if that is what your case requires. If an insurance company approaches you with an offer, do not sign anything or accept without having it reviewed. We will assess their offer at no charge and discuss your options.

There's no short list of reasons why you should hire a personal injury lawyer. First, negotiating a settlement on your own leaves you vulnerable to being taken advantage of by the at-fault party's insurer. Second, injury lawyers have access to resources like expert witnesses that investigate your case and determine the exact cause of the accident. Finally, you won't be charged a dime unless your personal attorney wins your case—meaning you really have nothing to lose, and your attorney has a better chance of recovering a greater settlement than you handling your case alone.
