Georgia Trial Attorneys - personal injury attorneys

 

What Is A Personal Injury Lawsuit?

When someone is injured due to the negligence of another person or entity and suffers physical or emotional damages or a permanent or long-lasting disability, they can file a personal injury lawsuit and sue those responsible for the damages caused by their negligence. The injured person can seek monetary compensation for their injuries and for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfiguring and disability. A personal injury attorney can help the injured person navigate the civil court process to get the compensation they deserve. 

Too often, personal injury attorneys have to fight insurance companies during a trial to help victims get the financial compensation they deserve. In other cases, an experienced personal injury lawyer can negotiate a settlement to avoid the expense, time and stress of a lawsuit. 


As experienced personal injury trial lawyers, Georgia Trial Attorneys
has a reputation for vigorously representing our clients in court
against insurance companies.
Other law firms hire us to fight for their clients.

What Is the Statute of Limitations?

In the state of Georgia, the statute of limitations describes the time period in which an injured person must file his or her lawsuit. If a suit is not filed by the deadline, then the personal injury case will not be accepted and it cannot be re-filed. Knowing your statute of limitation is critical. Your personal injury attorney will provide you with this information.

In Georgia, the time you have for filing a case for negligence that causes injury to a person is 2 years from the date on which the injury or death occurred. The time for filing a case for minors and people who are legally incompetent (such as mental illness) at the time of the injury can be extended until the minor becomes an adult, or the incompetence is no longer an issue.

However, if your personal injury case is against a governmental agency, the rules provide that advanced notice requirements (called “ante-litem” notice requirements) be met.

Is There A Monetary Limit On Personal Injury Damages? 

All states differ on limits for the amount of damages for personal injury cases. The limitations, or caps, are the amount of damages or losses that an injured party may receive, depending on the type of case. In the state of Georgia, there are no caps to damages or losses in medical malpractice or other kinds of personal injury cases.

Bicycling Accidents

High gas prices, nice weather, and healthier lifestyles have contributed to more bicycles on the road, and therefore more bicycle accidents. “Dooring” – although unintentional, is quite common. Did you know that Georgia’s law states that an occupant of a car, unless reasonably safe to do so, cannot open a door of a car into traffic?

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are not protected in the event of an accident and generally suffer serious injuries.

Slip and Fall

A slip and fall injury can happen when and where you least expect it. The injuries can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating.

Fall Injury Fact: If you fall and hurt yourself, the other party is liable only if their actions were a breach of legal duty that caused your fall. As the plaintiff, it is your burden to prove this. You must prove it by a preponderance of the evidence, which means you have to prove that- more likely than not- the defendant was negligent in creating the conditions that led to your fall.


Transportation Accidents

Public transportation is convenient and reliable. But, if you’ve been injured in a crash, you are limited in the amount of time you have to work with an accident attorney and file a lawsuit.

Trucking Accidents

Being hit by a tractor trailer is never minor. The size and weight of these trucks means that an accident will often lead to life-threatening or even fatal injuries. The drivers of these vehicles and the companies they drive for are held to a higher standard than your every-day driver. Hire the best Georgia trucking accident attorney to help you and your family.

Wrongful Death

It is important to act quickly. Wrongful death cases have short deadlines and the evidence often goes "missing" quicker than a case without life-threatening injuries. Fatal accidents happen on our roads, at work and even at the doctor's office. If a loved one died in any of the above situations, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim.
