Do You Have a Legitimate Personal Injury Case?

To pursue a case in Georgia, your situation must meet certain legal criteria. Generally, you may have a legitimate claim if:

  • You were injured (physically, emotionally, or financially)
  • Another party acted negligently (they failed to act with reasonable care)
  • Their negligence caused your injury
  • You suffered damages (such as medical bills, lost income, or pain and suffering)

Examples of situations that may support a personal injury claim include:

  • Being injured by a distracted or drunk driver
  • Falling due to unmarked hazards at a business
  • Being injured in an apartment complex due to lack of security
  • Suffering electrocution at a construction site with improper safeguards
  • Getting seriously injured by a defective product

Do You Have a Legitimate Personal Injury Case? (Revisited)

It’s worth repeating: a legitimate personal injury claim depends on four key elements:

  1. Injury: You must have suffered an injury or measurable harm.
  2. Negligence: Another party must have acted carelessly or failed in a duty of care.
  3. Causation: That negligence must be the cause of your injury.
  4. Damages: You must have suffered losses—physical, financial, or emotional.

What’s the Legal Process for an Atlanta Personal Injury Case?

Every personal injury case is different, but most follow a general series of steps. At Grant Law Office, we guide you through each phase and keep you informed at every turn.

Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation

We start with a detailed conversation to understand how you were injured and the impact it has had on your life. If we believe you have a viable claim, we begin building your case right away.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

Our team goes to the scene, interviews witnesses, obtains video footage, and collects all relevant evidence. In some cases, we hire outside experts to support your case with accident reconstruction, engineering reports, or economic loss evaluations.

Filing a Claim

We notify the at-fault party and their insurance company of your claim. This often involves filing a formal demand for compensation based on the damages you’ve suffered.

Negotiation

Most personal injury cases settle before reaching trial. We negotiate on your behalf, always aiming for a full and fair resolution. Because we build each case with trial in mind, we negotiate from a position of strength.

Litigation (If Needed)

If negotiations fail to result in a fair settlement, we file a lawsuit. This launches a more formal legal process, including depositions, document exchange (discovery), and court hearings.

Trial

If your case goes to trial, we present it before a jury. We handle all aspects of trial preparation, presentation, and strategy. Because we prepare from day one, we are always ready to advocate in court when necessary.

What Should I Do After I Have Been Injured?

If you want a better chance at a full and fair compensation for your injuries, it is highly advised that you adhere to the following guidelines to preserve the strength of your claim:

  • Receive medical attention as soon as possible
  • File a police report if the situation warrants it
  • Have a physician evaluate your injuries
  • Retain evidence and documents relating to your injuries and the accident
  • Get contact information from witnesses, if any
  • Open a claim with the liable party’s insurance company
  • Do not speak with the insurance adjuster before consulting with your attorney
  • Do not sign anything provided by the insurance company before consulting with your personal injury attorney

Types of Atlanta Personal Injury Cases We Handle

    Navigating personal injury accidents in Atlanta can be daunting, but with the right guidance, you can seek the compensation you deserve. Personal injury accidents cover a wide variety of incidents where people are harmed due to someone else’s negligence. At Grant Law Office, we’ve helped clients with several types of claims and lawsuits, including:

  • Car accidents often lead to significant physical, emotional, and financial consequences for the victims. Our firm gets justice for our clients by investigating car accident claims, negotiating with insurance companies, and, if necessary, pursuing litigation to help make sure you receive fair compensation.
  • Truck accidents happen when a large truck is involved in an accident; the damage and injuries are often more severe than those resulting from automobile collisions. These cases present unique challenges due to the immense size of trucks and regulations associated with commercial vehicles. Liable parties may include trucking companies, drivers, cargo loaders, and manufacturers of defective vehicles.
  • Motorcycle accidents may be caused by various factors, including driver negligence, poor road conditions, or mechanical failure. We’ll conduct thorough investigations to establish fault, assess the full extent of the damages, and fight to get you fair compensation.
  • Negligent security is when property owners fail to provide reasonable security measures to protect patrons and tenants from foreseeable harm. For example, if a property is located in a high-crime area, the owner should implement security measures such as adequate lighting, security personnel, or surveillance cameras. When these precautions are not taken and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be held liable.
  • Kidney damage resulting from an accident is a serious health consequence that can significantly affect a person’s quality of life. The kidneys are essential for filtering waste from the blood, and damage to these organs can lead to chronic health issues, potentially requiring dialysis or transplantation. Injuries to the kidneys may occur due to blunt force trauma in car accidents, physical assault, and falls.
  • Electrocutions represent a particularly dangerous type of accident that can occur in both public and private settings in Atlanta. These accidents often involve contact with exposed wiring, faulty electrical equipment, or power lines, and they can lead to severe injuries or death. The consequences of an electrocution can be immediate and devastating, including cardiac arrest, severe burns, and long-term neurological damage. Our firm understands the intricacies involved in electrocution cases, such as the need to investigate safety protocols, maintenance records, and potential OSHA violations.
  • Wrongful death claims arise when someone loses their life due to the negligence or misconduct of another person or party. The victim’s survivors have the right to pursue damages, including compensation for loss of financial support, loss of companionship, loss of consortium, and funeral and burial expenses.

What Is the Statute of Limitations in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file a lawsuit before the deadline can result in losing your right to recover damages, even if your case is otherwise strong.

  • If the injured person is a minor or mentally incapacitated, the statute of limitations may be extended.
  • In cases involving a government agency, you may need to give notice much sooner (as little as six months).

What Compensation Is Available for Atlanta Personal Injury Victims?

Compensation for medical expenses is a fundamental part of most personal injury claims. This includes reimbursement for treatments already received and coverage for estimated future medical costs stemming from your injuries. Medical expenses can encompass a wide array of costs, such as hospital stays, surgeries, medication, physical therapy, and long-term healthcare needs like assisted living care.

Injuries from an accident can often lead to time away from work, resulting in lost wages. Compensation for these lost earnings is crucial to a personal injury claim. This not only includes wages you have already missed out on but also the loss of earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or from working at all in the future. Our lawyers work to accurately calculate these losses, factoring in your salary, bonuses, benefits, and any potential raises or promotions you would have reasonably expected to receive.

Pain and suffering are part of non-economic damages and refer to the physical discomfort and emotional distress one may experience due to an injury. Unlike medical bills or lost wages, pain and suffering are subjective and do not have a fixed cost. To ensure our clients receive the compensation they deserve, Grant Law Office will put forward a strong case that illustrates the full extent of your pain and suffering.

What Is Modified Comparative Negligence?

In the state of Georgia, fault is accredited according to a legal concept called modified comparative negligence. Under this doctrine, a victim may recover damages only if he or she was less at fault for the incident than the liable party; if the victim’s own negligent behavior contributed to the incident at all, they may only recover an amount that reflects the percentage of fault the liable party had in the incident.
