Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers


Grant Law Office Handles Serious Atlanta Personal Injury Cases

Accidents can and do happen; fortunately, most incidents result in negligible injuries or nothing. We generally attribute these minor affairs to bad luck or happenstance and go on our way. However, there are accidents that devastate the lives of the victims, whether physically, mentally, financially, or any combination of the three. Being no laughing matter, a serious accident shouldn’t be disregarded without careful consideration of the circumstances. How did the accident occur? Was another party at fault? Who or what was the source? The answers to these questions are important and can help determine whether the victim should pursue a personal injury claim to recover damages.

The federal and state laws regarding personal injury are complex, making the claims process difficult to navigate. Without the help of an experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyer, you may face trouble or even failure in pursuing your particular claim. Get in touch with the accomplished Grant Law Office attorneys today at (404) 995-3955. We have a combination of over 60 years of experience — we can help you get the aggressive legal representation you need, including answers to personal injury case questions.

What Types of Personal Injury Cases Happen in Atlanta?

    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.

Who Is Liable in My Personal Injury Claim?

As a rule, the person or company whose negligent or reckless actions led to the victim’s injury is the liable party in a personal injury lawsuit. Here are some of the different types of personal injury cases, along with the party that is usually liable in each case:

  • Assault or Battery: This is a case of intentional tort as opposed to negligence. The person who deliberately caused harm to the victim is the liable party.
  • Strict Liability: Under this doctrine, the defendant can be held liable without proof of fault. These are situations that are considered by the law to be inherently dangerous. For example, a dog owner can be held automatically liable for any harm their dog causes under strict liability since a dog is inherently a potentially dangerous animal.
  • Product Liability: Companies, whether they’re involved in design, manufacturing, or distribution, are expected to provide consumers with safe, functional products. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for any harm that results.

If a claimant wins their case, the liable party may be obligated to provide compensation that includes coverage of economic damages, such as medical expenses and property repair costs, and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering or loss of consortium. Punitive damages may also be rewarded if the liable party’s actions were blatantly dangerous.

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

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.

How Do I File a Successful Personal Injury Claim?

The first stage in pursuing a personal injury claim is establishing the legal basis for your lawsuit, which generally hinges on demonstrating that another party is at fault for your injuries due to negligence. Grant Law Office will investigate the event and file a claim or lawsuit against anyone whose negligence contributed to your injuries. If an insurance company representing a negligent party refuses to make a reasonable offer, the experienced trial lawyers at Grant Law Office are always prepared to take your case before the jury.

The first step in filing a successful lawsuit is discovery, where both sides exchange pertinent information through depositions, requests for documents, and written questions known as interrogatories. The next step is the trial. Your attorney will make arguments, question witnesses, and present evidence to support your case. After lawyers for both sides make their closing arguments, a judge or jury will deliver a decision. If the jury rules in your favor, you will receive monetary damages from the defendant.
