what is the maximum value of
my case in Georgia?

You have the right to compensation for every loss you experience when someone else is responsible for your injuries. These are
referred to as compensatory damages. They are a combination of economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages
include every financially based loss, while non-economic damages include every other loss that has nothing to do with money.
Here are some of the most common types of compensation you can receive after a personal injury in Georgia:

The cost of healthcare is astronomically high.
The last thing you need is to be stuck with tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Every single medical expense related to the injuries you endured will be accounted for as your personal injury lawyer calculates the value of your claim. Some of these medical expenses could include:

  • Home accommodations, such as installing wheelchair ramps, expanding doorways, or shower rails
  • Medical devices and equipment, such as wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, or hospital beds
  • Co-pays, transportation expenses, and prescription medication fees
  • Medical treatment, including counseling, physical or occupational therapy, and surgical intervention
  • Any future medical expenses related to your injuries

Lost Wages

Recouping your lost wages should be a top priority. Without a source of income, it may be impossible for you to continue providing for yourself or your family. However, not only are you entitled to compensation for the income you lost by taking time off work, you may also be entitled to other wage-related losses, including:

  • Employer 401(k) or retirement savings contributions
  • Paid time off, vacation time, sick time, and holiday pay
  • Bonuses and salary increases
  • Employer-provided health insurance coverage
  • Other employee benefits

Georgia Personal Injury FAQ

What should I do if I’ve been injured in Georgia due to someone else’s negligence?

If you have been injured in Georgia due to someone else’s negligent actions, there are multiple ways you can take care of yourself and ensure the at-fault party is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. At the scene of the accident, you should:

  1. Contact 911, emergency responders, and law-enforcement officials – It is crucial to obtain a medical evaluation and get the police at the scene of your accident. Even if your injuries seem minor, a police report on the details of how the accident occurred and who is responsible can go a long way in helping you demand justice for your suffering. Your medical evaluation and records will also be meaningful as you must prove that your injuries have greatly impacted your life. Healthcare provider’s opinions, your prognosis, treatment, and ways your life has been affected by your injuries will all be considered.
  2. Document the accident scene – If your injuries do not prevent you from doing so, take steps to document the scene of your accident. For example, if you were involved in a car accident, you should take photos or videos of the traffic conditions at the time of the crash and, in the aftermath, any damage to surrounding property, such as downed telephone poles, and your injuries. You can also use this time to collect the insurance and contact information of the other involved parties and bystanders who may have witnessed the accident.
  3. Contact a Georgia personal injury attorney for help – Filing a lawsuit may not be the first thing you think of after suffering a debilitating injury. However, the sooner you get a lawyer working for you, the better. The statute of limitations usually begins on the day of your accident or diagnosis. The sooner we get started on your case, the more likely we can gather time-sensitive evidence, such as video surveillance footage, that may only be available briefly.
  4. Focus on recuperating from your injuries – In the days, weeks, and months after your accident, healing should be a top priority. When you hire a personal injury lawyer to take on your case, you can attend physician appointments, continue receiving physical or occupational therapy, focus on your mental health, spend time with your family, and let your attorney handle the legal details of your case. While you recuperate, we will be calculating the value of your damages, exploring your legal options, and preparing all necessary documents and court filings.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Georgia?

When you file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia, you must follow the statute of limitations. This sets the maximum amount of time you have to file your claim. Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you can only file a personal injury lawsuit up to two years from the date of the accident. However, there may be limited circumstances where the statute of limitations may be tolled, meaning the statute of limitations is temporarily stopped.

For example, if you have a minor child who suffered critical injuries and a dog attack, the statute of limitations may be tolled until your child reaches the age of 18. Suppose you suffered from delayed symptoms and were not diagnosed with injuries related to your accident until the days or weeks afterward. In that case, the statute of limitation may begin from the date you knew or should have reasonably known you suffered injuries. To avoid confusion, make sure you have a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer working on your case.

What evidence is important in a Georgia personal injury case?

The burden of proof and personal injury claims is based on a preponderance of the evidence. Unlike criminal court, where the prosecutor must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, it is up to you, with the assistance of your personal injury lawyer, to introduce evidence that convinces the jury the defendant is likely responsible for your injuries. With this in mind, the evidence we present must be powerful and compelling. The type of accident you were involved in will determine which types of evidence will be most valuable. For example, if you were struck by a drunk driver in a car accident, the drunk driver’s chemical blood alcohol test results would be especially valuable. Some examples of other types of evidence that could be used to support your case include:

  • Photos of your injuries
  • Witness statements and testimony
  • Opinions from expert witnesses
  • Black box data from event data recorders
  • Video surveillance of the crash
  • Body or dash cam footage
  • Reports from accident reconstructionists
  • Your personal journal entries
  • Testimony from friends and family members
  • Copies of your medical records and physician’s notes
  • Property damage repair or replacement estimates
  • Receipts for out-of-pocket expenses

These are only a few examples of evidence that could be useful in establishing liability and proving the value of your claim. Safety inspection logs, maintenance records, employee records, and other documentation will also be used to help you maximize the compensation you recover. During your personal injury attorney’s investigation, case-specific evidence will become available and used to support your claim against the at-fault party.
