What Compensation Can You Get After an Accident?

When you file a personal injury claim, the damages you can recover are about more than just medical bills. They’re about addressing every way the accident has affected your life. We work to secure full and fair compensation for all your losses, both current and future, so you can feel less worried about making ends meet. By understanding every aspect of your case, we can seek the compensation that reflects the true impact of the accident on your life.

Damages you may be able to seek through a personal injury claim handled by our Atlanta injury lawyers include:

• Medical expenses: Coverage for hospital bills, medications, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical care.
• Lost wages: Compensation for the income you’ve lost due to your inability to work.
• Future earnings: Damages for any lasting impacts that could affect your earning potential.
• Pain and suffering: Damages that acknowledge the physical and emotional pain caused by the injury.
• Property damage: Reimbursement for damage to your vehicle or other personal property (sometimes handled in a separate property damage claim).
• Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation for impacts on daily life and activities you can no longer enjoy, or the shortening of your life expectancy due to permanent health complications.

What is Liability in a Personal Injury Claim?

Establishing fault in a personal injury case is one of the most important steps. Liability refers to the legal responsibility of the person or party whose carelessness, recklessness, or intentional misdeeds caused your injury. Preparing a strong case for liability involves demonstrating that the responsible party acted negligently and that their actions directly caused your damages.

Proving liability in a personal injury claim usually includes these four elements or factors:

1. Establishing duty of care: Showing that the responsible party had a duty to act in a reasonable manner to prevent harm. In Georgia liability law, the average person owes the people around them, even total strangers, a reasonable duty of care in most situations. For example, motorists owe it to other drivers not to drive while intoxicated.
2. Breach of duty: Proving that the responsible party failed to meet that duty, such as by driving distracted or maintaining unsafe premises.
3. Causation: Demonstrating that the breach of duty was the direct cause of your injury.
4. Damages: Providing evidence of the financial, physical, or emotional losses you’ve suffered as a result of the accident.

What is Georgia’s Time Limit for Injury Claims?

It’s important to act quickly after suffering a serious injury in an accident. Georgia enforces a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, meaning you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to pursue compensation through the civil court system, regardless of the strength of your case or the evidence stacked against the liable party.

This timeline can pass more quickly than you realize, too, especially when you’re focused on recovery. Please seek the counsel of our Atlanta personal injury attorneys as soon as possible. When handling your case, our team can work to meet all legal deadlines.
