Frequently Asked Questions

What Compensation Can I Recover For a Personal Injury?

A serious personal injury is not only physically and emotionally devastating, but it can also cause a huge financial set back to you and your family. If the negligence or wrongdoing of another person caused your injury, you deserve to be financially compensated for any loses of you have sustained.

Some of the most common types of compensation that plaintiffs seek in personal injury cases are economic damages which involves reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages, and damage to your personal property.  Additionally, victims may be entitled to  non-economic damages for emotional distress, loss of consortium, and pain and suffering. In serious cases, punitive damages may also be awarded, penalizing the at-fault party for their negligent or intentional actions.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

The statute of limitations for most Georgia personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. This means you will usually have up to two years from the date of the accident to take legal action. While this may seem like a considerable amount of time, the truth is that it is in your best interest to get legal advice and explore your options as soon as you can. Missing this deadline will prevent you from recovering any damages.

How Do I Know If I Have a Case?

If you were injured because of another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, there is a good chance you have a personal injury claim. If you were injured while on the job – even if you were not physically at your usual worksite – you likely have a workers’ compensation claim.

To prove fault, the injured party must provide evidence that:

  1. The other party had a duty to uphold a level of care
  2. The other party breached their duty
  3. The breach resulted in harm
  4. They suffered damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering

The only way to be sure, however, is to discuss your specific circumstances with a legal professional. Your initial consultation is always free, so do not hesitate to reach out and learn more about your legal options.

What to Do If You've Been Injured Due to Someone Else's Negligence?

Starting a personal injury claim may seem overwhelming, but with the right information, you can confidently initiate the process.  Follow these steps: 

  1. Seek medical attention: Your health should be your priority. Get prompt medical attention for your injuries. Taking this step ensures you receive appropriate treatment and creates a record of your injuries, which can be crucial when filing a claim. 
  2. Document your injuries, expenses, and experience: Collect any evidence related to the accident and your injuries, such as photographs of the accident scene, medical records, police reports, witness statements, and any other relevant documentation. 
  3. Consult an attorney: As soon as you are able, call an Atlanta personal injury attorney. At Morrison & Hughes Law, we can evaluate the viability of your claim, help you weigh your options, and make our recommendation for how you ought to move ahead. We are glad to offer free initial consultations, so there is no reason to wait to contact us.  
  4. File an insurance claim: If applicable, notify the responsible party's insurance company about the accident and your intention to file a claim. Provide them with the necessary information and cooperate with their investigation. Your attorney can assist you in communicating with the insurance company to protect your rights.

What if the Accident Results in Death?

Accident deaths are an extremely unfortunate reality. When it comes to auto accidents, for example, upwards of a hundred or more people in Dekalb and Fulton Counties die each year, according to state data. Losing a loved one in a car wreck—or any other accident, for that matter—is never easy. It can be even more devastating when another’s negligence or wrongdoing causes death. 

In a wrongful death case, the decedent's party seeks compensation for their tragic loss. The plaintiff (often a surviving spouse or family member) must show that the defendant's action or inaction fell below the standard of care expected in the circumstances and caused the death. 

Both personal injury and wrongful death cases are highly complex, and a majority of people do not have the know-how to navigate them on their own. This is why retaining an Atlanta personal injury attorney can be invaluable. A lawyer can fight for your rights and handle all legal matters, including gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing you in court if necessary. With the right attorney on your side, you can navigate a personal injury or wrongful death case with confidence.
