From motor vehicle accidents to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death, we know how to help victims level the playing field with powerful insurers and fight for the financial recoveries to which they’re entitled.
We’re available to discuss potential claims involving all types of accidents and injuries, including:
Personal injury claims are powerful tools for making victims whole, but they are still complex legal processes that are adversarial in nature (often pitting victims against large and powerful insurance companies ) and unfamiliar to most folks and families.
Fortunately, victims can work with experienced attorneys like those at Morrison & Hughes to navigate these challenges.
As a firm focused exclusively on fighting for the injured and disabled, we offer the comprehensive counsel clients need to address every aspect of the personal injury claim process. While we know filing a personal injury claim in Alpharetta can be daunting, it’s a necessary task that can be made easier with our step-by-step support:
Personal injury lawsuits are civil claims that allow victims harmed by the negligence or wrongful acts of others to hold at-fault parties accountable. These claims can be resolved through out-of-court settlements negotiated with defendants and/or their insurers, or through judgments and awards handed down by juries. When they are, they allow victims to collect financial compensation for damages they suffered as a direct result of their accidents and injuries.
Personal injury cases are unique and fact-specific specific matters, which is why the best way to evaluate whether you have grounds to file a claim is to have yours reviewed personally by an attorney. Generally, you may have a potential claim if:
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. This means you generally have two years to file a lawsuit. However, there are several important exceptions to the general two-year limit:
Because of these exceptions and the complexity of determining the deadline for your specific case, it is crucial to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can. Delaying legal action can jeopardize your right to compensation, as failing to file within the applicable statute of limitations generally results in the loss of your right to pursue a claim.
Case value depends on several factors, including the nature of your injuries, their impact on your life, and whether they will cause further losses in the future. Generally, you may be entitled to compensation for:
At Morrison & Hughes, we help clients assess the potential value of their claims at various stages of the process. We also work diligently to document their damages and present claims that position them most effectively to recover what they’re owed.
Not all personal injury cases go to trial. Many are settled out of court through negotiations with defendants and their insurance companies, and some are resolved through alternative dispute resolution processes like mediation and arbitration.
When fair settlements cannot be reached, it may be necessary to take a case to trial, which may be held in Fulton County Superior Court, another state court in Georgia, or federal court. Our firm prepares every case as if it were to go to trial and helps clients understand when litigating in court is the right option.
Morrison & Hughes operates on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees, and that we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or judgment we secure for you.
While it is possible to handle your claim without a lawyer, it is not advisable. Personal injury law is complex, and insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate the process, gather evidence, negotiate with insurers, and advocate for your best interests.
Morrison & Hughes has earned a reputation for providing compassionate, client-focused representation to folks who’ve suffered due to the negligence of others. If you or someone you love were injured anywhere in Fulton County or the surrounding areas, we want to help.
