A personal injury claim is a type of civil lawsuit that allows a victim to take legal action against the person or entity that is responsible for injuries caused by negligent conduct or intentional wrongdoing. Put another way, if another party’s negligent behavior or deliberate wrongdoing injures you, they typically become liable for the harm they caused, giving you an opportunity to recover damages.
In a personal injury claim, the claimant must be able to prove that they suffered some type of harm due to the negligence or recklessness of another party. This means providing evidence that shows that the at-fault party’s failure to meet a legal duty of care resulted in injury. The standard for establishing liability is dependent on the scenario.
Once liability has been proven, a court can award monetary compensation to those harmed by the actions of another. The amount of money awarded is determined by factors such as the severity and extent of harm suffered, the scope of the claimant’s financial losses linked to their injuries, and (in some instances) the egregiousness of the negligence or wrongdoing.
Not sure if you have a claim? You are not alone. Our attorneys can assess your situation and advise whether we believe you have a strong case.

A personal injury claim is meant to compensate you for all of the tangible and intangible losses you sustained due to the negligent actions or wrongdoing of another party. This means that you can recover compensation for literal expenses, called “economic damages,” as well as tougher to quantify consequences, referred to as “non-economic damages.” In Georgia, punitive damages may be awarded in rare situations where there is considerable evidence that the defendant acted with “willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, oppression or that entire want of care which would raise the presumption of conscious indifference to consequences.”
Our attorneys will fight to obtain compensation for all economic and non-economic damages, including:

No, not necessarily. Many personal injury claims are settled out of court before a trial commences. This is especially true if we have substantial evidence that supports your version of events. We will attempt to negotiate a fair settlement that gets you the full and fair compensation you need as quickly as possible, but if reaching an acceptable resolution pre-trial is not always possible, our team is not afraid to go to court.
For most personal injury claims, you get two years from the date of injury to start the legal process. This may seem like a long time, but remember that taking action as soon as possible is in your best interest. You do not want to miss this deadline, as you will be unable to recover any damages if you do not file in time.
Wrongful death cases work a bit differently. If a loved one was killed due to negligence or wrongdoing, you usually have two years from the date they passed away to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. Keep in mind that the date the victim passed away may not be the date of initial injury.
