Atlanta Personal Injury Attorneys

What Is Personal Injury Law in Georgia?

Personal injury law, also known as “tort law”, is designed to protect individuals who have been harmed due to another party’s wrongful or negligent actions. This could involve:

  • Intentional actions: Deliberate harm caused by another party.
  • Negligent actions: Carelessness or neglect resulting in injury.

Our attorneys can help you recover damages, including:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering

How Liability Works in Personal Injury Cases

Determining liability is a crucial step in any personal injury case. Liability identifies the party responsible for the accident and obligates them to compensate you for your injuries. Your Atlanta personal injury attorney will carefully evaluate your case to establish liability and fight for your rights.

The Role of Negligence in Your Case

Negligence is at the heart of most personal injury cases. Examples of negligence include:

  • Distracted driving: Texting while driving.
  • Unsafe environments: Failing to fix hazardous conditions.

In Georgia, everyone has a “duty of care”. Breaching this duty makes the negligent party responsible for damages.

Workers’ Compensation in Georgia

Georgia’s no-fault workers’ compensation system ensures that employees can receive benefits regardless of who caused the accident. Compensation depends on:

  • The severity of your injury
  • Lost work time
  • Out-of-pocket expenses

Don’t Miss Deadlines for Filing Your Claim

In Georgia, personal injury claims must be filed within two years. This statute of limitations means that if you wait too long, you could lose your right to compensation. Contact an attorney today to avoid missing your chance to recover damages.
