What Do You Have to Prove in a Personal Injury Claim?

When you’re pursuing a Georgia personal injury case, you’ll need to show that someone else’s negligence caused you harm. For example, if you were driving down the road and a drunk driver hit you, then you could have a personal injury claim against the driver. The same goes for situations like slipping and falling at a business when the property owner failed to maintain the floors. When someone else is responsible for your safety and could have prevented the accident, you may be able to pursue compensation for your losses through a personal injury claim.

Personal Injury FAQs

It’s understandable that you have a long list of questions about your legal rights after an accident. Our Georgia personal injury lawyers are here to help you get answers.

What if I am partly at fault for my injury?

If you are partly at fault for your injury, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of your responsibility. For example, if you were injured in an accident and were found to be 10% at fault, then your compensation could be reduced by 10%. So, if your damages are $100,000, your payment would be reduced by $10,000. Further, if you were 50% or more responsible for the accident, you may not be able to obtain compensation at all.

Our experienced attorneys can investigate your accident to show exactly who was at fault. We will also stand up for you when insurance companies try to shift the blame to reduce your compensation or deny your claim.

What should I say if an insurance adjuster contacts me?

If an adjuster contacts you, you can direct them to your attorney for any discussions. If you aren’t working with a Georgia personal injury attorney yet, you should be very careful what you say. Do not answer questions about fault or discuss your injuries. The adjuster will try to get you to talk and answer seemingly innocent questions. Beware: They will use your words against you. The less you say, the better.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Georgia?

You typically don’t need to pay any upfront or out-of-pocket fees to hire a personal injury lawyer in Georgia. Our personal injury lawyers don’t collect any fees unless we recover money for you. Even then, our fees are paid as a percentage of the recovery rather than coming out of your pocket.
