How Hunting Accidents & Injuries Happen
While some hunting accidents are simply unavoidable, many are found to be the result of negligence: negligence on the part of the hunter, another hunter, a property owner, a gun manufacturer, or a hunting product manufacturer. When we take on your hunting accident case, the first thing we will do is determine what happened and who was truly at fault.
Here are just a few common types of hunting accident that occur in Georgia:
- A hunter mistakes another person for a target.
- A hunter is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- An inexperienced hunter misuses a weapon.
- A hunter is injured or killed due to a defective product.
- A hunter is injured or killed due to a gun misfire or gun malfunction.
- A hunter is harmed in a tree stand accident, such as a fall.
- A hunter is harmed in an ATV accident or in another vehicle.
- A hunter is injured or killed in an accidental shooting.
- A hunter is harmed on private property that is dangerous or not safely maintained.
- A hunter injures another person while violating state or federal hunting laws.
According to the International Hunter Education Society, there are about one thousand serious hunting accidents in the United States and Canada annually. One out of ten of these accidents is fatal.

Hunting Injuries Can Have Serious Consequences On Entire Families
Whether an accidental shooting or another type of accident, hunting incidents can have serious and sometimes deadly consequences.
Specifically, hunting accidents can result in:
- Broken bones and fractures.
- Back, neck, and spine injuries.
- Death.
- Eye injuries
- Gunshot wounds or bow and arrow wounds.
- Amputations and paralysis.
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
These serious injuries can have long-reaching ramifications, not just for the injury victim, but also for his or her entire family. Getting the compensation you deserve can mean having the funds to fight against piles of hospital bills, missed time at work, and future medical treatments.
