What Is a Personal Injury Claim or Lawsuit?

Personal injury claims are brought by injured parties who believe someone else’s actions or inactions were at least partly to blame for the accident. In a personal injury case, the injured party seeks damages (compensation) from one or more responsible parties.

These types of legal matters arise from accidents or incidents that result in injuries or death. The most common type of personal injury case involves injuries sustained in car, truck, or motorcycle accidents. However, there are many other scenarios that can lead to a personal injury lawsuit. These include wrongful death matters, workers’ compensation injuries, premises liability cases, animal bites/attacks, medical malpractice, and more.

Who Has the Right to File a Claim in a Personal Injury Matter?

The short answer is that anyone who suffered injuries in an accident caused in large part by someone else has a right under Georgia tort law to file a claim or lawsuit seeking damages from the responsible party. Similarly, the family of a victim who died as the result of someone else’s negligence has the legal right to bring a wrongful death suit against the person(s) they believe were responsible.

How Can I Determine if I Should File a Georgia Personal Injury Lawsuit?

No two injury accidents are the same, which can make it difficult to determine whether it makes more sense to accept an insurance company’s settlement or to hire an attorney to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim.

There are some scenarios where an injured person who wants to file a personal injury claim may not have a strong enough case to proceed. Consulting with an experienced car accident lawyer in Sandy Springs can help you understand the relative merits of your case and determine what legal remedies you may have available to you.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?

Several factors go into determining what a personal injury claim is worth, and the amount of compensation you might ultimately be able to recover as a victim. Specifically, the type and extent of injuries sustained play key roles. In addition, the amount of direct financial and indirect losses incurred are important in establishing a dollar amount for your claim.

When you consult with a car accident attorney in Sandy Springs, GA, your attorney will evaluate the circumstances of the accident and injury and help you understand what compensation you might be able to receive.

What Types of Damages Are Available After a Car Accident?

Auto accidents can be devastating. In general, personal injury accident victims can usually recover their direct economic losses. These losses, sometimes called “special damages,” include things such as medical expenses (both initial and ongoing), physical and occupational therapy costs, medical supplies, medications, lost wages (including reductions in future earnings), certain travel costs, expenses related to property damaged in the accident, and more.

In some situations, car accident victims can also receive noneconomic damages including compensation for emotional distress, disabilities, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and other subjective damages. Punitive damages, available in particularly egregious car accident cases, represent additional compensation designed to punish the responsible party.

As your car accident lawyer in Sandy Springs, GA, your Van Sant Law attorney will advocate on your behalf, fighting for the maximum amount of damages based on the circumstances of your case.
