Frequently Asked Questions Personal Injury
These are some of the most frequently asked questions about personal injury law. To have specific answers to your questions, call Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass and speak to a Peachtree Corners personal injury lawyer today.
How Do I Prove That Another Person Was Liable For My Accident-Related Personal Injuries?
Proving fault in a personal injury case is one of the central challenges of the process. Your attorney will investigate the accident to identify any evidence that could be used to prove negligence or fault on behalf of the other person or business involved. This may include witness statements, photographs, surveillance footage, accident reports, etc. If possible, recording evidence at the scene of the accident can be an excellent way to help your attorney establish some basic information. Taking a video and speaking over the recording is a great way to get a clear view of the situation as it unfolded. Photographing the scene and any physical evidence will also help prove your case. If you cannot take photos or videos at the crash scene, your attorney can gather evidence from several other sources. Remember that your health is your top priority after an accident.
How Much Money Can I Recover If I’m Found To Be Partially At Fault For My Accident?
The total amount of damages you are eligible to receive will be affected by many factors, including the extent of your injuries (as proven through your medical records) and the percentage of fault (comparative negligence) allocated to each party involved in the accident. Your attorney will review the details of your damages before reaching an initial figure, which they will take to settlement negotiations to close the gap between the insurer’s initial offer and the amount you rightfully deserve.
What Is Comparative Negligence?
Georgia, like other U.S. states, uses a doctrine of comparative negligence when determining the number of damages you can recover in a personal injury case (as a percentage of your total damages). This means that if you are found to be partly at fault for your accident, you can still recover some of the damages. This is an essential protective measure for accident victims. Still, insurance companies will attempt to use this doctrine to reduce the percentage that they owe a victim by pinning additional fault on them. This is another reason why it is so essential that injury victims work with a professional through the legal process to recover fair compensation for any serious injury.
Is There A Time Limit On Filing A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Following An Accidental Death In Gwinnett County, GA.?
All legal actions have a set time limit, known as a Statute of Limitations. The Statute of Limitations for wrongful death in Georgia is two years, meaning you have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. After that deadline, you cannot recover damages through a wrongful death action (except for some very specific circumstances best discussed with a professional). It’s imperative to contact an attorney as soon as possible if you believe another person is responsible for your loved one’s death. While two years may seem like ample time, your attorney can use this window to gather evidence and build a case without being forced to file a personal injury lawsuit. Even if your wrongful death claim ultimately does go to court, these initial two years are essential for building a case.
Can I Still Collect Compensation For Medical Bills Related To My Severe Injury If The Insurance Company Has Already Paid Up To Its Policy Limits?
It can be frustrating to realize the damages you’ve suffered exceed the at-fault party’s policy limits, and insurers have no obligation to pay beyond those limits. However, you may be able to sue the at-fault party and collect the remainder of your damages. If the at-fault party does not have the means to pay any excess damages, there may not be much else that you can do. Your attorney will clearly understand the situation and can help advise you on other potential courses of action.
When Should I Contact An Attorney After Being Injured In An Accident?
The honest answer to this question is to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Your health should be your absolute top priority. Still, as soon as you are able, it is essential to contact an experienced lawyer who can help you navigate your case from the start and will work to protect your rights to maximize the chances of getting the total compensation that you deserve. Contact an attorney before you speak with an insurer, if possible, so that you can cover your bases from the start.
What Is A Personal Injury Claim?
Simply put, a personal injury claim is a legal action taken against an individual or company that has caused some type of injury to another person. The goal of the lawsuit is to seek financial compensation for the harm caused by the liable party, whether it be physical, emotional, or both. A claim may be filed directly with an insurance company or be elevated to a lawsuit. In most cases, personal injury claims are settled out of court, allowing the injured party to receive a lump sum payment without going through the time and expense of a trial.
