The right Gainesville, GA injury attorney can make a tremendous difference in the outcome of any personal injury lawsuit.
Personal injury law hinges on the legal concept of negligence, or a party’s failure to uphold a duty of care in a given situation. When negligence leads to injuries and other damages, the injured party can secure compensation through a personal injury lawsuit and recover medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering.
Some of the most common causes of personal injury claims include:
When one of these scenarios or a similar situation results in injury, the injured party should handle his or her immediate medical concerns and then contact a reliable Gainesville, GA personal injury lawyer to discuss options for legal recourse.
The first step in winning any personal injury lawsuit is proving the defendant’s negligence. This requires proving the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care in the given situation and breached or violated that duty in some way, resulting in the plaintiff’s damages. The plaintiff must also provide sufficient evidence to prove that his or her damages resulted from the defendant’s negligence and not another cause.
Plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits can generally secure two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages include measurable financial losses resulting from an injury such as lost wages, medical bills, and property damage to a vehicle. Non-economic losses are intangible things such as a victim’s physical and mental suffering after an injury as well as long-term psychological trauma resulting from an incident. The jury will assess the facts of the case and examine the extent of a plaintiff’s losses to determine an appropriate amount of compensation.
Although personal injury claims may appear relatively straightforward, it is essential for anyone considering filing such a claim to secure legal representation. Without proper legal counsel, a plaintiff could miss valuable avenues of compensation, miss filing deadlines with the court, or wind up with a higher fault percentage in the case than is appropriate. Georgia follows a contributory negligence law, which means plaintiffs can still secure damages even if they are partially at fault for a given incident. The plaintiff will lose a percentage of his or her settlement or case award equal to his or her percentage of fault in the matter.
