Negligence, What It Means for Your Personal Injury Claim
The concept of negligence plays a role in most personal injury claims. In order to recover compensation after an accident, you generally have to demonstrate that someone was negligent. This means that they didn’t take reasonable steps to prevent an accident or injury. For example, if a massive hail block crushes your car, your car is totaled—but no one was negligent and you have no one to sue. If an inexperienced crane operator drops a similar-sized rock on your car, the outcome is the same; but since negligence is the root cause of your losses, you may very well have a lawsuit.
Personal Injury Laws in Georgia
Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations, so you must file your lawsuit within two years of the date of injury. The timeline is paused for victims whose injuries are not immediately obvious, who are minors at the time of the accident, or who are intellectually disabled. If the at-fault party leaves Georgia to avoid being sued, this also pauses the statute of limitations.
What if you are partially to blame for your accident? Modified comparative negligence comes into play. If you are 50% or more at fault for your accident, you cannot recover anything in court. But if you are less than 50% to blame, you can recover compensation; it is just decreased proportionate to your share of liability.
Do You Have a Claim? Factors We Consider
A viable personal injury claim involves multiple factors. Some of the factors we will explore include:
- The severity of your injuries
- The strength of your evidence
- Whether or not you were also to blame
- If the at-fault party had insurance and their insurance policy limits
- Any other parties who may be at fault for the accident and who may be held liable
- How long ago your injuries occurred
- Pre-existing injuries or conditions
How We Can Help You Demand Justice
Having the right law firm behind you as you recover from a Fayetteville personal injury can make a big difference in what comes next. You may have heard from the at-fault party’s insurance company already, and perhaps they are even offering a settlement. That may seem like good news, but the fact is that insurance companies benefit when victims accept the first offer they get. They limit their financial losses, and you have no idea how serious your injuries are until you’ve already waived your right to sue.
Our goal is to protect you from unethical insurance company practices and give you a fair chance at full compensation. Your injuries aren’t your fault—why should you be left paying for them? Through an extensive investigation and crafting an ironclad case on your behalf, we’ll prepare ourselves for aggressive negotiations with the insurance company. All you have to do is focus on your recovery.
