Personal Injury Laws and the Role They Play in Your Claim
Every state has its own personal injury laws, and the limitations placed on your case are dependent on where your accident occurs. Here’s some important personal injury laws in Georgia:
- The state has a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims.
- The state’s modified comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation if you are less than 50% at fault for an accident.
- If you have a claim against the government, you must inform them in writing.
Insurance Companies—What Do They Have to Do With Your Personal Injury Claim?
While personal injury claims are generally against the person who caused your accident and injuries, insurance companies are typically the parties who actually pay out these claims. This means that, whether or not you like it, the other party’s insurance company is a party to your claim.
An insurance company’s interests are directly contradictory to yours. You want to get as much as you can for your accident; they want to pay you as little as possible.
In addition to that, you must consider the insurance policy. While state law has specific minimum requirements for insurance coverage, these minimums are often far too low to cover any real damage caused by an injury or accident. Even if your injuries are worth far more than a policy’s limits, the amount you can actually receive is generally limited to policy limits. This is why it’s important to work with a lawyer—they can tell you how much you can realistically expect to collect, based on the strength of your case and insurance limitations.
Different Types of Personal Injury Claims
The Baer Law Firm takes on many types of personal injury cases. We handle all types of vehicle collisions, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. We also handle slip and fall cases, which includes all injuries caused by negligence occurring on private property. Dog bite claims hold dog owners responsible for their pets’ actions. Each type of claim has its own necessary types of evidence. For example, you’d want a police report for a car accident claim or dog bite claim. However, if you have a slip and fall claim against a business, you may instead have an official injury report from the business owner.
The Benefits of Choosing The Baer Law Firm
When you’re injured because of another person’s negligence, you must be careful and protect your best interests—because the at-fault party’s insurance definitely won’t. It doesn’t matter how straightforward your case is or how obvious it is that the other person is at fault; the insurance company will still do whatever they can to pay out as little as possible.
