Treating your injuries is particularly important because it is the only way of establishing that you are actually injured and to what extent.

If your injury was preventable and only occurred due to someone else’s negligence, get in contact with a skilled personal injury attorney in Atlanta to fight for your legal rights and recover compensation.
The overwhelming majority of personal injury cases settle before going to court. But sometimes, a case needs to be tried in order to maximize the settlement value required to cover all your losses. When a trial is necessary, our skilled Atlanta personal injury attorneys have the combination of courtroom skills and dedication to excellence that can lead to the results you deserve.
Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys’ philosophy always has us seeking the maximum compensation for whatever situation that you are facing. We can make no guarantees about the size of your award after litigation is completed, but we can educate you on some factors that may affect the damages you are entitled to.
Damages are defined as the financial income allowable to be recovered as the outcome of a civil case.
There are three types of personal injury damages in Georgia:
There have been no upper limits on the financial award an individual can receive from a civil case since the Georgia Supreme Court found damage caps imposed by the state legislature to be unconstitutional in 2010.
The only additional law that could affect your compensation is that of the Comparative Fault statute, also known as Comparative Negligence. This notably affects car accident litigation efforts. Essentially, this law attempts to make sure that only plaintiffs without a significant hand in their personal injuries receive compensation, meaning that a plaintiff will only get a payout if they are found to be less at fault than the defendant.
Potentially, this could mean that if a plaintiff was 20% at fault in a case seeking $100,000 in damages, that plaintiff would receive 20% less. While that plaintiff wouldn’t pay anything to the defendant, you could receive nothing if found equally at fault as the defendant (50% or more).
If you or a loved one has suffered a severe injury or death because of someone else’s wrongdoing, you need an experienced, competent, and assertive personal injury lawyer on your team. Our specialized Atlanta wrongful death attorneys at Piasta Walker Hagenbush, LLC recognize the immense economic burden that fatal accidents and injuries can create for individuals and their families.
We can help you navigate the complex personal injury claims process to hold the wrongdoers financially accountable for your losses. And while there are no guarantees, we will work hard to get you the best possible result.
