What Is A Personal Injury?
A Personal Injury (PI) is any physical or mental injury to a person as a result of someone's negligence or harmful act. Many insurance companies refer to Personal Injury as Bodily Injury.
Why Do I Need an Attorney?
If you have been injured as a result of the negligence of another, whether it be a car, motorcycle, trucking accident, or bicycle accident, or any other type of accident, you are well advised to seek the assistance of a personal injury attorney. An experienced attorney will provide free, no-risk case consultations to injured persons and their families. They will help you determine if you are able to recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries (medical bills, lost wages, car repair, doctors' bills, etc) to help you get back on your feet to where you were prior to the accident.
I'm Not Sure Whether I Have A Case! What Should I Do?
Parties who've been injured during an accident have the right to financial compensation. While every case is different, a variety of factors can help those in need. It's important to discuss compensation with your provider beforehand. In order to potentially have a personal injury case, you need to have the 4 following:
- Negligence – is the other party responsible for the accident?
- Physical Injury
- Prove financial loss due to the injury – wages, medical bills, car repair, etc
- Bring a suit before the statute of limitations passes
Protect your rights. Call a lawyer. Get a professional opinion. You have nothing to lose. Most attorneys do not charge for an initial consultation in Personal Injury cases.
How Do I Know If I Have A Personal Injury Claim?
Whether a Personal Injury claim (a "tort") exists is a matter of law. There are four elements to a "tort" claim:
- The "at-fault" person is under a duty to do or not to do something,
- The "at-fault" person breaches that duty,
- You suffer Damages, and
- Your Damages are the result of the "at-fault" person's actions.
How Soon After I Am Injured Do I Have To File A Lawsuit? How Long Will I Have To File A Claim?
Once you know that you are injured, you will need to file your personal injury claim within two years. If you fail to file your claim within this period of time, you will forfeit your right to pursue compensation. The two-year window begins the day you learn of your injury, not when you are actually injured. The rule allows you to take action even if your injury was not immediately apparent or was sustained over a long period of time.
Here are the statutes of limitations in Georgia for the following personal injury accidents:
| Injury to Person | 2 yrs. |
| Personal Property | 4 yrs. |
| Professional Malpractice | Medical: 2 yrs., max. of 5 from act |
