There are three main types of compensation available to a personal injury victim in Georgia:

• Economic Damages: Economic damages are easily verified. Examples include lost wages, medical bills, and lost earning capacity.
• Non-Economic Damages: Non-economic damages are much more subjective and harder to value. They can consist of pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and loss of consortium.
• Punitive Damages: Punitive damages are not always available. They are generally awarded in cases where the actions of the defendant are found to be particularly harmful. Punitive damages are sometimes awarded to discourage others from engaging in the same conduct as the defendant.

While no law states you must hire an attorney, it is within your best interest to do so.

Insurance companies are protecting themselves over and above the interest of the injured person, whether that person is their insured customer or the opposing party.

Insurance companies are in business for profit. They are not our friends when we make a claim. Any settled claim is only settled because settlement is better than litigation for the organization’s bottom line. An insurance company hires hundreds of lawyers to make sure that the claims are paid out at the lowest possible level or not paid out at all.

The injured person may be placed in an adversarial position even though his own insurance company should be taking care of him and might need a personal injury attorney to protect his rights.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit is a complex process that includes deadlines, extensive paperwork, and a thorough understanding of the judicial process. Attorneys spend many years studying the details and complexities of the law to offer complete services to their clients. It would be challenging for a non-Attorney to successfully file a legal complaint without the assistance of experienced legal representation. In addition, hiring a Georgia personal injury Attorney requires no upfront cost or fees, so you have nothing to lose by consulting with a professional about the details of your personal injury.

It is illegal to operate a vehicle in Georgia without proper insurance, but that doesn’t mean every motorist on the road is legally insured. If you have supplemental uninsured motorist (UM) insurance, your Attorney will file a claim with your insurance company for damages. There are different types of UM coverage, and not all motorists add on this extra insurance policy. To get advice about the specifics of your case, contact our law firm.

In Georgia, shooting victims who survive may be entitled to compensation for losses such as medical expenses, pain and suffering and lost wages. Families of these victims who lost loved ones can file a wrongful death claim.

Where the shooting happened due to a security concern on the premises, you can pursue a case against the owner or manager of the property where the shooting was possible due to their negligence.

In cases of negligent security, individuals who have suffered harm may pursue legal action against the property owner or occupier, seeking compensation for damages resulting from the inadequate security measures. Examples of negligent security can include:

1. Insufficient lighting: If a property owner fails to adequately light areas such as parking lots or stairwells, it can create an environment where criminal activity is more likely to occur. Insufficient lighting can make it easier for perpetrators to hide or for crimes to go unnoticed.
2. Broken or ineffective security systems: If a property owner fails to repair or maintain security systems such as alarms, surveillance cameras, or access control systems, it can compromise the safety and security of the premises. For example, if a property’s security cameras are non-functional, it may hinder the identification of criminals or deter their actions.
3. Inadequate staffing or training: In certain establishments, such as shopping malls, hotels, or concert venues, security personnel are responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the safety of visitors. If the property owner understaffs or fails to adequately train security personnel, it can lead to lapses in security, making it easier for crimes to occur.
4. Failure to address known risks: If a property owner is aware of specific risks or previous incidents of criminal activity on their premises and fails to take appropriate measures to address those risks, they may be held liable for negligent security. For instance, if a nightclub has a history of violent incidents but does not implement additional security measures, it may be considered negligent if another incident occurs.
5. Inadequate access control: If a property owner fails to implement proper access control measures, such as secure locks or restricted entry to certain areas, it can make it easier for unauthorized individuals to gain access to the premises and commit crimes.
