Georgia Personal Injury Lawyers

A personal injury is a legal term for any injury to an individual caused by another person’s carelessness or deliberate actions. In ordinary speech, we usually think of injuries as physical, but a personal injury doesn’t have to be physical; it could be emotional, financial or an intangible like lost quality of life. In fact, most personal injury lawsuits claim more than one type of injury. For example, in an auto accident lawsuit, the plaintiff may claim damages for a physical injury from the accident, financial injuries from paying for car repairs, pain and suffering, and lost quality of life because of the wrongful death of a loved one in the accident. Under Georgia law, you may sue for personal injuries caused by:

  • Negligence -- extreme carelessness from a person who should know better, which generally leads to an accident.
  • Intentional misconduct -- actions that may or may not have been crimes, but which caused you an injury. A hit and run accident involving a parked car could be one example.
  • Strict liability -- conduct the law says you may sue over regardless of whether you suffered actual harm. Strict liability most often applies to defective products.

Why Hire a Georgia Personal Injury Attorney?

Under Georgia law, people who have suffered a personal injury are entitled to sue the people who caused their injuries for financial compensation. This compensation can pay bills, provide income for people who can’t work because of their injuries, provide a future income for victims who may never return to work and ease their transition into a radically altered future. It may also call attention to illegal or unethical behavior by individuals and companies, bring public pressure on those people to stop, and avert similar accidents in the future. In some cases, a jury may decide to award punitive damages -- payments to you that are meant to punish very careless or bad behavior by the defendant.
