Personal injury cases are the consequence of pain endured by an individual that’s caused by another party’s negligent behavior. Although accidents are common throughout Atlanta, they still create significant pain, stress, and frustration for those involved. And, the stress of an accident compounds if you are unable to cover the costs of your medical expenses or return to work.

Allowing an experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyer represent your case has a significant influence on the outcome of your claim.

Having an attorney serve as your advocate removes the burden of having to prepare an entire case alone, which gives you the ability to focus on recovering from your injuries.
To file an injury claim against another party, it’s important to understand and adhere to Georgia’s statutes of limitations, which refers to the amount of time an accident victim has to file a lawsuit against the defendant. In Georgia, the plaintiff has two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If you need to file a claim against a city or county, you are allowed six months from the time of the accident to file suit.
For claims against the State of Georgia, you are allowed two years from the date of the accident. If you attempt to submit a claim after the two-year window has passed, the court will not acknowledge your case, and you will not be able to receive compensation for any damages you’ve sustained.
The first thing you need to do after an accident is ensure that your health and welfare are taken care of. After your condition is in tact and you have been evaluated by a doctor, you will need to take a few steps to help protect your ability to file a personal injury claim. These measures include:
You will need to request and produce medical records to support your personal injury claim. These documents are the basis of any injury case and serve as potentially the most significant evidence you can use to justify your settlement request. The defendant’s insurance provider will scrutinize your information and other documentation you present in your case.
Before coming to an agreement offer, the insurance adjuster will try to reduce the severity of your injuries by countering your evidence with their own set of reports. Without being able to provide substantial evidence that directly connects your injuries to the defendant’s behavior, you will have no basis to negotiate a settlement.
An MRI and a CT Scan are used to develop clear pictures of the inside of the body using medical imaging technology. When compared to X-ray scans, MRIs provide more clarity around particular tissues. One of the primary differences between MRIs and X-rays are how X-ray scans travel through tissue. X-ray signals scatter through the body, causing them to focus on the contrasts between dense and less dense structures like the bones or heart.
MRIs and X-ray scans have the potential to increase the value of your case as they can prove, with complete clarity, the extent and long-term consequences of your injuries. Such forms of evidence also highlight the source and cause of your wounds, allowing your attorney to make a direct correlation between your injuries and the other party’s actions.
