At Bair Wilson Sharma, our personal injury attorneys understand the disruption that a personal injury accident can cause. We provide answers and compassionate guidance to clients all over Georgia and represent people who have been injured through the negligence of others.
Determining If You Have A Case
If you were involved in an accident, you may be wondering if you have the legal grounds for a personal injury case and are entitled to compensation. There are three primary grounds for a personal injury claim in Georgia including:
Negligence: Any action or inaction that constitutes a failure to provide reasonable care or caution and causes injury to another person is considered negligence.
Intentional Wrongdoing: This involves purposeful conduct by a person that causes another person to suffer an injury.
Strict Liability: This refers to a situation in which a person or entity will be held accountable for another's injuries regardless of specific intent or negligence, as in the case of a workers’ compensation claim filed after a workplace accident or injury.
Call Bair Wilson Sharma today and will review your case to determine if you have grounds for a lawsuit.
Common Causes Of Personal Injury Cases In Georgia
Car Accidents: If you are involved in a vehicle accident, you will need to seek both immediate medical attention and legal advice. To receive compensation after an accident, the victim will need to show negligence on the part of the other driver. This means the other driver failed to use reasonable care while driving, causing the accident to occur. Once negligence has been proven, the victim (or plaintiff) or their family can receive compensation for property damage, medical costs, economic damages such as lost income or earning capacity, disabilities, emotional distress, and past and future physical pain and suffering.
Truck Accidents: If you have been in a truck accident, you and your passengers may have been seriously injured and your vehicle may have sustained major damage. You are also likely to have numerous questions about what to do after a truck accident. Most of all, remember not to admit fault, and once your immediate safety and health concerns have been met, call Bair Wilson Sharma so we can begin to take care of your needs. We will investigate to get compensation for a variety of losses such as medical bills, loss of wages, future lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, treatment center costs, and reconstructive surgery costs.
Medical Malpractice: When mistakes are made by medical professionals, you may be entitled to compensation. Hospitals may also be responsible if their policies and procedures do not protect their patients.
Product Liability: Tools, safety products, and poorly designed or manufactured products can all cause serious injury or death. Let attorneys at Bair Wilson Sharma work for you to seek justice and hold the responsible party accountable while deterring similar harmful conduct in the future.
Premises Liability: Property owners and managers have a legal responsibility to keep their property safe for anyone who may use them. Inadequately maintained premises can be dangerous for unsuspecting patrons and visitors, often resulting in serious personal injury. Some of the most common types of premises liability cases include but are not limited to slip and fall accidents, dog bites, neglected or inadequate maintenance, swimming pool accidents, negligent security and burn injuries.
Wrongful Death: A wrongful death claim involves a situation where someone has died because of injuries, usually from an accident. A wrongful death stems from the negligence or intentional wrongful act of another. These are civil cases that aim to compensate you for the emotional and financial harm inflicted on you and your family.
Types Of Compensation You Can Recover
Financial compensation awarded in a personal injury lawsuit is determined based on several factors. The following are some of the types of compensation you may be entitled to:
Compensation for medical bills, supplies, and other medical-related expenses associated with your injuries;
Compensation for future or continued medical care, or physical and occupational rehabilitation;
Compensation for lost wages;
Compensation for a loss of potential earnings in the case of disabling injuries;
Compensation for damages that are non-economic such as disfigurement, emotional trauma and pain and suffering; and
Compensation for burial and funeral expenses, lost income, and other losses in wrongful death cases.
