What should I do after being hurt?

Follow these steps if you have been hurt in any type of accident. Our Atlanta personal injury lawyers are always a phone call away to offer help and guidance. Do not wait to call us.

1. Report the incident

As soon as the incident occurs, call 911. Allow the police to arrive, start an investigation, and gather evidence to support your case. You must provide the police with clear, factual information without admitting any guilt.

2. Take plenty of photos

If it is safe for you to do so, take photos of the entire area. Use your phone to capture a video of the entire area and all the damage. Take photos of the scene, the other driver’s license plate, the contact information for witnesses, and the injuries you have.

3. Gather witness contact information

When safe to do so, ask witnesses to provide their names and phone numbers to you. Ask them to do so in case you have to verify or prove what occurred. Make sure the police get the contact information from all witnesses as well.

4. Seek medical attention

Always go to the emergency room. Even if you feel like you are okay, some injuries can take a few hours or days to become evident, including brain conditions like concussions, neck and back injuries, and internal organ damage. Going to the hospital ensures your injuries are well documented.

5. Keep a record of your expenses

Maintain a log of all expenses you have during the coming days and months. If you are spending money on medications, copays for doctors, or other costs, that could add up for you when making your claim.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Georgia, you have two years from the date of the incident to take legal action. However, this is a complex case, and filing a claim can take a long time. As soon as you suffer injuries, contact one of the Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Rafi Law Firm to get legal guidance. Doing this now – before that 2-year timeframe expires – protects your right to compensation.

Generally, in Georgia, you have two years from the date of the incident to take legal action. However, if the injured person is a minor, this deadline or statute of limitations can be delayed until they turn 18. If the crash involved a government vehicle, the delay may be for as little as 6 months.

There are different deadlines for different types of cases, and we are not able to advise you with certainty when the deadline for your case will come. For many cases in Georgia, the statute of limitations ends two years from the date of the incident—although in certain cases, the deadline for filing a claim could come sooner or later. Sometimes there are other types of deadlines in addition to the statute of limitations.

What damages can I claim?

You may be eligible to seek compensation for any losses you have. Our Atlanta personal injury lawyer can help you with a wide range of losses.

Economic damages

Some examples of economic damages include:

• Medical bills
• Rehabilitation costs

Punitive damages

In some situations, the court may also award punitive damages, which go above and beyond the losses you could otherwise expect. This often happens in cases of serious recklessness, such as DUIs.
