Case Results
Types of Injuries That Fall Under PI
The trauma of an injury can be serious and lifelong, affecting your day-to-day life or even permanently altering how you live. Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and emotional trauma are just a few of the many types of injuries that fall under personal injury laws.
Broken Bones (Fractures)
Whiplash and Other Neck Injuries
Back and Spine Injuries
Head and Brain Injuries
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Many Other Injuries May Qualify
Broken bones may not seem like a big deal, but they can easily become infected and lead to severe complications. Infection is especially common in accidents that occur outside, such as on a worksite or on the interstate, where much foreign material like metal, dirt, and glass is present.
Evidence Plays a Crucial Role
Evidence can not only help prove that your injury was someone else’s fault, but it can also help prove the seriousness and scope of your injury, as well as the cost of treatment and damages that you incurred as a result of the injury.
Strong evidence will give you the best chance for maximum compensation, so it is important to gather as much documentation as possible. Some examples of types of relevant evidence include medical bills, diagnoses and prognoses from a doctor, proof of disability status, proof of lost wages, police reports, and incident reports.
If something involves your injury or the circumstances in which you were injured, make sure it is documented and saved.
Damages in PI Cases: “Being Made Whole”
In a personal injury case, “damages” are forms of financial awards for the negative outcomes of an injury or accident. There are two main categories of damages in personal injury cases under Georgia law: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages can include, but are not limited to:
- Lost income: This is to make up for when you are unable to make money due to your injury or treatment/recuperation.
- Lost earning potential: If your injury is severe enough that you are no longer able to do the same type of job you previously held and now only have access to lower-paying jobs, you may be eligible for lost earning potential damages.
- Lost benefits: Similar to lost income, this is to make up for lost vacation time or paid time off resulting from your injury.
- Medical expenses: This is to compensate for the hospital bills, doctor’s bills, prescriptions, medical devices, etc. that you had to pay for as a result of your injury.
Non-economic damages are harder to quantify and are often subjective. They can include, but are not limited to:
- Interference with normal living
- Interference with enjoyment of life
- Loss of earning capacity (ability to work and earn money)
- Impairment of bodily health and vigor
- Fear of extent of injury
- Shock of impact
- Actual pain and suffering, past and future
- Mental anguish, past and future
- Extent to which the plaintiff must limit activities.
It can be difficult to place monetary value on abstract damages, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t affecting you and your family. For example, just because you don’t have a bill for loss of quality of life doesn’t mean you can’t recover compensation for it – your attorney will just have to prove that that damage is present and that you should be compensated.
An attorney can prove that you suffered an injury which may not have a traditional dollar amount, but nonetheless warrants maximum compensation. At Rafi Law Firm, our goal is to help you fully recover for all of the damage you experienced, not just for what you received a bill in the mail.
Importance of Follow-Up Care
Receiving follow-up medical care in the wake of your injury or accident is absolutely crucial. First of all, it ensures that you have the best possible outcome of treatment and recovery.
Second, it provides proof and documentation of your injury and all of the details regarding that injury.
As an example, simply saying that you have neck pain does not hold the same weight as showing proof of a medically-documented neck injury and evidence of necessary future treatment.
What is my case worth?
After you have determined that you have a personal injury case, your first question is most likely “What is my case worth?” The truth is, without speaking to you and understanding your case, there’s no way to determine how much your case could be worth.
Our Lawrenceville personal injury lawyers will fight for full, maximum compensation for you. Every case is different, but one thing that will help you get as much compensation as possible is evidence.
Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Lawrenceville
Under Georgia law, the personal injury statute of limitations is generally two years, depending on the case.
In simple terms, you have two years to file a personal injury claim from the date of the accident or incident that caused your injury.
However, having two years to file your personal injury lawsuit doesn’t mean you should wait. Don’t wait for medical bills and stress to pile up before filing. Reach out to our Lawrenceville personal injury lawyers today.
