Understanding the Ins and Outs of Your Alpharetta Personal Injury Lawsuit

The basics of personal injury

"Personal Injury" cases are legal disputes that arise when one person suffers harm from an injury or accident, and someone else may be legally responsible for that harm.

A personal injury case can become formalized through civil court proceedings that seek to find others legally at fault through a court judgment. Many times disputes are finalized through an informal settlement before any lawsuit is filed.

The Four Principles of the law of Tort

• The law of tort seeks to compensate victims for injuries suffered by the culpable action (meaning the act was wrong but did not involve any evil intent by the wrongdoer.)
• There is a demand for cost of such injuries to the person or persons legally responsible for inflicting harm.
• Discourages risky or careless behavior in the future.
• Lastly, seeks to absolve legal rights and interests that have been compromised, diminished, or emasculated. 

Determining fault in a personal injury claim

Deciding who is at fault and how much compensation will be rewarded in an accident injury case can be a prolonged process. Does it mean that if another person is at fault for your injuries they would automatically have to pay for all your expenses? Not necessarily.

Both the degree of fault and intent may come into account in an injury case. Further rules may apply for specific types of cases. Different states have different rules regarding the assignment of fault.

For example, the state of Georgia uses a modified comparative fault standard of 50%. This means that if you were found 50% or more at fault for causing the accident, then you cannot legally recover damages for your injury. Even if you were less than 50% at fault, your damage recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Meaning, If you were found 10% at fault for the accident and the damages awarded was $100,000, it would be reduced by the 10% you were at fault, so you would receive $90,000.

How can I find the best Personal Injury Attorney to help me with my case?

Finding the perfect personal injury attorney near you after an accident may be challenging. Looking at how much experience can be a good start but don't jump the gun, just because a firm has many years under their belt doesn't necessarily mean they are a good fit. 

A Personal Injury Attorney may have many years’ experience or relatively few. If an attorney has been practicing law for many years, he or she may be swamped with a heavy caseload making the time needed to give your case enough attention scarce to none. Or maybe he or she isn’t as enthusiastic as they used to be when they first started practicing law?

However, having a lot of experience could mean the attorney knows a lot of claim adjusters from years of dealing with various insurance companies and has dealt with cases similar to yours. Point being, don't rule out an inexperienced lawyer or immediately hire a lawyer solely on their experience level. While having experience is a secure feeling, make sure you explore other qualities before you make your choice and interview the lawyer to determine if you get a long with that person and see how well they communicate with you, the better a communicator the more they will keep you in the know about the handlings of your case.

Consider the following factors when selecting a personal injury lawyer:

• How well are their negotiating skills?
• Do they have the ability to listen?
• Is there compassion for your case and empathy towards your personal loses?
• What types of law does the firm specialize in?
• Where did the attorney attend law school?

Time matters when filing a personal injury claim in Alpharetta, GA

There is a time limit in which a plaintiff can file an injury claim, known as "The Statue of Limitations."

Typically the statue of limitations begins from the time the plaintiff was injured or discovers the injury. Statue of Limitations are established by state law and often vary by the type of injury. In the state of Georgia, there is a two-year statue of limitations for personal injury, fraud, and medical malpractice claims; but personal property, trespassing, and debt-collection claims have a four year limit. The intentions of time restrictions on claims is to ensure the integrity of evidence and to prevent people from threatening lawsuits indefinitely.
