Types of Personal Injury Claims Recognized in Georgia
Personal injury law covers everything from cancer-causing water toxicity to civil homicide (wrongful death) claims. However, most accidental injury cases in Atlanta fall into the following categories:
Accidental Falls
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), accidental falls are the leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States. They’re also the primary cause of traumatic brain injuries among older Americans and frequently contribute to workplace disabilities. At Essa, Janho & Associates, LLC, we take slip-and-fall and tripping accidents seriously. You may have a premises liability claim against the property owner and property insurer in such cases.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Traffic-related crashes are the second leading cause of accidental injuries and deaths in Georgia. You could have a personal injury claim if a negligent driver caused or contributed to one of the following traffic collisions:
- Car accidents
- Semi-truck crashes
- Motorcycle collisions
- Pedestrian strikes
- Bicycle accidents
- Bus crashes
- Uber and Lyft (rideshare) collisions
Driver negligence, including speeding, DUIs, and distraction, causes over 80% of all traffic incidents in Atlanta.
Wrongful Death
Any unlawfully inflicted injury resulting in death, even years after the incident, supports wrongful death litigation in Cobb County. Immediate family members should contact our experienced wrongful death lawyers if their loved one was killed in an assault, car crash, or workplace accident.
Damages Available to Georgia Accident Victims
Personal injury claimants or their family members can recover compensatory damages during settlement and litigation. Compensatory damages include medical bills, lost wages and benefits, and even pain-and-suffering awards.
Pain and suffering damages, also called non-economic damages, compensate Atlanta accident victims for the physical pain, emotional anguish, frustration, inconvenience, and lost enjoyment of life resulting from the liable party’s negligent conduct.
