What Evidence Can Help My Personal Injury Case?
Your personal injury lawyer will investigate your accident and gather evidence that can support your claim.
Evidence may include:
Police report/accident report
Eyewitness statements
Phone records
Medical records
Medical bills
Vehicle repair estimates
Expert testimony
Video footage (if available)
Photos of your injuries, the accident scene, any property damage
Photos of anything that may have contributed to the accident
What is the Statute of Limitations in Georgia?
People who were hurt in an accident have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim and try to get money for their injuries. This date is very important. If you miss it, your case might not be able to go to court. This means you won't be able to get any money to pay for the costs of the accident. At the Hines Law Firm, if you hire one of our personal injury lawyers, they will take care of your whole case, even making sure you file your claim within the time limit.
What Types of Damages Can I Recover?
The damages you’re entitled to will depend on many variables, such as:
The severity of your injuries
Insurance policy limits
Your prognosis
Whether multiple parties were at fault
Your level of fault
How much time you missed at work
How the accident has impacted your life
And many other factors.
At the Hines Law Firm, our legal team will investigate your accident and may consult with experts to determine which damages you should pursue.
In some cases, accident victims can pursue the following types of economic and non-economic damages:
Pain and suffering
Past and future medical care costs
Lost wages
Property damage
Loss of consortium
Loss of quality of life
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability
Scarring and disfigurement
What Can I Do to Strengthen My Personal Injury Case?
If you want to strengthen your injury case after an accident, see a doctor right away, even if you don't feel sick. Some injuries may not show signs right away, and only a medical exam can tell you which injuries are dangerous.
To improve your chances of getting a large settlement, you must also do what your doctor tells you to do and finish all of the medical treatments they suggest. Having proof of how bad your injuries are can also make a big difference in how your claim turns out.
If you get hurt on someone else's land, you should call the manager or property owner and tell them about the accident or incident. Don't talk to the insurance company, sign anything, or agree to anything until you've talked to your personal injury lawyer first.
At the Hines Law Firm, our legal team will investigate your accident and may consult with experts to determine which damages you should pursue.
What Are Common Injuries in Personal Injury Cases?
An accident victim may suffer mild to life-changing injuries. At the Hines Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys have handled many accident claims that involved the following types of injuries:
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Nerve damage
Chest injuries
Leg and arm injuries
Back injuries
Neck injuries
Whiplash
Road rash
Broken bones/bone fractures
Hearing loss or vision loss
Crush injuries
Facial or dental injuries
Loss of limb
Burns
Internal organ damage
Internal bleeding
If you suffered life-altering injuries, your personal injury attorney may work with medical professionals, occupational therapists, physical therapists, economists, life care planners, and other experts, to determine the cost of future medical care.
What is a Demand Letter?
A demand letter is a formal request by the accident victim to the at-fault party or the insurance company seeking compensation for the expenses they incurred as a result of an accident.
Demand letters are an attempt to settle the case instead of filing a personal injury lawsuit. A demand letter can be submitted by a personal injury attorney or the injured party. An exaggerated or poorly written demand letter can hurt the accident victim’s chances of recovering the compensation they’re owed. Instead, a demand letter should be truthful and factual.
Because of this, it’s important to hire an experienced personal injury attorney at the Hines Law Firm. They can handle drafting and submitting the demand letter and know how to skillfully write a compelling demand letter that can help you obtain the fair settlement you deserve.
