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

Loss of quality of life
Emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life
Permanent disability

What Can I Do to Strengthen My Personal Injury Case?
See a doctor right away after an accident, even if you don't feel sick. This will help your damage case. You might not notice some injuries right away, and a doctor can only tell you which ones are dangerous.
You should also follow your doctor's instructions and finish all of the medical treatments they recommend if you want to get a big settlement. Also, proof of how bad your injuries are can help your case a lot.
Please call the boss or property owner and let them know about the accident if you get hurt on someone else's land. Before you talk to the insurance company, sign anything, or agree to anything, you should talk to your personal injury lawyer.
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 is a Demand Letter?
A demand letter is a formal request from the accident victim to the person or company responsible for the accident or their insurance company for money to cover the costs they spent because of the accident.
Demand letters try to get the case settled so that you don't have to file a personal injury claim. A demand letter can be sent by either a personal injury lawyer or the person who was hurt. A demand letter that is too vague or badly written can make it harder for the accident victim to get the money they're owed. A demand letter should instead be honest and based on facts.
This is why it's important to hire a personal injury lawyer at the Hines Law Firm with a lot of experience. They can write the demand letter and send it on your behalf. They know how to write a strong demand letter that will help you get the fair deal you deserve.
