What Is a Personal Injury Case

A personal injury claim is a civil lawsuit brought by an accident victim against the person that was responsible for their injuries. To successfully bring a personal injury lawsuit, you must prove that the other party was negligent. There are four elements to a negligence claim.

Duty – First, you must establish that the other party owed you a duty of care.

Breach – Second, you will need to prove that the other party violated the duty of care they owed to you.

Causation – Third, you must show that the other party’s negligent actions caused your injuries.

Damages – Finally, you must prove that you suffered legally recognizable damages.

If an accident victim meets each of these elements, they can recover money damages from the at-fault party.

Damages in an Atlanta Personal Injury Case

After an accident, victims face tremendous hurdles—financial and otherwise. To help them deal with these challenges, Georgia law allows accident victims to recover monetary damages from the party or parties who were responsible for their injuries.

Damages in an Atlanta personal injury claim vary widely. However, as a general rule, courts allow accident victims to recover for their economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer to the out-of-pocket costs you incurred as a result of the accident. For example, medical expenses, lost wages, decrease in earning potential and property damage are all common economic damages.

Non-economic damages are intended to provide you with money for the emotional and psychological effect the accident had on your life. For example, perhaps the most familiar type of non-economic damages are pain and suffering damages. However, Georgia law also allows accident victims to recover for loss of enjoyment of life, disability or disfigurement, and emotional distress.
