Georgia Negligence Laws (Part B)

Proving Negligence in a Georgia Personal Injury Claim Case

When pursuing a Georgia personal injury claim case, having skilled legal representation on your side is imperative. A Peachtree City injury lawyer can look at your case in order to collect evidence that can be used to prove that the defendant was liable for your injuries.

A civil case differs from a criminal case in that the plaintiff must only have evidence that shows that it was more likely than not that the defendant was responsible for the accident. In a criminal case the prosecution would have to show that the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Your Peachtree City injury lawyer may argue that the defendant had a "duty of care" in the situation that caused your injuries and did not take the necessary precautions. For example, a driver has a duty of care not to speed through red lights and a reasonable person would understand that there are risks associated with such activity. Your attorney must also prove that the defendant was the direct cause of the accident.

Georgia Negligence Damages

If your Georgia personal injury claim is successful you may be awarded damages for:

past and future medical bills;
actual loss of income;
loss of potential earnings; and
pain and suffering.

A Peachtree City injury lawyer can work with a team of financial and medical experts to estimate the amount of compensation needed for recovery.

Contacting a Peachtree City Injury Lawyer

If you have suffered injuries because of the negligent actions of another party, you should speak to an experienced Peachtree City injury lawyer as soon as possible. As the victim of a Georgia accident, you have rights that the insurance companies cannot ignore. While they have a team of lawyers working on their side, shouldn't you have experienced legal representation fighting for your best interests?
