Understanding Georgia Personal Injury Law
In Georgia, most personal injury lawsuits are brought on the grounds of negligence.
To bring a claim based on negligence, you must be able to prove several key elements:
- Duty of Care: First, you have to prove that another person or party owed you a duty of care. This means that they had a legal responsibility to act in a reasonable manner and avoid causing injury or harm to others.
- Breach: Next, you must establish that the other person or party breached the duty of care. Typically, this means proving that they acted negligently, carelessly, recklessly, intentionally, or wrongfully in some way.
- Causation: You must also demonstrate that the breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of your injuries and/or losses. In other words, you have to prove that, if the other person or party had not acted negligently or wrongfully, you would not have been injured.
- Damages: Lastly, to file a personal injury claim, you must prove that you were injured and/or suffered measurable damages. These damages can be either economic or non-economic and may include things like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
At The Roth Firm, LLC, our attorneys work with a team of expert investigators, medical professionals, accident reconstructionists, economists, and other specialists who help us investigate claims and build solid evidence on your behalf. We can meet with you to discuss the specifics of your situation and help you determine if you have grounds for a claim.
