Our Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help You Recover Compensation

Our accident attorneys aim to recover financial compensation that reflects your current and future injury-related losses. A fair settlement with the liable party’s insurance company or court award from a jury verdict can help you get the care you need and get back to your life. However, to determine fair compensation, we need to calculate the damages in your case.

Damages reflect your economic and non-economic losses, which usually encompass physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish. What types of damages you claim will depend on how your injuries or the accident that caused them has affected your life. Examples include: 

• Past and future medical bills: If your injuries forced you to seek medical care, you may demand compensation to cover those costs. You’ll also be able to pursue future medical expenses if your injuries require long-term treatment or are permanent.
• Income losses: If you were forced to take time off work to get treatment or recover from your injuries, you may qualify to recover your lost income. You may be able to recover compensation if you cannot return to work.
• Non-economic damages: Non-economic damages compensate you for the intangible losses and the impact on your quality of life. Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and scarring and disfigurement. 
• Property losses: If your accident damaged your personal property, such as your vehicle or home, you may demand compensation for the repair costs. 
• Wrongful death: If you lost a loved one, you may have grounds to pursue compensation in a wrongful death case. Wrongful death damages generally include funeral expenses and the decedent’s accident-related medical bills. Our Atlanta wrongful death lawyer can determine who can file a wrongful death lawsuit.

Various economic and non-economic damages may apply in your case, and we can make sure you pursue a fair award. We will identify your expenses, project your future financial losses, and review any settlement offers. Each personal injury case is unique, so we aim to consider your economic and non-economic damages thoroughly.

Types of Atlanta Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our team handles a wide range of personal injury practice areas. We provide legal guidance to victims injured in such situations as:

Automobile Accidents

If a driver hit you, our Atlanta car accident lawyer can help you pursue compensation through an insurance claim or lawsuit. Responsible parties who may have played a role in your accident include:

• Car and tire designers and manufacturers that made errors or defective parts
• Taxi, trucking, or rideshare companies that share liability with their drivers
• Property owners who failed to maintain their property, causing a crash
• Government entities that failed to maintain roadways

If you were struck by a truck, our truck accident lawyers can also help. 

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, possibly even death for the rider. If a vehicle struck you while riding or you lost a loved one, you could seek damages through the driver’s liability coverage. You can also file a personal injury lawsuit and seek a court-awarded offer. Our motorcycle accident lawyers can help you through the claims process while you recover from your injuries. 

Property Damage and Diminished Value Claims

Traffic accidents often come with vehicle damage, as well as injuries. Property damage and diminished value claims can provide awards to help you recover the cost of your vehicle repair or replacement. You can file these types of claims alongside a personal injury claim. We can investigate your vehicle damage and use resources to get an idea of what you stand to recover. 

Dog Bites

Dog bites can cause severe injuries and traumatize a victim. In addition, attacks can cause other injuries that could be grounds for a case. You can pursue a dog bite claim or lawsuit in Atlanta even if you were hurt in someone’s home. 

To hold a dog owner liable for your injuries, OCGA § 51-2-7 requires you to prove that the owner knew their dog was dangerous. According to OCGA § 4-8-21, dangerous dogs include those that have previously:

• Punctured skin when biting a person
• Attacked a person and caused a risk of serious injury
• Killed a pet outside of the owner’s premises

We can help you hold a dog owner responsible for your bite injuries by researching the dog’s history, interviewing witnesses, and consulting experts.

Premises Liability

Premises liability law involves a victim bringing a case against a negligent property owner. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises for the safety of their guests, invitees, and patrons. To collect compensation, you must prove that a property owner knew of or reasonably should have known of a hazard on their property. 

It can be a bit more challenging to prove a property owner should have known about a hazard. Our premises liability lawyers can construct timelines, talk to employees or guests, and review surveillance footage to highlight oversight. We can also defend you against claims you were at fault for your injuries.

Golf Cart Accidents

If a golf cart driver hit you or a vehicle driver hit your golf cart, you can seek compensation through an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. As with other auto accident cases, our golf cart accident lawyers will have to prove the driver was at fault for the accident.

ATV Accidents

ATV accidents can prove just as deadly as motor vehicle collisions, if not more so. Like motorcycles, ATVs offer the rider little protection from impact.

Unlike golf carts, you must register ATVs, and you are not allowed to operate them on any road or highway. The law restricts them to private property. If you suffered injuries in an ATV accident, you could seek compensation from the liable party.

Boating Accidents

Reckless operation of a boat or watercraft is illegal, and boating accidents can result in severe, life-threatening injuries for swimmers, boaters, and passengers.

If the other party in your accident violated boating rules or behaved in a way you believe was negligent, our Atlanta attorneys can help you navigate an insurance claim or lawsuit.

Train Accidents

Unfortunately, many train accidents are fatal. These accidents can happen at railroad crossings; some involve faulty warning devices. If you lost a loved one, you could seek damages from the government agency regulating the railroad crossing. Sometimes, another motorist may cause a train accident at a railroad crossing. You can also seek compensation in this situation.

Product Liability

Product liability incidents include any failure by the manufacturer, designer, or distributor to follow safety regulations when designing, producing, or labeling a product and put its consumers at risk of injury.

Along with ensuring a safe product design, manufacturers must warn users of any risks or side effects associated with their products. Failure to warn constitutes a product liability case as much as a dangerous product does.

If you suffered injuries due to a faulty piece of equipment, a defective auto part, or a dangerous drug, you could seek damages from the manufacturer.

Workers’ Compensation

We also handle workers’ compensation cases if you suffered harm while on the job. Unlike other personal injury cases, you do not have to prove your employer acted negligently to collect workers’ compensation benefits. You can file a claim if your employer carries this type of insurance.

Wrongful Death Claims

If any of the above accidents resulted in the loss of a loved one, you could file a wrongful death case. Other fatal accidents not mentioned above may also qualify you for compensation.

No amount of money can replace your loved one, but a settlement or verdict can help your family financially cope in their absence. Our law firm can handle your wrongful death case and seek fair compensation from the liable party while you spend time with your family and honor the memory of your loved one.

Other Personal Injury Cases

You can contact us if you do not see your specific accident listed above. We can determine your legal options based on the unique nature of your case. Contact our personal injury lawyers today and receive a free case consultation.

How To Protect Your Rights Following a Personal Injury Accident in Atlanta

Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys can do a lot to help you protect your rights, including:

• Preserving evidence that could support your case
• Preventing you from being manipulated by adjusters or negligent parties, especially in your official statements to them
• Reviewing any settlement offers or insurance paperwork to ensure you do not sign away your right to proper compensation
• Ensuring you know and follow the statute of limitations for your case so that you do not lose your chance to pursue a lawsuit
• Attending legal meetings as your representative to present your case, such as negotiation meetings to discuss a potential settlement agreement
• Handing communications with all involved parties to protect your case and any information involved with it as it is ongoing

At Kaine Law, we work with you to protect your compensation and future following an injury caused by negligence.

Our Atlanta Personal Injury Attorneys Can Also Provide Legal Counsel to Guide You

Having an attorney representing you means you will have a legal advocate who understands Georgia law and can present your case. Your attorney represents your decisions, but they don’t make them for you. They can provide you with legal advice, such as:

• Whether you should pursue an insurance claim, personal injury lawsuit, or both
• When you should file a personal injury lawsuit if you pursue that route
• Whether you should pursue multiple claims or lawsuits if multiple liable parties exist
• Whether you should accept a settlement offer based on our calculations for your damages, continue negotiating a better deal, or move forward with your case to pursue compensation in trial
• How you should respond to insurance adjusters and any other party reaching out to you for statements on your case
• What actions you can take to collect evidence for your case, such as taking photos of your injury as you recover

Our legal team will respect your decisions. While we will offer advice and explain potential outcomes for certain legal decisions, ultimately, these decisions will be yours to make. Additionally, we will provide case updates and explain how these developments may affect your case, which could influence how you move forward in litigation.

Follow Through With Your Treatment Plan To Protect Your Right to Compensation After an Atlanta Accident

After any type of accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. Your case depends on medical documentation, and a doctor can diagnose your injury and provide evidence that links it to your accident.

Follow through with your prescribed treatment plan and show up for your doctor’s appointments, too. Forgoing treatment could lead to an insurer denying your claim or offering you less than you deserve. They may argue that your injuries are not severe or that you worsened them by refusing medical treatment.

You Generally Have Two Years to File Your Personal Injury Lawsuit in Georgia

Georgia’s statutes of limitation set time limits for all injury lawsuits. Whether you were in a collision or slip and fall accident, you generally have two years to file your case, per OCGA § 9-3-33. 

Missing the deadline, the court could dismiss your case, barring you from seeking damages via litigation. We encourage you to start your case as soon as possible. Once you call us, Kaine Law can work immediately to help you abide by any relevant deadlines.

Atlanta Wrongful Death Lawsuits Also Have a Filing Deadline

If you lost a loved one to a preventable accident, we could file your wrongful death lawsuit promptly. The same statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits applies to wrongful death lawsuits—generally two years from the date of your family member’s death.

Only certain people can file this type of lawsuit, per OCGA § 51-4-2. Our Atlanta personal injury team can explain who may file or benefit from a wrongful death lawsuit.

Other Reasons Why You Should Not Postpone Filing Your Atlanta Personal Injury Case

There are other reasons why you shouldn’t wait until the last minute to start putting your case together. For example:

• Witnesses may forget details of the accident as time goes on. It is better to record their testimonies as close to the accident’s date as possible, as their memories will be more accurate. Waiting could result in conflicting testimonies.
• Video footage may be time-sensitive. Some surveillance data software erases old footage and re-records over memory files on a timed basis. Many security systems are auto-programmed to reset the footage every 30 days, leaving a small window to request a copy of that footage before it is erased.

Filing a lawsuit does not necessarily mean your case will go to trial, as there could still be an opportunity to negotiate an out-of-court settlement deal with the insurance companies. Our attorneys often use lawsuits as leveraging tools during negotiations to show the opposing side that we’re serious about our client’s cases.

How Negligence Applies to Your Atlanta Personal Injury Case

Our Atlanta personal injury lawyers can gather evidence, such as police reports, eyewitness statements, and medical records, to illustrate how another party’s negligence caused or contributed to your losses. We will prove the four elements of negligence:

• Duty of care
• Breach of the duty of care
• Causation
• Damages
