How an East Point Deck Collapse Accident Attorney Can Help with Your Case
Here are just a few examples of the many services we provide for our clients who get injured in deck collapse accidents in East Point:
- We answer your questions and take the time to listen to you about how the accident has affected your life. We are proud to deliver responsive legal care.
- We thoroughly investigate every deck collapse accident that we handle. Liability issues can be tricky in these cases. Often, there are multiple potential defendants who will each deny liability and blame the other party. We look for answers to questions about the causation of the deck collapse.
- As we investigate, we gather evidence that proves who caused the collision. This evidence will help form the basis of your claim for compensation from the at-fault party.
- We deal directly with the defendant’s insurance company on your behalf, providing the information they need to evaluate your claim. This frees you from having to have multiple interactions with the insurer for this information.
- We will negotiate with the at-fault party’s insurance company and try to settle your injury claim for a fair amount.
- If the defendant’s insurance company refuses to pay a reasonable amount of compensation for your injuries and other losses, and if it is appropriate to do so, we can file a lawsuit asking for an award of damages.
- Even after we file a lawsuit, we continue negotiating with the defendant’s insurance carrier. A large majority of these cases settle out of court without the need for a trial.
Of course, when handling your deck collapse accident injury claim and a lawsuit, there are many additional tasks we perform.

Georgia’s Statute of Limitations for East Point Deck Collapse Accident Cases
You do not want to wait too long to talk to Kaine Law about your deck collapse injury claim. In Georgia, you generally only have two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit under O.C.G.A § 9-3-33. If a municipality caused or contributed to your injury, you generally only have six months under O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5, to file a lawsuit.
If you miss the filing deadline, you can lose all rights to pursue compensation from the negligent party who caused your injury. The statute of limitations is critical even if you want to settle your case rather than litigate. The defendant and their insurance company will not negotiate with you after the filing deadline passes.

The Elements of Liability in East Point Deck Collapse Accident Claims
We will have to prove all four of these elements of negligence to hold the at-fault party accountable for your injuries and other losses:
- Duty of care: The defendant must have owed you a duty of care. For example, the construction company had a duty to build a safe deck for people to use.
- Breach of duty: The defendant breached their duty of care by not building the deck to code, resulting in an unsafe deck.
- Causation: The negligence of the defendant in building an unsafe deck caused the deck to collapse.
- Damages: You sustained damages as a result of the accident because you suffered physical injuries.
When we can establish all four of these elements of negligence, the defendant is liable. We can pursue a claim for compensation against them for your losses.
