An East Point MARTA Accident Lawyer could help you seek compensation from the accountable party if you got injured in an accident that was not your fault. People can get hurt in MARTA stations, on the platforms, and when boarding and exiting the trains and buses, as well as when inside the vehicles.
You do not have to fight this battle by yourself. When you work with an East Point personal injury lawyer, you can get the rest you need to recuperate while we handle your injury claim.

Monetary Damages in East Point MARTA Accident Claims
The compensation you could pursue for your MARTA accident injury claim will depend on the specific facts of your case. Every MARTA accident claim is different. Another person injured in the same accident could likely pursue a different amount of monetary damages than you.
Some of the common types of compensation people seek after getting injured in a MARTA accident include:
- Lost wages if they did not receive their usual income when convalescing from their injuries. This category could include salary, wages, or self-employment income.
- Future lost wages if a long-term disability prevents them from earning as much money as they did before the accident.
- Medical expenses to treat their wounds. These costs could include the ambulance, emergency room, doctors, hospital, surgery, physical therapy, x-rays, prescription drugs, and other items or services related to their injuries.
- Future medical expenses if the victim’s severe wounds will need additional medical procedures. You cannot go back and ask for more money from the defendant after your case settles or you get a jury award, so we must include all anticipated costs in the original personal injury case.
- Pain and suffering damages. The payment of medical bills alone does not adequately compensate a person for the unpleasant experience of a MARTA accident and their injuries. The physical discomfort, emotional stress, and inconvenience of getting injured in a MARTA accident may be compensable.
- Other intangible losses. Many people develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a frightening accident involving a bus or train. This medical condition can be debilitating. Also, if a person is left with scars, disfigurement, or a disability from the accident, they can seek compensation for those losses.
If your close relative died because of injuries from a MARTA accident, we can help you seek additional compensation for your family via a wrongful death claim or lawsuit.

Georgia’s Statute of Limitations for East Point MARTA Accident Cases
Georgia places a time limit on filing lawsuits. These time limits, called statutes of limitations, are surprisingly short in some cases. For example, under O.C.G.A § 9-3-33, you must file a lawsuit within two years or lose all right to compensation.
If your claim is against the city of East Point, O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5 gives you only six months to take legal action on your personal injury or wrongful death claim.
