No one who’s been wrongfully injured should have to fight the uphill battle ahead on their own. From the moment you sit down with Attorney Miller, you will understand that you are working with a knowledgeable Georgia personal injury lawyer who truly cares about you and your family’s well-being, and who will fight, tooth-and-nail, for the compensation you truly require to get back on your feet once again. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, which means that if we do not win, you do not have to pay.
The unfortunate reality of today’s day in age is that serious accidents occur nearly every day here in Georgia, and if you have been injured in an accident due to no fault of your own, you should strongly consider hiring Attorney Miller of the Miller Law Practice, LLC, who has significant experience handling a wide array of personal injury claims, including but not limited to the following:
To win a personal injury claim, you and your attorney will have to gather and present sufficient evidence to prove that you were injured due to another party’s negligence. Some of the most beneficial forms of evidence include witness statements, pictures of the unsafe conditions that caused your accident, pictures of any property damage that occurred as a result of the accident, police reports filed at the scene of the accident, medical documentation regarding the extent of your injuries, and more. Our firm is here to help you obtain all of the necessary documentation needed to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim.
If you were injured in an accident and our firm can prove that your injuries occurred as a direct result of another party’s negligence, you should recover financial compensation for two types of damages: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages deal with the financial cost of an injury, including:
That being said, on the other hand, non-economic damages deal with non-monetary damages you’ve sustained as a result of your accident, including:
The Miller Law Practice, LLC understands that the implications of an accident can affect an individual for years to come, and in a wide variety of ways, which is why our Marietta personal injury lawyer is here to fight for the maximum compensation on your behalf.
One of the first things an insurance company will try to do is shift blame onto you. That tactic is not accidental, because under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule, every percentage point of fault assigned to you comes directly out of your pocket.
Georgia’s apportionment statute, O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, provides that a plaintiff who is 50 percent or more responsible for the injury or damages claimed is entitled to receive nothing at all. Below that threshold, you may still recover, but your award is reduced in proportion to your share of the blame. If a jury values your damages at $100,000 and finds you 20 percent at fault, you take home $80,000. If that same jury moves you to 50 percent, you take home nothing.
This is a hard cutoff, not a sliding scale, and it is precisely why adjusters press injured people for recorded statements and comb through social media accounts in the days after a crash or a fall. An offhand apology at the scene or a stray comment about “not really looking” can become the foundation of a comparative fault argument months later.
Georgia also permits fault to be apportioned to nonparties, meaning a defendant can point to someone you never sued in an effort to shrink its own share. Our Marietta legal team anticipates these arguments early, builds the evidence to rebut them, and works to keep your fault percentage as low as the facts allow.
Every state has a statute of limitations in place when it comes to personal injury claims. The statute of limitations acts as a deadline by which you must file your personal injury claim. Since the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Georgia is, generally, two years, in most cases, you will only have two years from the date of your injury to take legal action against the party responsible. Waiting any longer than two years will most likely result in you being permanently time-barred from suing.
You should also understand that if you were injured on property that is owned by the government, you will have far less time to take legal action against the governmental entity responsible for your injuries. In this case, you may have to file a Notice of Claim well before the two-year deadline — within six months for a claim against a city such as Marietta or Smyrna under O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5, or within 12 months for a claim against a county or the State of Georgia.
As a general rule of thumb, it is always best to bring your claim to our firm’s attention as soon as possible. This is because the longer you wait to file your claim, the harder it can be to prove your claim. In many cases, over time, witnesses will disappear, evidence can get lost, and more. Our Marietta personal injury lawyer is ready to fight for your right to heal today. All you have to do is pick up the phone and give our firm a call.
The bottom line is that if you were injured as a result of another party’s negligence, the time to act is now, and you cannot afford to hire an attorney who doesn’t truly care about your right to heal. While many attorneys see their clients as strictly clients, Attorney Miller sees his clients as people who need financial compensation to help them get their lives back to normal once again. The claims process is not always easy, but with our firm on your side, you can have peace of mind knowing that we will do everything in our power to win a favorable outcome on your behalf.
