Building towards a successful personal injury lawsuit

If you were hurt and have a potential personal injury lawsuit at hand, taking the right steps at the
right time is crucial. Know what you need to in order to stay on top of your situation.

Steps to take after
being hurt

If you were hurt in an incident that wasn’t your fault, you’re likely confused and unsure of your next steps. Before making any decisions, follow these steps to protect your rights and potential case.

Your safety is the priority. Wherever the incident happened, remove yourself from the source of the injury and find a still, quiet place to wait for emergency responders in the next step.

If you are able, call 911 and ask for an ambulance and police. If you are unable to dial, ask someone to call for you.

Evidence is crucial in a successful personal injury case. If you are able, take photos and videos of the scene (your cellphone will do). Capture images of your injuries, the exact location of the incident, and any property damage.

Chances are someone saw what happened to you. If you are physically able, ask witnesses for their names and contact information. Later, you can provide this information to your Atlanta personal injury lawyer, who can contact the witnesses on your behalf.

Confusion and disorientation make it difficult to remember crucial details of an event. That’s why you should keep a written or digital record of your experience in the hours, days, and weeks after your injury. You can use a journal or your Notes app to record how you feel on each passing day. This record can help establish the need for compensation.

Get in touch with an Atlanta personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the incident. The more time passes, the more distance you put between yourself and fair compensation. Harrison Injury Law can not only work to put together a powerful case, but help you receive prompt medical treatment so you can focus on your physical recovery while we focus on your financial recovery.

Make sure you file
a claim on time

If you were hurt in an incident caused by someone else, you have exactly two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. This deadline is known as the “statute of limitations,” and you must follow it if you want to recover compensation.

Possible damages you can claim

The term “damages” refers to the financial losses that you suffered as a direct result of the incident that caused your injury.
There are two main types of damages you can claim in a personal injury lawsuit: economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages

These are the easily quantifiable, recorded damages that come with a “paper trail” of bills, invoices, and receipts.

They include things like:
  • Medical bills
  • Physical
    therapy
  • Prescriptions
  • Lost wages/
    income

Non-economic damages

These are more difficult to quantify because they don’t always come with a bill or receipt. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t real.

These damages include things like:
  • Pain and
    suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment
    in life
  • Fear and shock
  • Loss of earning
    capacity
  • Physical
    impairment
  • Past and future
    mental anguish

Parties who may be liable for your injury

“Liability” boils down to responsibility. When we say a person is “liable” in an incident, that means they wholly or partially caused the incident and are therefore responsible for compensating the victims.

We can’t tell you exactly who may be liable for the incident without knowing the specific details of your case.

However, certain parties tend to be implicated in personal injury lawsuits more often than others:
  • Reckless, distracted, or impaired drivers
  • Property owners who fail to maintain reasonably safe premises
  • Negligent medical professionals
  • Careless or negligent contractors or subcontractors 

Atlanta personal injury
lawsuit process

You’re not alone on this journey – your dedicated personal injury attorney in Atlanta will be with you for every step discussed below.
1. Consultation
During your free legal consultation, we learn your story and explain your possible options for seeking compensation.
2. Investigation
The common denominator in all successful cases? Evidence. After your consultation, we conduct a thorough investigation to learn the direct cause of your injuries and identify all potentially liable parties.
3. File demand for compensation
Once we identify the parties who may be liable for your injury, we’ll create an estimate for compensation based on the expenses you’ve already incurred. We’ll send that estimate to all responsible parties’ insurance companies.
4. Negotiation
Once the liable parties receive their demand letters, we’ll enter into negotiation. We’ll work to reach an appropriate settlement that covers all of your expenses, including past, present, and future expenses.
5. File a lawsuit
If the other party and their insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we’ll take the matter to court. The first step in that process is to file a lawsuit, then serve (notify) the other party with the lawsuit.
6. Mediation
Personal injury lawsuits don’t go straight to trial. After the defendant has been served with the lawsuit, both parties will enter into mediation, another out-of-court option to reach common ground and offer a reasonable settlement amount. Most lawsuits settle at or before mediation.
7. Trial
If the other party still refuses to offer a fair settlement, we’ll take them to trial. At the end of the trial, a jury will decide whether the other party is liable for your damages, and if so, how much they should pay to compensate you for your financial and emotional losses.
