Types of Injury Cases Our Personal Injury Attorneys Handle in Chamblee, GA

“Personal injury” is a broad area of the law dealing with car accident injuries, injuries on other peoples’ property, defective product injuries, medical malpractice, and more.  The term “personal” injury refers specifically to bodily injuries and other harms that you face specific to you.  This is contrasted with other types of legal “injuries,” like trespassing on your land or damage to your property.  However, any property damage that occurred as part of your injury case can also be claimed, such as when your car is damaged in a car crash or your phone breaks in a slip and fall.

All in all, our attorneys handle any kind of injury case you might be involved in.  Most commonly, car accidents, slip and falls, and other injuries caused by accidents on someone else’s property (like stair collapses, electrocution, or injuries from fires) will be the most common types of accidents.  Injuries involving defective designs or manufacturing of various appliances, medications, auto parts, and other products are also somewhat common.

Our lawyers also help with injuries caused by negligent medical care, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and hospital-acquired illnesses.

Our personal injury lawyers can also assist with cases involving wrongful death.  When someone dies in an accident, it does harm to the family beyond what you might initially think about.  For example, if they were the main “breadwinner” in the family, your family could now be left without the financial support they depend on, and our lawyers can help you fight to get those damages compensated.

Work injuries are also a focus of ours.  Some cases might need to be filed as insurance claims because of specialized rules in this area of injury cases.  However, as long as you are suing a party other than your employer or coworkers, you can often sue directly to recover compensation for work injuries.

Who Can You Sue for Personal Injuries in Chamblee, GA?

Determining who you sue in your personal injury case is often a complex issue.  In some cases, you might have an obvious person who was there at the scene of the accident and directly caused your injuries.  In other cases, there might be someone who was responsible who was not even present at the scene.

The Person Who Caused an Accident

When someone causes your accident right in front of you, it is simple enough to determine how they are responsible.  This is common in car accidents, where the other driver running a red light or stop sign would be the prime defendant.  You can also sue for other accidents where someone’s direct actions injure you, whether intentionally or accidentally.

Property Owners/Operators

Property owners are often responsible for injuries related to dangers on the premises.  Slip and fall injuries, fires, electrocution, structural collapses, and other “premises liability” accidents are often blamed on the owner of the property where you were injured.  If that was a rental company, then it might be the tenant – whether that is a residential tenant or a commercial business – who was responsible for safety in that specific location.  In some rented properties, there might be common areas the owner or property manager directly manages, like lobbies in apartments and the hallways in malls.

Manufacturers

Manufacturers of dangerous products might not be present at all when the product is used or when it injures you, but they are still liable.  In some cases, stores or other sellers might be responsible in their place, but our lawyers can track down the right party to sue in cases like these.

Employers

If an accident was caused by a worker’s inattention or carelessness, you might be able to sue their employer.  This is common in truck and bus accident cases, where companies are often sued for their commercial drivers’ errors.  Similarly, stores, restaurants, and other businesses can likely be sued for something an employee did wrong, such as failing to clean up a spill.

When determining whether a hospital or an individual healthcare worker is liable for healthcare mistakes, the question of who employs the worker is often vital.  For example, a doctor in private practice might be sued instead of the hospital.  In contrast, a nurse might be a hospital employee, allowing you to sue the hospital.  When a hospital is sued for dangers on the premises instead of healthcare issues, it is usually janitorial and maintenance workers who caused the issue, so their employer bears responsibility in their place.

The strange exception to suing an employer is that you often cannot sue your own employer for injuries.  In accidents at work, you often have to find someone else to sue, such as owners of dangerous property, a driver who hit you, or the manufacturer of dangerous tools used at work.

How to File a Personal Injury Case in Chamblee, GA

If you are considering filing an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit, our attorneys can help.  First, we will gather evidence about what happened and who was liable.  Then, we will draw up a “complaint” that details these facts and arguments.  Next, we will calculate damages, analyzing the cost of medical care, lost wages, and other damages you faced, including pain and suffering.  This information will also be included in the complaint.

Once we have the case built, we can file an insurance claim and file our complaint in a court of law.  If the insurance company is willing to settle for a fair amount, the case can be completed quite quickly.  Otherwise, we will take it through the courts and to trial if needed to get you the damages you are owed.
