Our Personal Injury Law Firm’s Primary Practice Areas
Personal injury law is a broad category of the law. Our team can handle almost any personal injury case. Some case types we regularly handle include:
Car Accidents
We help people file insurance claims, negotiate for settlements, and get paid after getting hurt in a car accident. In some cases, we will take the case to trial.
Construction Accidents
If you were hurt in a construction accident, we can fight for compensation from the construction company or those responsible for the accident.
Motorcycle Accidents
Sometimes motorcyclists get unfairly blamed for causing an accident. We represent bikers who are injured in motorcycle accidents because of negligent drivers and others on the road.
Slip & Fall
Property owners and managers are obligated to keep their property safe from foreseeable risks. If you were hurt because of a poorly maintained property, we can pursue a slip and fall case.
Truck Accidents
If you were hurt by an 18-wheeler, delivery truck, construction truck, or other type of commercial vehicle, you may have a right to payment. We will pursue every avenue for recovering damages after a truck accident.
Wrongful Death
We have experience representing families who have lost a loved one because of someone’s careless actions. Our team handles wrongful death cases with the utmost care.
Damages Available in Oakdale Personal Injury Cases
Plaintiffs pursuing an Oakdale personal injury case can recover economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages are financial losses, and non-economic damages are intangible, emotional losses.
We can help you recover economic damages, such as:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Increased transportation costs
- Medical devices and pharmaceuticals
We can also help you value and recover for your harder-to-quantify, non-economic damages, like:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship
Calculating damages can be tricky. Our Oakdale personal injury lawyers can help you understand how much money you are entitled to recover. It may be more than you expect.
What Does It Cost To Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Chatham County?
Personal injury lawyers in Chatham County typically charge a contingency fee. That means that you don’t pay your lawyer unless and until they win your case. If they lose, they don’t get paid anything. If they win, they get paid a percentage of your damages or the settlement.
The percentage of compensation your lawyer will take varies dramatically from lawyer to lawyer and case to case. More experienced lawyers taking on difficult cases will charge a higher percentage, for example, than new lawyers taking a case expected to settle quickly. Typically, the percentage will be between 33% and 40% of your total compensation.
Statute of Limitations in Georgia Personal Injury Cases
There is a two-year statute of limitations in both Georgia personal injury and wrongful death cases. The statute of limitations is the time that you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you try to file a lawsuit after this has passed, the court will dismiss your case, and you will lose all legal rights to request payment through the courts.
There are several factors that can affect how long you have to file your particular case. For example, cases involving minors or government entities may have different statutes of limitations. The best way to ensure you don’t miss your chance to recover is to discuss your case with a personal injury lawyer.
