What Is Personal Injury?
A personal injury case is a legal dispute that arises when one person suffers injury or harm for which someone else is legally responsible. You may pursue a personal injury claim for damages in a civil lawsuit through the court system. However, most personal injury disputes are resolved through informal settlement out of court.
Common Causes of Personal Injury
A personal injury claim may arise when the negligent, reckless, or intentional behavior of a person or entity causes injury to another, or when the injury is covered by strict liability (absolute legal responsibility that can be imposed without proof of carelessness or fault). Common causes of personal injury include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Premises liability (accidents caused by hazardous conditions on someone else’s property)
- Product liability (dangerous products, drugs, and medical devices)
- Construction accidents (when a party other than your employer is at fault for your injuries)
What Damages Can You Recover?
Damages in a personal injury claim in Georgia may be made up of a combination of the following:
- Economic damages: This includes past and future medical expenses, lost wages, future loss of earnings, property damage, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
- Noneconomic damages: This category includes more subjective damages, such as pain and suffering, anxiety and stress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium (benefits of a relationship with a spouse or family member).
- Punitive damages: Also known as exemplary damages, punitive damages are awarded only in certain cases involving willful, reckless, or wanton conduct. They are designed to punish the defendant for wrongdoing and to deter similar actions in the future. To recover punitive damages in a personal injury lawsuit, you must prove that the responsible party more likely than not committed the act that caused your injuries.
