Peachtree Personal Injury Lawyers

When someone gets injured in the Peachtree City, GA area because of the negligence or reckless actions of another party, they deserve to be fully compensated. But unfortunately, insurance companies do not usually see things the same way. They want to pay injury victims as little as possible for the losses that they sustain because their main interest is protecting their bottom line. This is why it pays to have an experienced attorney working on your behalf to ensure that your best interests are protected.

At Stein & Fox, we know that a serious injury can turn someone’s life upside down, and we are here to provide strong legal guidance and moral support during this difficult time. Our firm has over 50 years of combined experience representing personal injury victims in Peachtree City and communities throughout the Atlanta Metro area, and we know what it takes to ensure that our clients secure a favorable outcome. You can count on us to fight hard for the full and fair compensation you need and deserve.

Do I Have a Valid Peachtree City, GA Personal Injury Claim?

There are a number of different types of accidents and events in which the injured person may be able to pursue damages. These include:

  • Car Accidents
  • Truck Accidents
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Golf Cart Accidents
  • Boating Accidents
  • Premises Liability Accidents (e.g., slip and fall)
  • Product Liability Accidents
  • Dog Bites/Animal Attacks
  • Workplace Accidents

Here are the main elements that are needed to prove a personal injury claim:

  • The defendant owed you a duty of care. In other words, the person or party who injured you had a duty to look out for your safety. For example, motorists have a duty to obey traffic laws and drive in a safe manner.
  • The duty of care was breached. Once it is established that a defendant owes a duty of care, the next thing that must be shown is that this duty was breached. In the case of a traffic-related accident, a motorist could breach his/her duty of care by speeding, driving while intoxicated, sending a text message while driving, or any number of other unsafe and/or illegal acts.
  • The plaintiff sustained compensable losses. It must be shown that the claimant/plaintiff sustained injuries and other losses that should be compensated. These could be financial losses such as medical bills and lost earnings, as well as property damage and physical and emotional suffering.
  • The defendant’s breach caused the plaintiff’s losses. The claimant/plaintiff must establish a causal relationship between the losses that they sustained and the defendant’s actions. For example, the defendant was texting while driving on the highway, weaved into the plaintiff’s lane while sending a text, and crashed into the plaintiff’s vehicle, causing injuries and other losses.

Personal injury claims are not always cut and dry, and as we touched on earlier, insurance companies will do whatever they can to muddy the waters and put your claim in doubt. One way that they might do this is by claiming that you were at least partially at fault for what happened.

In Georgia, if an injury claimant is partially liable, they can still recover damages as long as they are less than 50% responsible for the accident or event that caused their injuries. However, their damages are reduced in proportion to the percentage of fault that they share.

For example, if you sustained $100,000 in losses and you are found to be 25% at fault, your damage award would be lowered by $25,000 down to a total of $75,000. This is another reason why you want experienced attorneys advocating aggressively on your behalf. Otherwise, you could end up with significantly less compensation than you deserve.

Important Steps to Take After Being Injured in Peachtree City, GA

If you have recently been involved in an accident in which you may have sustained injuries, there are some things you should do right away to protect your interests:

Get Medical Attention

The number one priority after any type of accident is to ensure that everyone involved receives the medical help that they need. Even if you do not feel like you were injured, you should still get checked over just to be on the safe side. Here are some medical facilities in the Peachtree City, GA area where you can get treated:

  • Peachtree Medical Center in Tyrone
  • Piedmont Healthcare in Peachtree City
  • Undeniable Healthcare in Peachtree City
  • Peachtree City Urgent Care in Peachtree City

Document Everything

Retain documentation of everything related to the accident and injuries. This includes medical documents that connect your injuries to the accident, the police report, photos of the accident scene, and statements from eyewitnesses. It is also a good idea to create your own report while everything is fresh in your mind, and we advise keeping a daily journal documenting your day-to-day feelings and progress while recovering from your injuries.

Be Careful Who You Speak to and What You Say

Keep in mind that the things you say about your injury could be twisted and taken out of context to damage your claim. This is why it is best not to speak with any representative of the insurance company until you first speak with a lawyer. In addition, you should not post anything about your injuries on social media, and be sure to adjust your privacy settings so that you are not tagged in someone else’s social media post.
