Personal Injury Attorneys in Riverdale, GA

Riverdale, GA is a working-class town. People here have a fairly easy commute to Atlanta via Interstate 75 (I-75). Traffic-related accidents and other types of accidents with injuries happen frequently in the Riverdale, GA area, and when they are caused by another party’s negligence or reckless actions, those who are injured deserve to be fully compensated. Unfortunately, however, this does not always happen when victims pursue an injury claim on their own.

When someone suffers a personal injury in Riverdale, GA, they will normally be dealing with the responsible party’s insurer, and large insurance carriers devote a lot of resources to fighting these claims. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible for the injuries that you have sustained; and as such, their interests are not aligned with yours. In a situation like this, it is best to have a skilled legal advocate in your corner who is dedicated to protecting your best interests.

At Stein & Fox, we have over five decades of combined experience representing victims of personal injuries in Riverdale and other Atlanta area communities. Our lawyers are focused exclusively on personal injury and related areas of the law, and we have a successful track record with even the most complex cases. We work closely with our clients, and we fight hard to ensure that those responsible for their injuries are held fully accountable.

Personal Injury Claims in Riverdale, GA

We handle all types of personal injury cases in Riverdale and other Atlanta area communities. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Auto Accidents: Car crashes happen frequently in the Atlanta Metro area. Under Georgia law, if a car accident victim is less than 50% responsible for the crash, they can still receive at least partial compensation for their injuries.
  • Trucking Accidents: Commercial truck accidents tend to result in more severe and catastrophic injuries because of the sheer size of the vehicles involved and the force of the crash upon impact. We help victims recover compensation for their damages and suffering.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcycle crashes have been on the rise in recent years, largely because of distracted motorists who do not pay close enough attention to what is happening on the road. We know how to help victims get the compensation they deserve.
  • Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrian crashes have also been increasing during the past several years for the same reasons as motorcycle accidents – mainly the rise in texting while driving and similar practices that cause motorists to focus on their cell phones rather than on the roads. We can help victims recover monetary damages.
  • Slip And Fall Accidents: It is the responsibility of property owners to take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe for invited guests. When they fail in this duty and someone gets hurt because of a known hazard on their property, the injured person can file a premises liability claim against the owner or caretaker.
  • Workplace Accidents: Numerous accidents occur in the workplace each year, and the chances of an accident are higher in more dangerous occupations such as construction. When a Riverdale worker gets hurt on the job, their first recourse is usually to file a workers’ compensation claim. But in many cases, there are outside parties (other than their employer or a co-worker) that could be responsible for the accident. In these instances, the injured worker may be able to file a personal injury claim directly against the party that was at fault.
  • Wrongful Death: In the most tragic cases, a Riverdale personal injury victim does not survive. When this occurs, the victim’s loved ones can file a wrongful death claim against the party that was responsible.

The Importance of Getting Prompt Medical Attention After a Riverdale, GA Accident

If you are involved in an accident or event that may result in an injury, the first thing you should do is get medical attention. Even if you do not feel like you are injured, you should still get checked out by a health professional just to be on the safe side.

In some cases, symptoms of injuries do not show up right away – this is usually due to the trauma of the event and the shock and adrenaline rush that those involved experience, which masks the pain of the injury. But symptoms could show up later on and waiting to get medical attention could make your injuries far worse. A good example of this is with internal injuries, which you might not feel right away but in some instances could be life-threatening.

Here is a short list of Riverdale, GA area medical facilities where you can go in and get checked out after an accident:

  • Riverdale Medical Center
  • Southern Regional Medical Center
  • Southside Medical Center
  • Atlanta Ropheka Medical Center
  • Caedel Medical Group

Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim in Riverdale, GA

When someone in Riverdale, GA is injured and another party is at fault, they are entitled to damages for both the direct monetary losses that they sustained as well as the non-economic losses that are real but more intangible and difficult to quantify. The first category would include losses such as current and future medical bills, lost earnings, and property damage. The second category would include losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.

In some limited cases, punitive damages might be awarded as a way of punishing the wrongdoing and discouraging similarly egregious actions from occurring in the future. Punitive damages are only awarded in cases in which there is clear and convincing evidence that the defendant’s actions were willful, malicious, fraudulent, or grossly negligent.

Georgia caps punitive damages at $250,000 in most cases. Some notable exceptions to this cap include product liability claims, injuries that are caused by chemical impairment (excluding legally prescribed drugs), and cases in which the defendant clearly acted with the specific intent to harm the plaintiff.
