What kind of damages can I get through my Georgia personal injury claim after an Atlanta injury accident?

 

A: When most people think about filing a Georgia personal injury claim they typically only think about their medical bills. While this is the main concern, there are many other ways you can suffer financial losses after you're seriously injured. Your Atlanta injury accident lawyer can help you identify all applicable losses that you can seek compensation for in a claim.

Losses that are considered damages due to your accident can fall into a wide number of categories. Any financial losses are considered damages, and there is also the case of emotional losses. You'll want an experienced Atlanta injury accident lawyer to help you with the latter, as they can be much harder to prove.

Financial damages you can seek include:
 

  • medical expenses;
  • lost wages;
  • property damage; and
  • expenses to provide for disability modifications. 

Remember that it's not just your current financial losses for which you can seek compensation. Through a Georgia personal injury claim you can seek present and future damages, ensuring that you have the money necessary for additional medical and living needs.

Emotional damages are known as "pain and suffering" and are less tangible than your financial damages. Therefore, it's hard to place a value on how much money would compensate the type of emotional trauma and life changes the accident resulted in. These types of damages are designed to help you cope with your losses and adjust to your life after a serious injury.

To maximize your chance at obtaining a fair settlement for your Georgia personal injury claim, you'll want professional help. An experienced Atlanta injury accident lawyer will have the knowledge of similar cases to help you determine a fair settlement for your damages.
