Experienced Georgia Personal Injury Attorney
When most people think of the term “personal injury,” they think of a car accident or a slip and fall on an icy sidewalk. And they would be correct. However, for those who are injured because of the negligence of others, the term can be, well, more “personal.” Injuries sustained from car accidents or slips and falls can be not just physically debilitating, but financially as well. You deserve to be compensated for your injuries if they were caused by the negligence of others.
If you are unable to work because of a personal injury caused by someone’s negligence, give the Mann Law Firm a call today at (478) 742-3381. We have been working on personal injury cases for over 50 years and know the tactics insurance companies use to settle cases for the lowest amounts possible. Insurance companies do not work for you — they work for their shareholders. David Mann at the Mann Law Firm works for you and you only, to help you become financially whole again.
What Is a Personal Injury?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, says in a report that it uses the word “accident” to mean “an unintentional injury, death or an unintentional nonfatal event.” The CDC goes on to say, “The word is used sparingly because of its history of being considered by some to be inappropriate to describe events that are preventable.” Indeed, not every event that results in personal injury or death is an accident. Many are the product of recklessness or negligence; some are intentional. Personal injuries are often preventable. When a person suffers pain and loss because of another party’s improper action (recklessness) or lack of action (negligence), they should consult a personal injury lawyer. Such a lawyer can assist in ensuring the injured person is compensated for the expenses and pain their injury causes.
Personal Injury Claims in Georgia
Personal injuries happen every day and in every situation – on the road, at work, at home, and in the hospital, grocery store or shopping mall. An accident can result in a variety of catastrophic injuries, including, but certainly not limited to, neck, back or spinal cord injury; traumatic brain injury (TBI); paralysis; severe burns; or loss of limb(s), i.e., amputation.
What some don’t realize is that the injury a person suffers, such as in a burn injury lawsuit, produces not just physical harm but psychological and financial injury as well. Recovery from a serious personal injury is a trial of pain, suffering and expenses. An injured person might recover over a period of weeks, months or longer while not being able to work to pay for such expenses as primary medical care, medicine, therapy and rehabilitation, in-home care, a wheelchair, and property damage, such as to repair or replace a car after a wreck. In cases especially concerning road incidents, having a truck accident lawyer can be invaluable in navigating the complexities of such situations.
Georgia law provides for personal injury lawsuits as a mechanism for relief to those hurt by the recklessness or negligence of others. Such legal claims are meant to make the victim whole again financially. This is where an experienced Georgia injury lawyer like those at the Mann Law Firm can help. People who are injured by others deserve to be compensated for their losses, but aggressive legal help is usually required to realize that goal.
