Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Atlanta

How much is my Atlanta personal injury case worth?

In personal injury cases, victims may be eligible for the following types of compensation.

  1. Property Damage: This covers the cost of repairing or replacing any other personal property damaged in the accident.
  2. Medical Expenses: All reasonable medical bills incurred as a result of the accident that caused your injuries, including current treatments and estimated future medical costs.
  3. Lost Wages: Compensation for any time missed from work due to the accident, including decreased earning capacity if the injury impacts your ability to work in the future.
  4. Pain and Suffering: This non-economic damage is left to the “enlightened conscience of the jury” and often constitutes the largest portion of the award. It compensates for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  5. Punitive Damages: In cases involving extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.

Do I have a personal injury case in Atlanta?

You might think a fender bender or a slip and fall isn’t a big deal, but even small accidents can have unforeseen complications. You may wake up with a sore back a few days later, or the other person might change their story about what happened. For this reason, it’s always a wise idea to chat with a personal injury attorney — even for seemingly minor incidents. We can help you understand your options and make sure you’re not struggling alone if things get more complicated down the road.

Many personal injury cases are settled out of court, and Weatherby Law will advise the best course of action based on your case’s specifics. We only recommend a trial if we’re confident in a win. The bottom line? Our goal is to respect your recovery process by securing the largest possible settlement without the added time and expense of a trial.

How much time do I have to file an injury case in Atlanta?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is two years in the state of Georgia. Consult with Weatherby Law Firm to make sure there aren’t any exceptions in your case and to meet all timelines relevant to your case.

How much will it cost to hire an Atlanta personal injury lawyer?

At Weatherby Law, our services are free unless we win. There are no upfront costs. Our Atlanta personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means that there is no fee unless we recover something for you in your personal injury case. At that point, an agreed-upon percentage goes to the firm.

How much do Atlanta personal injury cases settle for?

The value of your case is influenced by a variety of factors including the extent of economic and non-economic damages, your percentage of fault, and the integrity of the evidence used to substantiate your account of the crash.

As the most resourceful personal injury lawyer in Atlanta, it is Weatherby Law’s  job to maximize your settlement by collecting and preserving this evidence, which might include:

  • Information exchanged at the accident scene
  • Police reports and any issued tickets
  • Photographs of damages and the accident scene
  • Statements given to insurance companies
  • Medical records and bills
  • Expert testimony

How long does a personal injury case take in Georgia?

Every case is different, but most personal injury cases in Georgia resolve within 6 months to 2 years. Straightforward cases with clear liability and a cooperative insurance company can settle in a matter of months. More complex cases — especially those involving serious injuries, disputed fault, or a trial — can take longer.

One important factor: you should never accept a settlement before you’ve reached maximum medical improvement, because once you settle, you can’t go back and ask for more. At Weatherby Law Firm, we move cases forward as efficiently as possible while making sure you don’t leave money on the table by settling too soon.
