Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Hampton, GA

A personal injury claim arises from when you are injured due to another person’s action or failure to act. In legal terms, this is known as a duty to act. For instance, all people have a duty to obey traffic laws. Failing in this duty is called a breach of duty and results in negligence.

If the other person’s action or inaction causes your injury, then you have a claim for negligence. Injuries do not need to be physical. You can sue for pain and suffering and emotional trauma as well as broken bones.

FAQ: Your Personal Injury Questions Answered

A wise man once said there are no foolish questions. Here are a few questions with answers you may not have thought about before.

If my medical bills are low, do I still have a personal injury claim?

Yes. There is no minimum level for filing a personal injury claim. It’s important to consult an attorney to determine the best course of action in your case before deciding if your claim needs legal action.

Should I pay my medical bills now, or wait until the settlement is finalized?

No. The purpose of a legal settlement is payment of your medical bills. The payment comes from the settlement. You may have some out-of-pocket expenses that are not covered by your insurance, such as co-pays. In that case, you should keep all receipts and invoices and give them to your attorney to include in your settlement.

What is a medical lien and how does it affect my personal injury case?

A “medical lien” is filed by the doctor or hospital against your claim. In general, the provider bills your insurance, and then if the insurer does not pay in full, the provider files a lien so that when you file a lawsuit against your insurance company, the provider receives payment from the settlement.

Medical liens are not filed against the patient, but against the cause of action (the lawsuit). Providers cannot file medical liens until after they’ve received a rejection from the insurance company.

Am I required to notify my insurance company about my personal injury case?

Yes. You should tell them as soon as there is an accident in which you’ll be filing an insurance claim. In cases of car accidents, your policy may require you to notify them. Once you do so, be careful what you tell them. It is in your best interest to tell your insurer as little as possible until you talk to an attorney.

What information should I gather from a business if I’m injured due to their negligence?

At a minimum, you need:

• The full legal name of the business or company
• The business address
• The name and address of the registered agent. This may not be the address of the location where you were injured
• Any license or permit numbers

Many of these are available from the Georgia Secretary of State website. Even small businesses may have names of incorporation quite different from their business names. Also, be aware that large corporations like Target or Walmart have multiple business offices and registered agents, so you must locate the correct one. Your attorney can help you with this.

How do you report an injury when a third-party business is responsible for the accident?

A third-party injury means that you were injured by a vendor or other licensee on the property. For instance, you were shopping at Target but got hit by a Hostess delivery truck. In that case, you must contact the at-fault company’s insurer directly with all necessary information.

You may still have a cause of action against the other business, depending on the type and nature of your injury. An attorney should review the facts in this case and see what happened and what your next steps should be.
