No two personal injury cases are the same, but most cases arise in the same manner. Personal injury claims are initiated after the defendant’s negligent behavior leads to the plaintiff sustaining injuries. For example, a distracted driver who injures another driver on the road could be the defendant in a personal injury case because of the harm he has caused the other driver, who would be the plaintiff. In this case, distracted driving would be the negligent behavior that has injured the plaintiff.
Plaintiffs pursue legal action against the parties that have caused them harm in an attempt to recover damages. Personal injury victims may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more, depending on the details of the case. Most of the time, compensation is awarded during settlement talks between the two sides. However, it’s possible that your case may end up in court.

Car accidents are far too common in the state of Georgia, and many of these accidents are caused by negligent drivers. There are a number of different types of driver negligence, including distracted driving, driving while intoxicated, speeding, failing to use turning signals, failing to look before turning or changing lanes, and driving aggressively. If you have been injured by a negligent driver, you may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation.
Most car accident claims are paid by the at-fault driver’s insurance company. This means you will need to communicate with an insurance adjuster in order to recover compensation. This may not seem like an issue, but dealing with an insurance adjuster can be challenging, especially if you’ve never done so before. Insurance adjusters are only interested in trying to lower the value of your claim. Even though an insurance adjuster may not have your best interests in mind, an attorney does. Contact our attorneys today to learn how we can aggressively negotiate with the insurance company to help you recover what you deserve.
Truck accident cases are typically much more complex than car accident cases. One of the most challenging aspects of a truck accident case can be identifying the liable party. There are several parties that may have contributed to the cause of the accident, including the truck driver, trucking company, parts manufacturer, and the company that loaded the cargo onto the truck before it hit the road. The truck driver may have been distracted or intoxicated at the time of the accident, in which case the driver and the trucking company may both be liable for your injuries. It’s also possible that a defective part, such as the brakes or steering wheel, led to the accident, meaning the parts manufacturer could be to blame. Finally, the accident could have occurred as a result of improperly loaded cargo.
It can be difficult to get to the bottom of what caused the truck accident you were involved in, which is why it’s imperative that you work with an experienced personal injury attorney.

There is not much that a motorcyclist can do to protect himself in the event of a collision. Even if a motorcyclist is wearing a helmet, long-sleeved clothing, a thick leather jacket, and riding boots, he can still sustain serious injuries if he is hit by a car. This protective gear may limit the damage, but it won’t be enough to completely prevent injuries. The devastating injuries that motorcyclists sustain in an accident can completely disrupt their lives. Victims may have to take a leave of absence for medical treatment, making it difficult for them to make ends meet as they recover. Some victims may not be able to return to the same line of work that they performed prior to the accident. Additionally, motorcycle accident victims may suffer emotional pain as a result of their injuries. Victims that are physically able to get back on a bike may not have the desire to because of what they experienced.
Fortunately, there is help available for motorcycle accident victims. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, contact Spaulding Injury Law today to schedule a free consultation regarding your case.
