What to Do After a Personal Injury Accident

If you have been injured in any of the above types of accidents, it is important to take the right steps toward protecting yourself and your legal rights. At The Embry Law Firm, we often meet with clients who have been taken advantage of, or who simply didn’t know what to do. The result of these cases are clients who do not get the compensation and/or justice that they deserve.

If you are injured in any type of accident, our Dallas personal injury lawyer recommends the following:

• Report the accident to police
• Make sure a police report is filed
• Get medical attention (even if you think the injury is “minor”)
• Take photos of the accident scene, any damage, and any injuries
• Follow any and all medical instructions given to you by your doctor
• Contact a personal injury lawyer before speaking with insurance companies

Contacting a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible can help ensure that you get maximum compensation. Insurance companies may only offer you the minimum, or they may attempt to minimize your claims and the extent of your injuries. At The Embry Law Firm, our job is to make sure that your rights are protected and that you get the compensation that you need and deserve.

Personal Injury Claims in Dallas, Georgia

All states have personal injury laws (statutes) that dictate how personal injury lawsuits are managed. These laws help ensure that injured victims recover compensation when someone else’s negligence is the cause of their injuries. Some important things to consider about personal injury claims in Georgia:

There is a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims. That means you must file your claim within two years of the date of injury, otherwise the court may prohibit you from taking legal action.

You, as the victim (plaintiff), have the burden of proving your claims. That means you must prove:

• The person responsible (defendant) had a duty of care to you. That means they have an obligation to act in a reasonable way that does not harm others.
• The defendant breached their duty of care. Examples include a drunk driver swerving into your lane and hitting you head on; or a surgeon accidentally leaving a sponge inside you.
• The defendant’s breach in their duty of care directly caused your injuries.
• The injuries caused you harm or damages. Damages refer to the losses you experienced as a result of the accident. This may include financial losses, pain and suffering, and mental anguish.

It is important to make sure that your personal injury claim meets state laws.
