About Georgia Personal Injury Law
Injury Victims Have Rights — We Protect Them
Imagine that you are seriously injured by a reckless driver. Doctors are able to save your life, but after weeks in the hospital, you are left with a permanent brain injury. You are no longer able to do the work you once did to support yourself and your family. You are swimming in debt from medical bills you can't pay, and will need ongoing medical care and rehabilitation for your injuries for the rest of your life.
Shouldn't the person responsible for injuring you and robbing you of the life you once lived be held responsible for the damages? Common sense says yes. And so do Georgia's personal injury laws.
Making You Whole Again
Personal injury victims have a legal right to financial compensation. The intent of the law is to make injury victims whole again — as if the accident had never happened.
With that said, we realize that in some cases financial compensation can never truly make up for the damages suffered. No amount of money, for example, can make up for the loss of a loved one or a lifetime of pain and disability caused by another's negligence. However, money is the only remedy the law allows.
This Is Why We Have Insurance
Typically, the person or organization that caused your injury does not pay compensation to you directly. We pursue damages from their insurance companies. This is one of the reasons anyone who drives a vehicle, owns property or runs a business has liability insurance. In the event of a tragedy, the insurance policy will cover any damages.
However, insurance companies will try to deny valid claims for compensation or to pay injury victims as little as they possibly can. That is why it is important to have an experienced lawyer on your side. At the Law Office of Gary Martin Hays & Associates, we are proud to stand up and fight for injury victims and help them obtain the full amount of compensation they deserve.
