Personal Injury FAQWhat is personal injury law? In Georgia, personal injury law covers anyone who has been injured or killed by any other person, company or other organization. In addition, situations that could have been prevented that cause injury or death fall under personal injury law in most cases. A landlord who fails to adequately secure the property they own can be held responsible for injury-causing crimes that occur on their property. A mall owner can be held responsible if they do not clean up a spill that causes an injury. An individual property owner can be responsible for a person visiting their home who injures him or her self due to some hazardous condition. Personal injury covers auto or vehicle accidents, faulty products, bad medication, medical malpractice, abuse, slip and fall incidents, dog bites, plane crashes, boating accidents, brain injuries and more. All of these common cases are covered under personal injury law in Georgia. Each incident is different, however. Please contact us to learn more about personal injury law in Georgia. Why do I need a lawyer? In most every case of Georgia personal injury a lawyer can help you protect yourself and your family.
