Were you injured in an accident? Did a careless driver run a stop sign or a red light? Or were you hurt by a motorist who was distracted at the wheel and participating in texting while driving? Did someone drive drunk or disobey road rules causing your Fayette County auto accident and injuries? There are numerous reasons why motor vehicle accidents occur on Georgia roads every day, but one thing is for certain—negligence causes serious injuries, such as:
- Broken bones
- Broken clavicle
- Shoulder and arm injuries
- Leg, ankle, and feet injuries
- Femur fractures
- Severed limbs
- Knee injuries (ACL, MCL, meniscus tear, etc.)
- Back and neck injuries
- Herniated disc
- Spinal cord injury
- Paralysis
- Disfigurement
- Head trauma
- Traumatic brain injury
While this list is not comprehensive, it is obvious that auto, trucking, and pedestrian accidents can cause serious, life-altering injuries. Even slip and fall accidents caused by a property owner’s negligence can cause painful injuries. When you are injured due to someone else’s negligence, you need to talk with an experienced Fayette County personal injury lawyer to find out about your rights.
People who are injured from someone else’s actions have a right to hold the negligent person liable for the injuries, damages, and losses they suffered. After suffering any of the above-listed injuries, you will incur costs for your medical tests, surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing medical treatment. Additionally, you may lose income for the time you couldn’t work due to your injury. Because another person’s reckless actions caused your injuries, you should not be responsible for all of your accident-related expenses. Instead, you need to turn to a skilled accident attorney in Fayette County for help obtaining a just financial recovery as a way to seek justice for the wrongs you suffered.
