What Is a "Catastrophic Injury?"

Catastrophic injuries are those that leave permanent damage or cause a significant decline in an individual's quality of life. If you or a loved one has endured catastrophic injuries, we can provide a confidential consultation to discuss your options and advise you on how best to proceed.

The following are all considered to be catastrophic injuries:

Often, victims of catastrophic injuries have done so in car accidents, sports-related accidents, work-related accidents, slip and falls, or as a result of another individual's negligence or neglect.

Common Causes of Catastrophic Injuries in Georgia

Data shows that the leading causes of catastrophic injuries in Georgia include traffic accidents, workplace incidents, and defective products. Understanding these sources is crucial in building a robust case. Traffic-related injuries, in particular, are common due to the heavy automobile presence on Atlanta's highways and interstates. As a client-centered firm, we meticulously analyze accident reports and gather evidence to pinpoint liability, whether it involves another driver, a company, or a product manufacturer.

Moreover, workplaces in Atlanta are subject to both state safety regulations and federal OSHA standards. When these guidelines are breached, the chance of accidents increases significantly. Our approach involves thorough investigations and collaboration with industry experts to build substantial cases for our clients.

Legal Rights & Options for Victims

Victims of catastrophic injuries in Atlanta have several legal avenues to pursue compensation. It’s crucial to know that Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning a victim can still recover damages provided they are less than 50% at fault for the incident. This can significantly influence the strategy used in pursuing claims, making our role vital in demonstrating the extent of our clients' injuries and the culpability of other parties.

At Kaleita Law Firm, LLC, we believe in empowering our clients with this knowledge so they can make informed decisions throughout the legal process. Utilizing our extensive experience, we guide our clients through filing claims, negotiating settlements, and, if necessary, proceeding to trial to secure fair compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Steps Should I Take Immediately After a Catastrophic Injury?

In the aftermath of a catastrophic injury, your priority should be immediate medical attention. Documentation of your injuries through medical reports is crucial for any future legal action. It's also essential to report the incident to local authorities to ensure an official record is established. Preserving evidence from the scene, whether through photographs or witness statements, is another critical step. Contacting Kaleita Law Firm, LLC promptly ensures that you receive tailored legal advice specific to Georgia statutes and helps protect your rights from the outset.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, nuances in the law can affect this timeframe, such as if a government entity is involved. Early consultation with our team can simplify understanding these deadlines, ensuring you don’t miss critical filing windows, potentially barring you from pursuing your claim.

Can I Pursue Compensation if I Am Partially at Fault?

Yes, under Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule, you can seek damages if you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. The compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, which underscores the importance of robust representation. Our attorneys meticulously build your case to highlight the negligence of opposing parties while mitigating your liability, thus maximizing potential recoveries.

What Types of Damages Can I Claim?

Victims of catastrophic injuries may be entitled to various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Additionally, if the injury results in long-term disability or requires ongoing care, future medical costs and diminished earning capacity can also be claimed. Working with Kaleita Law Firm, LLC, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of potential damages specific to your situation, enhancing strategic claim settlement or trial preparations.

How Can Kaleita Law Firm, LLC Help Me with Insurance Companies?

    "The most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome."
    I was injured in the apocalypse snow storm of Atlanta in 2014, I never intended or thought I would need an attorney to assist me with all the ongoing paperwork, needed to get me through this long and draining process. In the process I was not only drained of going to therapy 5 days a week 3 hours a day, groggy from pain pills, and really no in my right mind to make good decisions, I wanted this over and done with, but when I felt being pushed into the wrong direction by insurance company, I had no choice but to start my search I logged in on a Saturday and begin emailing attorneys to see if anyone could help me. On a Sunday Mr. Kaleita called we discussed the case not even being a client yet it was an immediate trust and connection, he understood my frustration and since that day I felt he has been a guardian angel to help me in every step of the way. Even when I thought we were completed, he was such a thorough person, he not only checked once but twice and always found something overall I feel he has become my greatest attorney yet, as well as a mutual friend..the most humble person I have met in this profession and cares about the overall outcome. I would recommend him to anyone. No matter what matter you may have he has a resource in the legal field to help you get your answers. Very knowledgeable in his field
