Auto Accident, Workers\u2019 Comp and Slip and Fall Personal Injury Attorneys in Columbus, GA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everyone in Georgia \u2013 and the entire United States \u2013 has a basic duty to uphold to one another. This duty is to act responsibly to avoid injuring one another. For example, if someone is speeding or runs a red light they are violating this duty. If their reckless actions result in the injury of another person, they can be held financially liable for the consequences of their actions and failure to avoid injuring people by refraining from reckless or illegal activity.<\/p>\n

The concept is legally known as tort law. To put it simply, tort law, which is a civil matter, not a criminal matter, holds that if one person\u2019s causes another person to suffer harm, or a \u201ctortious act,\u201d they are legally liable for the damages.<\/p>\n

If you were injured due to someone else\u2019s careless or reckless actions, you may have a civil tort law case which means you can sue them \u2013 or more realistically sue their insurance company<\/a> \u2013 to recover damages.<\/p>\n

The reason insurance companies are part of the equation is because these types of damages are covered by insurance. For example, drivers in Georgia are required to carry a minimum of $25,000 liability coverage. This means if you were injured by another driver<\/a> that driver\u2019s insurance company is obligated to compensate you for up to $25,000 of the medical costs that arise from your injury.<\/p>\n

The other driver\u2019s insurance company doesn\u2019t want to pay out that $25,000, and they will go to great lengths to prevent losing that money. The insurance company may try to claim the accident was partially or fully your fault, or they may try to offer you a lesser amount to settle the case before you truly realize the extent and costs of your injuries.<\/p>\n

In some situations, your medical costs may exceed the minimum liability coverage of the other driver, so what do you do then?<\/p>\n

These are complex issues and questions. Even at your best, dealing with these issues can be overwhelming and confusing. After suffering a severe injury, most people aren\u2019t at their best, making the situation even harder to cope with.
