How Do I Know If I Have a Case?
Determining if you have a valid claim will vary depending on the circumstances of your case. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney will assess the strength of your case and, if you have grounds to move forward, guide you through the legal process.
In most personal injury cases, you must prove the other party was negligent. Therefore, you will typically need to establish the following four elements:
- Duty: You must prove the other party owed you a duty of care.
- Breach: You must show that the other party breached that duty.
- Injury: You need to establish that the breach caused an injury.
- Damages: You must establish that you suffered losses because of your injury.
To establish these elements, your Macon personal injury attorney will investigate your accident and collect evidence to build your case. Such evidence will include medical records, photographs, witness statements, accident reports, and other relevant documentation.
What To Expect During the Lawsuit Process
If your attorney determines you have a case and you decide to move forward with a lawsuit, the process typically follows these steps:
- Your attorney will file a formal complaint to start the lawsuit.
- The defending party formally responds to the complaint.
- A pre-trial conference is held, and a judge schedules deadlines.
- You share evidence in the discovery phase.
- Motions are made before the trial begins.
- Pre-trial orders are determined, and the trial proceeds.
Data shows that about 95 percent of pending lawsuits end in a pre-trial settlement, meaning there is a relatively small chance that your case will go to trial. However, the skilled team at Farah & Farah prepares every case like it is going to trial. You can rest assured that we are working hard for your best interests.
What Types of Damages Can You Recover?
The types of damages you may receive depend on the specifics of your case. Common damages in personal injury cases include:
- Economic damages: These are quantifiable damages for specific monetary losses, such as medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and lost earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages: These damages are more subjective and harder to quantify, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of support and a relationship, or any other intangible loss.
- Punitive damages: These are meant to punish the defendant and deter future misconduct. They are typically awarded in cases involving clear and convincing evidence of particularly egregious negligence or intentional misconduct. In Georgia, punitive damages in most personal injury cases are limited to $250,000.
Factors such as the severity of your injuries can influence the amount awarded. A personal injury attorney can help you understand what damages you are entitled to under your circumstances. They will advocate for your rights and negotiate settlements on your behalf.
Compensation We Have Recovered for Our Clients
Throughout our years of experience and hard work, we have achieved many victories for our clients. These are just a few of our successful personal injury case results:
- $5 million for the family of a motorcyclist killed when the defendant ran a stoplight
- $2.5 million for a client who suffered serious neck injuries in a car accident
- $1.3 million in a workers’ compensation case for a worker injured on the job.
- $1.2 million for a master electrician who suffered spinal cord damage after being rear-ended
- $950,000 in a wrongful death case in which a careless driver ran a couple off the road, killing the husband
- $317,000 in a trial against trucking company JEA after one of its trucks rear-ended our client, resulting in a herniated disc
“The clients are the heartbeat of our firm. Without the clients where would we be? You gotta be able to understand where they are coming from as a client. To me that’s the only way you can be a successful lawyer.”
How Long Do Personal Injury Cases Take To Settle?
On average, settlements made directly with your insurance company can take less than a year to complete.
However, accepting a settlement offer from your insurance company is an important decision. You want to ensure you accept an offer based on a thorough understanding of your case, the extent of the damages you are owed, future medical costs related to your injury, and whether there are any questions or concerns around liability. If you are unsure if an insurance company’s offer is fair, it’s best to seek guidance from an experienced personal injury attorney.
Our skilled team settles most cases within several months. However, complex cases may take longer.
What Is the Personal Injury Statute of Limitations in Georgia?
The Georgia statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally two years, meaning you have two years from your accident to file your lawsuit. If you are filing a workers’ compensation claim, you must file within one year of your accident.
It’s essential to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to file your personal injury case within the appropriate time frame. We have over 40 years of experience and can correctly determine how the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Georgia applies to your lawsuit.

Truck Accidents
Big truck accident claims are more complex than car accident claims because wealthy trucking companies and other corporations often share liability for these accidents. We’re not intimidated by big trucking companies. If a careless trucker has injured you, our Macon truck accident lawyers fight for the compensation you are owed.
Motorcycle Accidents
When they are injured in accidents, motorcyclists often face unfair bias from law enforcement, insurance companies, and others. You can count on our dedicated Georgia motorcycle accident lawyers in Macon to stand by you as your biggest advocates when you suffer an injury in a motorcycle accident.

Our slip and fall accident lawyers in Macon can investigate the incident, gather evidence against the owner, and recover the compensation you deserve.
Workers’ Compensation
If you are injured at work, workers’ compensation is supposed to provide a fast, hassle-free means of receiving wage replacement benefits and medical care. Too often, employers make the process difficult. Our Macon, GA, workers’ compensation lawyers can ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.

Our experienced attorneys will fight to protect your rights and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries. If you’ve been injured on the job due to a workplace violation, we’re here to offer caring representation and support.

Wrongful Death

Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability Insurance is a crucial safety net for individuals who are unable to work due to medical conditions.

However, the process is often confusing, and errors can lead to claim denials.
