What are the main types of personal injury cases?

Personal injury cases can include car accidents, truck accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, defective products, dog bites, and wrongful death.

Do I have to pay for representation upfront?

At Council & Associates, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront costs, and we only get paid if we win your case.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Georgia is two years from the date of injury Missing this deadline may result in losing your right to pursue compensation.

What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

You can claim various types of damages in a personal injury case, including economic damages (medical bills, lost wages), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress), and, in some cases, punitive damages for particularly reckless behavior.

Will my personal injury case go to court?

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements without going to court. However, your case may go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. The experienced personal injury lawyers at Council & Associates will advise you on the best strategy based on the specifics of your case.

Can I file a claim if I was injured while jaywalking?

Yes, you can still file a claim if you were injured while jaywalking. While jaywalking may contribute to the accident, drivers are obligated to watch for pedestrians and avoid collisions when possible. We can help assess how your actions might affect your case and work toward obtaining the compensation you deserve.
