    Areas of Practice

    Regardless of how you were hurt in Atlanta, Henningsen Injury Attorneys are ready to help. At our law firm, we try our best to make our clients feel heard and comfortable during this difficult time. Unfortunately, people don’t seek out a personal injury attorney unless they must. We always strive to help our clients with compassion, personalized attention, and regular communication.

    Our law firm handles a wide variety of Atlanta personal injury cases, including:

    • Bus Accidents
    • Bicycle Accidents
    • Catastrophic Injuries
    • Construction Accidents
    • Medical Malpractice
    • Motorcycle Accidents
    • Pedestrian Accidents
    • Premises Liability*
    • Product Liability
    • Truck Accidents
    • Workplace Accidents
    • Wrongful Death

    *Premises Liability is sometimes referred to as Slip and Fall Cases.

    When a loved one has died due to another’s negligence or careless behavior, then under Georgia law, the surviving family members have a right to hold the responsible party liable and receive financial compensation. When you file a wrongful death lawsuit, you can sue for your loved one’s suffering before they died, final medical costs, lost income, and loss of companionship. The family members who can recover damages in a wrongful death claim in Atlanta include the following:

    • Spouse
    • Children, either adopted or blood-related
    • Parents
    • Siblings
    • Dependents

    Some common forms of negligence that can lead to a victim’s untimely death can include a motor vehicle collision, battery or assault, or medical malpractice. Our Atlanta law firm has decades of experience helping the family members of victims achieve closure, justice, and fair compensation in wrongful death cases.

    Wrongful death also occurs in the workplace. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 5,333 fatal work injuries reported in the nation in 2019, a 2% increase from 5,250 in 2018. Over 30% of all workplace fatalities involve workers over age 55, and Hispanic or Latino workers made up 20% of all fatal occupational injuries in 2019.

    Premises liability law gives individuals the right to hold property owners responsible for injuries caused by dangerous or defective conditions on public or private property. Your Atlanta personal injury attorney will fight to prove the property owner’s negligence in failing to use reasonable care in maintaining their property.

    Our law firm represents Atlanta clients who have been involved in motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, and other accidents that occur on the road. All drivers owe each other a duty of care to operate their vehicle while alert and focused. The law states that drivers must be sober behind the wheel. However, a tired driver, a drunk driver, or a driver on their cell phone could cause an accident. They may be liable for your damages, including medical bills, due to their negligence.

    If you have been involved in an accident on the road, whether as a pedestrian or a passenger, or driver, you face losses, then give us a call today.

    Fault means that someone is responsible for causing you harm through an act of negligence. Basically, fault can make or break your personal injury case. You should expect that the other party's insurance company and legal team will downplay their client's role in the accident and blame you for being the one responsible.

    According to Georgia code § 51-12-33, each party involved in an accident can be ascribed a percentage of responsibility. If you and your personal injury attorney can prove that the other party is more than 50% responsible for your injuries, you are entitled to receive compensation. On the other hand, if you can't prove the other party was negligent for more than 50%, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of the negligence, or you may receive none at all.

    After you are involved in a personal injury accident, you need to notify the insurance provider of the at-fault party, which will send an adjuster to investigate your case.

    Before making their decision, the adjuster will examine several pieces of evidence, including witness statements, the accident scene, or the police report. While insurance adjusters seem to be vital in a personal injury claim process, you must consider that they are in the business of saving their company money and will try to minimize your compensation as much as possible.

    There are times when an adjuster may try to blame you for the accident. To increase your chances of getting the maximum compensation for your type of case, it is recommended you hire an experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyer.

    The National Center for Health Statistics, a department within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, states that around 31 million people who require medical treatment are injured across the country annually.

    Additionally, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that over three million injuries and 40,000 deaths occur from the 5.5 million car accidents in the U.S. annually, with another 60,000 personal injuries and 5,000 deaths resulting from truck accidents each year. Construction accidents caused another 300,000 personal injuries and 1,000 deaths, and medical mistakes take the lives of up to 98,000 people each year.

    The National Safety Council (NSC) reports that, between 2001 and 2005, Americans suffered 24,100,000 disabling unintentional injuries.

    Whether you slipped and fell in a local store or were hit in a car accident, an experienced personal injury attorney will help you understand the personal injury claim process.

    Some of the most serious personal injuries are:

    Spinal Cord Injuries: This can be caused due to a trauma, such as a car accident. A spinal cord injury may result in paralysis and loss of sensation.

    Neck and back injuries: These types of injuries are some of the most common in car accidents, one of the most prominent being whiplash. Car accident-related back injuries include fractured vertebrae, spinal stenosis, and slipped or herniated disks.

    Head and brain injuries: Head and brain injuries are typically seen in car accidents, assaults, and falls. The most common symptoms of head and brain injuries are headache, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, loss of consciousness, and memory loss.

    Internal injuries: These can include internal bleeding caused by broken ribs, damaged lungs, and spleen or liver damage.

    Bone and muscle injuries: Symptoms of bone injuries include bruising, swelling, and pain or tenderness around the injured area. Symptoms of muscle injuries include muscle spasms, pain, tenderness, redness, and bruising.

    Burn injuries: There are three categories based on their severity: first, second, and third-degree - with the third-degree burns being the most severe. Burns can be caused by fires, scalding water, chemical or electrical burns.

    #1. Medical Treatment

    It may take up to 3 to 6 months in a non-surgical case or 6 to 12 months in a surgical case. After your medical treatment, your personal injury lawyer will calculate all your medical bills.

    #2. Pre-suit settlement negotiations

    The pre-suit settlement negotiations may last 30 to 60 days. Once you have completed your medical treatment, your personal injury attorney will attempt to settle your case. More than 50% of personal injury cases are resolved during the settlement negotiations.

    #3. Lien resolution

    If your personal injury case gets settled early, your lawyer will negotiate all your medical bills and damages to maximize your settlement. Your settlement will be paid to you in no more than ten days after the medical bills are resolved.

    #4. Litigation

    On the other hand, if your case hasn't been settled pre-suit, it will proceed to litigation. During this stage, your personal injury attorneys will have to exchange documents with the insurance defense lawyers. Your lawyers will use the collected evidence, hired experts, and accident witnesses to help you. The litigation process may last 12 to 24 months.

    #5. Mediation

    After the litigation reaches an end, your personal injury case will enter mediation. All parties involved will attempt to resolve the case with the assistance of a neutral third party, known as a mediator. This is the last opportunity to settle your case before trial.

    #6. Trial

    If your personal injury case hasn't been settled at a mediation, it will continue to trial. In this instance, your personal injury attorneys will need to demonstrate why the defendant is responsible for the injury you have suffered. Additionally, they have to explain to the jury how they calculated the monetary value of your injuries and damages. If the jury decides that you should be awarded compensation, you will receive it 90 or 120 days after the final verdict.

    US Government statistics show that about 5% of personal injury cases go to trial. The other 95% are settled pretrial. For cases that go to trial and wi

    After an injury, facing an insurance company alone can be difficult and frustrating. These companies are in the business of profit, meaning they will do whatever they can to avoid or minimize payments to policyholders. Too often, people who are injured do not get the full and fair settlement that they deserve because they did not hire a competent and aggressive lawyer. Our attorneys can be your advocate in negotiations with insurance companies, and we can fight to protect your best interests.

    When you work with our firm, we can fight for compensation in the form of:

    Present and future medical bills

    Property damage

    Pain and suffering

    Present and future lost wages

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Get Answers From Skilled Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers

    In the state of Georgia, the statute of limitations for civil cases (car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, product liability, wrongful death, or other personal injury claims) is two years from the date of the injury or death. You must file a claim with the court by the statute of limitations deadline, or your personal injury case will be invalid.

    There are two main types of personal injury compensation: punitive damages and compensatory damages. Compensatory damages are available in almost all personal injury cases and reimburse you for the costs associated with your injury. Punitive damages punish the party responsible for causing you harm and are awarded by the court if the at-fault party’s actions were especially reckless or negligent.

    Examples of compensatory damages include:

    • medical expenses
    • lost wages
    • loss of earning capacity
    • pain and suffering
    • loss of enjoyment of life
    • loss of consortium
    • lowered quality of life
    • physical disfigurement and impairment

    Personal injury attorneys accept cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you will have access to legal services regardless of your financial status.

    Once you enter a contingency fee agreement, you will agree to pay your personal injury lawyer a percentage of the amount recovered in your case. If the attorney can't obtain any compensation for your personal injury claim, you will not owe the attorney any money, but you may owe them the costs of your case.

    However, it is essential to know that most lawyers handle personal injury cases for about 33 1/3% to 40% of the recovery.

    If you or a loved one has been injured or suffered fatal injuries in a wrongful death accident due to another party’s negligence, call us as soon as possible. We will freely evaluate your case and help you understand the legal process.

    It is critical to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after you have been injured or harmed in an accident. All insurance companies have teams of lawyers and adjusters who will begin to evaluate your claim immediately.

    The decision to get legal representation should be made as quickly as possible following the injury. By contacting our law firm, we will help you maximize your claim and build a strong case.

    Covering medical expenses and other losses after an accident are our primary concerns when representing our clients. With our top-rated personal injury lawyers on your side, you can focus on your recovery with the assurance that you have a dedicated legal team advocating for your rights.

    If you have been involved in a personal injury accident, you may be eligible to recover economic damages and non-economic damages from an Atlanta personal injury claim.

    Economic damages are related to the financial aspect of your claim, including medical expenses (hospital bills, doctor visits, medication), loss of wages (past and future), or property damage.

    Non-economic damages involve the pain and suffering you have experienced after being involved in the accident. The most common types of non-economic damages include psychological and emotional effects, physical suffering, trauma, and quality-of-life issues.

    There are some crucial steps you need to take after being involved in a personal injury accident. Firstly, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Go to the emergency room, or call for an ambulance at the accident scene. Any delay in taking medical care may have repercussions on your health and personal injury case.

    Avoid speaking about your case with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Insurance companies might refuse to pay your settlement or pay way less than you deserve.

    It is also essential that both you and your personal injury attorney gather as much evidence and documentation as soon as possible. After all, you must prove that you were injured due to someone else’s negligence. Try to collect records and documents of everything relating to your case, including medical records, police reports, photographs, witness contact information, and the like.

    Pay attention to the statute of limitations of where you live. In the state of Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years.

    After you have received medical attention, you should immediately seek the legal help of an experienced personal injury attorney who will fight for your best interests.
