Gilormo Injury Law: Personal Injury Lawyers Helping the Injured in Cumming

Accidents happen every day – many where people escape unharmed, but sometimes people are seriously injured. If you’ve been injured in an accident, you need to consider your future. How will you pay your medical bills? Will you be able to work? How will you take care of your family? An experienced Cumming personal injury lawyer at our firm can help you get the answers to these questions, and more importantly, get you the compensation you need to put your life back together. We assist with car accidents, child injuries, wrongful death claims and more. 

Helping Our Clients Recover From Injuries

Injuries can be caused by various activities. If you or a loved one has been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, Amber Gilormo can guide you through each step of your personal injury claim, from understanding your legal options to collecting the relevant information to building your case to achieve a beneficial resolution and financial recovery. Amber is well-versed in many personal injury categories, including:

  • Child injuries – Evaluating child injuries requires thoughtful analysis of the injuries and losses, as well as consideration of the place of the accident (especially if they occur at a daycare, school, or playground).
  • Car accidents – Car accidents often raise emotions and result in conflict with insurance companies. Let Amber handle the insurance company for you.
  • Truck accidents – Truck accidents can result in serious injuries due to the magnitude of commercial trucks. These cases are further complicated by multiple party liability issues, which your injury lawyer can handle for you. 
  • Serious injuries – If an accident results in catastrophic injuries, you will certainly want a Cumming personal injury lawyer on your side.
  • Wrongful death – Losing a loved one to someone else’s carelessness is a tragedy you should not have to handle without the compassionate support of a wrongful death lawyer.

Each of these categories comes with a particular set of criteria used to evaluate the law and damages surrounding them. Amber not only knows the nuances of law necessary to win your case, but she understands that every case and client is unique. As such, she runs her law firm with compassion, respect, and empathy for all clients.

With years of experience, we’ve helped injured people get the compensation they need to make a full recovery. We’ve helped people who have suffered the following types of injuries as a result of almost any type of accident, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and medical malpractice: 

A Cumming personal injury attorney can also help people who have experienced psychological and emotional trauma as a result of their injuries such as severe depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

When Should I Contact a Cumming Personal Injury Lawyer?

First, you should understand that Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury claims, which means you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of your accident or you will be barred from pursuing compensation. Two years may seem like a long time, but the longer you wait, the more difficult it may be to prove your case. You should contact a Cumming personal injury attorney as soon as possible in the following situations: 

  • You or your child have been seriously injured in a major accident. Many people unfortunately settle their claims too soon and wind up with expenses and other losses that aren’t covered by their settlement. You may be facing losses that you haven’t anticipated.
  • Your injury will require extensive medical treatment. The more treatment you need, the more likely you will need legal representation. You are likely facing extensive medical bills and you may need to take an extended leave of absence from work. Furthermore, your injury will likely experience significant pain and suffering. 
  • You have experienced unexpected complications from your medical treatment. Medical malpractice occurs more often than you think. Doctors and hospitals are expected to provide treatment according to a specific standard of care. If you suspect that something has gone wrong, you should discuss your case with an experienced Cumming injury attorney. 
  • You have been injured on someone else’s property. Property owners have a legal obligation to ensure that their property is safe for guests and visitors. You may be entitled to compensation if you have been injured because a property owner negligently maintained their property or failed to warn you of specific hazards. 

A Cumming injury lawyer can handle your claim from start to finish so that you can focus on getting better. They can handle the communications with the insurance company and any other parties involved. They can collect the evidence you need to prove your claims such as your bills, medical reports, accident reports, and witness statements. Finally, they can provide you with critical advice concerning your legal rights and what your claim is worth. 

What You Need to Know About Personal Injury Lawsuits

While most personal injury claims are settled out of court, sometimes you need to file a lawsuit and proceed to trial. Understandably, most non-lawyers are intimidated by the prospect of going to court. However, an experienced Cumming personal injury attorney can help you navigate the process so that you can get the compensation you deserve. 

The first step is to determine where you should file suit. While you can’t simply pick whichever courthouse you like best, there may be some flexibility in your case. Your attorney will take the following factors into consideration: 

  • Where the accident occurred
  • Where you live
  • Where the other parties live or do business
  • Where your case may be heard more quickly

The next phase of your lawsuit is what is referred to as the discovery phase. The discovery phase is critical to your case. Your attorney can use a variety of tools to gather evidence that is necessary to your case, which can include filing subpoenas for documents and requiring other parties to testify under oath in a deposition. The discovery phase is where your lawyer will not only compile the evidence that you need but also learn about what defenses the other side may raise so that you can be fully prepared. 

Once discovery has been completed, your case will then proceed to trial. During trial you will be required to testify in front of the jury and your attorney will submit evidence to prove your case. An experienced Cumming personal injury attorney will know how to make your case to the jury so that you can be awarded a judgment in your favor. 

Breaking Down Potential Damages for an Injury Claim

“Damages” is the legal term for the losses you have suffered as a result of your accident. Generally speaking, you may be entitled to compensation for three types of damages: 

  1. Compensatory damages: these are your economic damages and include things such as your medical bills, your lost wages, and any other expenses incurred as a result of your accident.
  2. Non-economic damages: this includes your pain and suffering. Under the law, you are entitled to be made whole. As a result, you may be entitled to compensation for mental and physical anguish that you have experienced, as you are unable to enjoy life as you did before your accident.
  3. Punitive damages: these are damages awarded by the court in order to punish the at-fault party. Their purpose is to dissuade other people from engaging in the same behavior. However, punitive damages are rarely awarded except in truly egregious cases and must meet a higher evidentiary standard.

An experienced Cumming personal injury lawyer can provide a firm estimate of what your case may be worth. If the insurance company has already offered to settle your claim, you should speak with an attorney before accepting the offer to make sure you are being fairly compensated. 

Economic Losses in Georgia Lawsuits

Generally speaking, economic losses are those losses that represent a specific dollar amount. They are easily identified because they can be clearly documented. Economic losses in a personal injury typically consist of the following:

  • Unpaid medical bills
  • Lost wages or other income
  • Damage to personal property such as your car
  • Increased transportation costs because you cannot drive
  • Modifications to your home to address mobility issues

This is not an exhaustive list. One of the advantages of working with our firm is that they can help you compile and document all of your losses suffered as a result of your accident.

Our Cumming Personal Injury Attorneys Fight for Your Non-Economic Losses

If you’ve been injured through someone else’s fault, you are not limited to seeking compensation only for your economic losses. You are also entitled to seek compensation for your pain and suffering – the mental anguish and physical discomfort you experience as a result of your injury. Although pain and suffering are subjective in nature, any accident victim will tell you that they are very real. Georgia law expressly recognizes your right to pursue compensation for your pain and suffering.

Unfortunately, it can be quite difficult to assign value to your pain and suffering. Thankfully, Georgia does not establish a cap on damages for pain and suffering, allowing victims and their attorneys to seek as much as needed to recover and offer justice At the same time, there is no established formula to provide guidance. Some of the factors that can be used to assign a value to your claim are as follows:

  • The impact your injuries have on your day-to-day life
  • The severity of your injuries
  • Whether your injuries resulted in a permanent disability
  • Whether you will no longer be able to work in your chosen profession
  • The pain and discomfort normally associated with the injuries you have suffered

The experienced Cumming personal injury attorneys at Gilormo Injury Law can help you determine the value of your pain and suffering and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Our Cumming Injury Lawyer Works With Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To

Often in a personal injury matter, there will be multiple parties involved, including insurance companies. Each insurance company and policy has different requirements and definitions to determine what is covered and what costs can be denied.

Our team comes with a wealth of experience negotiating settlements with insurance companies for our clients and we rigorously represent clients at trial. Gilormo Injury Law has a reputation for caring for clients compassionately while achieving favorable results for them.

If a favorable resolution can be achieved for our client without having court hearings or a trial, that is great news for our client, and we are happy they receive the compensation they deserve without a lengthy court proceeding. 

However, rest assured that an Cumming personal injury lawyer at Gilormo Injury Law is ready and willing to take a case to court when necessary. The court process can be daunting for clients, so we strive to explain each step for their peace of mind. Though waiting on the court can be frustrating, We will be there to guide you through the court proceedings with care and understanding.

Personal Injury FAQs

What should I do if the insurance company calls me to discuss my claim?

You should not discuss your claim with the insurance company. They are looking out for themselves and their client and want to reduce the amount of money they will need to pay. If the insurance company contacts you, you should direct them to speak to your Cumming personal injury lawyer.

What if I am partially at fault for my injury?

Accidents and injuries can be complex matters and multiple people may be at fault for injuries in a single event. In Georgia, being at fault will not prevent you from recovering from your injury as long as you are under the appropriate threshold. From working out the facts and details of your accident to evaluating fault appropriately among parties, your lawyer is prepared to handle every aspect of your claim for you.

Who do I bring a claim against if I am injured from a fall?

If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, your Cumming injury lawyer can make sure the appropriate parties are held responsible for your injury. This may include property owners, management companies, or maintenance contractors who failed to make the premises safe for you. This can get tricky as everyone wants to escape liability, but Amber Gilormo will hold them accountable.

Finances have been tight since I had my accident. How much do I need to pay my lawyer?

Gilormo Injury Law will not charge you for your consultation. Once you hire us to take on your case, we will explain how our fees and expenses will be paid. We do not charge attorney fees to our clients unless we recover for you.

How do I know how much to ask for in a personal injury claim?

Your injury attorney will evaluate your economic and non-economic damages based on the facts of your case, your medical prognosis, and other unique factors. Amber will thoroughly analyze your case so that you can be appropriately compensated.
