If you have suffered a personal injury in the state of Georgia, there are very specific steps you must follow in order to make sure that you are treated fairly in a court of law.
If you choose to file a personal injury claim yourself, there are several complex phases in the legal process, and many hurdles you will have to jump in order to make sure you are treated fairly.
If you want to save yourself the trouble of self-representation, it is extremely important to contact a lawyer. But, if you are planning on filing a personal injury claim, you may have several important questions.
I’ve just been injured, what should I do now?
- The first and most important action to take is to seek medical attention immediately!
- Afterwards, keep good records. Write down the details of the occurrence to the best of your ability. Take photographs, and note names, addresses, and phone numbers of those involved.
How do I file a claim?
- Locate the court in the area in which you were injured. This may be county where the incident occurred, or it may be the district in which the defendant resides.
- File a complaint, including the name of the court, the plaintiff’s name, defendant’s name, a place for the case number, and the title of the document.
- Return all forms to the court, and begin to compile evidence and eyewitnesses to appear before a judge. In due time, your case may be heard.
