Motor vehicle collisions are an everyday occurrence and claim many lives. Those who don’t die sustain severe injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, internal bleeding, etc. These injuries often require extensive treatment before the victim gets better.
As a result, the victim accumulates significant medical bills that they may not pay due to the suddenness of the accident. However, Georgia law allows accident victims to file a compensation claim against the fault party. A successful claim means compensation for the injuries and property losses. It covers medical expenses and the cost of medical equipment, vehicle repair, physical pain, suffering, emotional anguish, etc.
