Damages in Atlanta, Marietta, and Roswell, Georgia Personal Injury Cases

The experienced attorneys at Rogers & Goldberg, L.L.C., in Atlanta, Marietta, and Roswell, Georgia, represent hundreds of plaintiffs in personal injury cases and obtain maximum compensation for the clients' substantial injuries.

Compensatory damages may be awarded by courts in civil cases to repay injured parties for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income and earning capacity, and other hardships. In some cases, a judge or jury may also choose to award punitive damages to punish a defendant for the intentional or dangerous conduct that caused injuries to another party. The attorneys in our Atlanta office, also serving Marietta and Roswell, Georgia, handle personal injury cases and can tell you what kinds of damages are typically awarded.

• Compensatory Damages
• Punitive Damages

Compensatory Damages

Compensatory damages are awarded by judges or juries to people who suffer injuries from various types of negligent acts including car accidents, medical malpractice, production of defective products, and animal attacks. This compensation is meant to pay for the expenses the victims incurred as a result of their injuries. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be eligible to receive compensatory damages for the costs of the following:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages, including overtime
• Pain and suffering
• Physical disability
• Disfigurement
• Permanent scars
• Emotional trauma
• Mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment
• Loss of companionship
• Embarrassment
• Mental disability
• Property damage
• Transportation charges

While monetary compensation cannot take away your pain or erase the memory of a painful personal injury, having your medical bills, lost wages, and other costs paid by the party who injured you may help you put the unfortunate incident behind you. Our valued clients in Atlanta, Marietta, and Roswell, Georgia, conclude their personal injury cases with the highest amount of compensatory damages possible.

Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are sometimes awarded by courts to punish a defendant when the defendant's conduct which caused the injury of another person is found to be intentional, willful, wanton, or malicious. The goal of punitive damages is to discourage the type of conduct that the defendant engaged in at the time of the injury. Cases that may warrant punitive damages include those that involve accidents caused by reckless driving, elder abuse, and various types of negligent acts. The possibility of punitive damages is an important reason to hire a skilled lawyer to help with personal injury cases.

The dollar amount of a punitive damage award is difficult for your attorney to predict, since the process of determining it is sometimes arbitrary, depending on the sensibility of the jurors, the amount of the defendant's financial assets, and other factors.
