What Types of Personal Injury Claims Do We Handle at González Torres Law?

What Damages Can I Recover In a Personal Injury Case In Duluth?
Injuries have costly consequences, as well as causing pain and suffering. These are the “damages” in a personal injury claim. Common damages recovered in Georgia personal injury cases include the following:
- Reimbursement for medical expenses
- Future medical costs for injury-related treatment
- Lost earnings
- Future income loss or lowered future earning capacity
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Compensation for any additional non-economic damages that apply, like disfigurement, scarring, loss of limb, loss of vision, hearing loss, PTSD, emotional trauma, or loss of enjoyment of life
When an injury impacts all aspects of life, it’s disheartening and overwhelming. Receiving financial compensation provides a sense of justice and opens the door to the best medical care.
