DUI Accidents
If you have been involved in an accident with a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you may be able to pursue compensation for your injuries.
In Georgia, if you have been involved in a DUI accident, you also may be entitled to recover punitive damages. These are meant to punish the at-fault party for their reckless or intentional behavior and deter others from engaging in similar behavior. In order to recover punitive damages in a DUI accident case, you must show that the at-fault driver acted with willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, oppression, or conscious indifference to consequences. This means that it is not enough to show that the driver was simply negligent or careless; you must show that their behavior was particularly egregious.
Jarrett & Price has experience handling DUI accident cases and can help you determine whether you are entitled to recover punitive damages. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be particularly devastating, resulting in serious injuries or even death. Our attorneys have experience representing clients who have been injured in motorcycle accidents and can help you get the compensation you need to recover. Proving a motorcycle accident claim can be challenging, as there are several factors that can complicate the process. One of the biggest challenges is overcoming bias against motorcyclists. Many people have negative stereotypes about motorcyclists and may assume that the rider was at fault for the accident.
In addition, motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities, which can make it difficult to gather evidence and determine what exactly happened. It is important to work with an experienced attorney who can help you investigate the accident and gather the evidence needed to support your claim. Another challenge in motorcycle accident claims is determining fault. In many cases, multiple parties may share fault for the accident, including the rider, the other driver, and even third parties such as the manufacturer of a defective part. It is important to identify all potential sources of liability in order to maximize your chances of recovering compensation.
Trucking Accidents
Trucking accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including driver fatigue, equipment failure, and reckless driving. If you have been injured in a trucking accident, Jarrett & Price can help you get the compensation you deserve. Our Norcross personal injury attorneys handle trucking accidents on a regular basis.
Trucking accident claims are unique because of the complex nature of the trucking industry and the regulations that govern it. Unlike car accidents, which typically involve two parties, trucking accidents can involve multiple parties. These can include the driver, the trucking company, the owner of the cargo, and the manufacturer. In addition, trucking companies often have teams of lawyers and investigators working to minimize their liability. That is why it is important to work with an experienced attorney who can navigate the legal process and fight for your rights.
Another factor that makes trucking accident claims unique is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations that govern the trucking industry. These regulations set strict standards for driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, and hours of service, among other things. Violations of these regulations can be used as evidence of negligence or recklessness in a trucking accident case.
Wrongful Death Claims
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, you may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim.
Wrongful death claims in Georgia are intended to compensate the surviving family members of someone who died as a result of someone else’s negligence or intentional actions. Georgia courts calculate these damages based on financial and non-economic losses suffered by surviving family members. These may include:
- Medical and funeral expenses:
- Lost income and benefits:
- Pain and suffering:
- Loss of companionship and support:
The damages in a wrongful death claim can vary widely depending on the specific circumstances of the case. At Jarrett & Price our injury attorneys have decades of collective experience handling these cases and can assist you and your family to recover the compensation you deserve.
