DUI Accidents

If you’ve been involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver, Jarrett & Price can help. We have experience representing clients in DUI accident cases and understand the complexities involved. We’ll investigate the circumstances of the accident, gather evidence, and work with the authorities to hold the drunk driver accountable for their actions. We’ll also fight to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.

In DUI accidents in Georgia, punitive damages may be awarded in addition to compensatory damages. Punitive damages are intended to punish the at-fault party for their reckless behavior and to deter them and others from similar actions in the future. To be awarded punitive damages, it must be proven that the at-fault party acted with “conscious indifference to consequences” or “wanton and willful disregard for the safety of others.” In DUI accidents, this typically means that the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and knew or should have known that their actions could result in harm to others. The amount of punitive damages that can be awarded in Georgia is capped at $250,000, or three times the amount of compensatory damages awarded, whichever is greater. However, in cases involving drunk driving, the cap may be lifted if the at-fault party had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 or higher, or if they were a repeat offender.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries, and at Jarrett & Price, we understand the unique challenges that riders face. We have experience representing clients in motorcycle accident cases and will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Our team will investigate the accident, gather evidence, and work with medical professionals to determine the extent of your injuries. We’ll also negotiate with insurance companies and other parties on your behalf to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your losses.

Proving motorcycle accident claims can be challenging due to several factors. First, motorcycles are often more difficult to see on the road than other vehicles, which can make it harder to establish fault in an accident. Second, biases against motorcyclists can make it more difficult to convince a jury that the motorcyclist was not at fault. In addition, motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries that can be more difficult to prove than visible physical injuries. This can make it harder to establish the full extent of damages suffered by the victim. To overcome these challenges, it’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side who understands the unique issues involved in motorcycle accident claims.

Trucking Accidents

At Jarrett & Price, we have experience representing clients in trucking accident cases and can help you navigate the complex legal issues involved. Trucking accident claims are unique due to several factors. First, the size and weight of commercial trucks mean that accidents involving these vehicles can be particularly devastating, often resulting in serious injuries or even death. Second, trucking companies are often subject to federal regulations that are not applicable to other types of vehicles. These regulations govern areas such as driver qualifications, hours of service, and vehicle maintenance, and violations of these regulations can contribute to accidents.

Finally, trucking accidents can involve multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of the truck or its parts, and other drivers on the road. This can make it more difficult to establish liability and can complicate the legal process.

To navigate these complex issues, it’s important to have an attorney on your side who has experience representing clients in trucking accident claims. At Jarrett & Price, our attorneys can help gather evidence, work with industry experts to determine the cause of the accident, and negotiate with insurance companies and other parties on your behalf to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Wrongful Death Claims

If you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, Jarrett & Price can help you pursue a wrongful death claim. In Georgia, wrongful death claims are intended to compensate the surviving family members of a deceased individual for their losses, including financial and emotional damages. To calculate the amount of damages in a wrongful death claim, several factors are taken into account. First, the economic damages are calculated, including any medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and lost wages or future earning capacity of the deceased. Second, the non-economic damages are calculated, which can include pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and emotional distress suffered by the surviving family members. Finally, the level of fault of the at-fault party is taken into account. In Georgia, if the deceased was partially at fault for the accident, the damages awarded will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to the deceased. The damages awarded in a wrongful death claim can vary widely depending on the circumstances of the case. It’s important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can help you understand your rights and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
