DUI Accidents

If you’ve been involved in a car accident with a driver who was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys at Jarrett & Price have experience handling DUI accident cases and can help you pursue the compensation you deserve. We’ll work tirelessly to hold the negligent party accountable and secure the maximum compensation possible.

In Georgia, punitive damages may be awarded in DUI accident cases. Punitive damages are intended to punish the at-fault party for their reckless or malicious conduct, rather than compensate the victim for their injuries. To be eligible for punitive damages in a DUI accident case, the victim must prove that the at-fault driver acted with a reckless disregard for the safety of others.

In Georgia, there is a cap on punitive damages in most cases, set at $250,000. However, in cases where the at-fault party was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, there is no cap on punitive damages. This means that victims of DUI accidents may be eligible for significantly higher damages than in other types of personal injury cases.

If you’ve been injured in a DUI accident, it’s important to work with an experienced personal injury attorney who understands the nuances of DUI accident cases. At Jarrett & Price, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to help you pursue the maximum compensation possible, including punitive damages where appropriate.

Motorcycle Accidents

Proving liability in a motorcycle accident case can be challenging. Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than other vehicles on the road, which means that other drivers may not see them until it’s too late. Additionally, motorcycles are more maneuverable than other vehicles, which can make it difficult to determine who was at fault in an accident.

In some cases, motorcycle accidents are caused by road hazards or defective motorcycle parts, rather than driver error. Proving liability in these cases can be even more challenging, as it may be necessary to prove negligence on the part of a government agency or manufacturer.

At Jarrett & Price, we understand the unique challenges that come with motorcycle accident cases. Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge necessary to investigate the cause of the accident, gather evidence, and build a strong case on your behalf. We’ll fight tirelessly to help you recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries and other damages.

Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents can be some of the most complex and challenging personal injury cases. The team at Jarrett & Price has experience handling trucking accident cases and knows how to navigate the complex regulations and laws that govern the trucking industry. We’ll work tirelessly to gather evidence, build a strong case, and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Trucking accident claims are unique for several reasons. First, the injuries in trucking accidents tend to be more severe than in other types of motor vehicle accidents, due to the size and weight of commercial trucks. As a result, the damages sought in trucking accident cases are often higher than in other types of personal injury cases.

Second, trucking accidents are subject to a variety of state and federal regulations that don’t apply to other types of motor vehicle accidents. These regulations govern everything from driver qualifications and hours of service to vehicle maintenance and cargo securement. Violations of these regulations can be used as evidence of negligence in a trucking accident case.

Finally, trucking accident cases can involve multiple parties, including the driver, the trucking company, the manufacturer of the truck or its parts, and even government agencies responsible for maintaining the roads. Sorting out the responsibilities of each party and proving liability can be a complex process.

Boating Accidents

Boating accidents can be just as traumatic as car accidents. Boating accident claims are unique for several reasons.

First, unlike motor vehicle accidents, boating accidents often occur on open water, which can complicate the investigation process. It may be difficult to determine the cause of the accident, especially if there were no witnesses. Second, boating accidents can involve a variety of watercraft, including boats, jet skis, and other personal watercraft. The laws and regulations governing these different types of watercraft may vary, which can make it more challenging to determine liability.

Finally, boating accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including operator error, equipment failure, and hazardous water conditions. It may be necessary to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the accident and identify all responsible parties.

At Jarrett & Price, we understand the unique challenges that come with boating accident cases and can help you navigate the legal system and pursue 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.
