Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case
Personal injury claims are usually brought under a theory of negligence. In other words, the injured party must prove that the defendant’s careless actions caused the accident.
To succeed in a negligence claim, the plaintiff must prove that:
- The defendant owed a duty of care
- The defendant breached that duty of care
- The defendant’s actions caused the plaintiff’s injury
- The injured party incurred actual damages
Each person has a general duty of care. The circumstances of each accident are different, however, and the duty owed to the injured party will vary. Because of this complex network of requirements, hiring a skilled legal advocate who knows their way around negligence law is critical. Our team of personal injury attorneys at Holston & Huntley can help you obtain maximum compensation.

Helping You Recover from an Atlanta Trucking Accident
Truck drivers owe a higher level of duty to other people on the road. They must exercise reasonable care while operating their vehicle, and they breach their duty of care when they engage in careless behaviors.
- Falling asleep behind the wheel
- Violating traffic laws
- Failing to properly load cargo
- Executing dangerously wide turns
- Neglecting to apply the brakes in time to stop heavy big rigs
To win a truck accident claim, the injured party must prove:
- The accident would not have occurred but for the defendant’s careless behavior
- The defendant’s actions were the proximate cause of the accident, meaning that it was a foreseeable result of the careless conduct
- A certain amount of damages resulted from the defendant’s negligence

How Much Time Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia?
Knowing how long you have to file your personal injury case is critical in getting the compensation you deserve. In Georgia, the statue of limitations is two years from the injury date. However, there are a few rare exceptions that may allow you to file after this time has passed. Exceptions may include the injury occurring while you are a minor, not having the mental capacity to file the claim, or not realizing that an injury or medical problem occurred until a later date.
