After an accident, most people think about medical bills first — and for good reason. Hospital visits, follow-ups, and medication can add up quickly. But in Georgia, your personal injury compensation doesn’t stop there.
At Benavidez Law Firm, we make sure you understand everything you’re entitled to. If someone else caused your injury, you may be able to recover for a lot more than just your out-of-pocket medical expenses. Let’s break it down.
Medical Costs (Past and Future)
These are the most obvious and include things like ER visits, surgery, therapy, medications, and any future treatments you might need. If your injury leads to long-term care or rehab, that should absolutely be part of your claim.
Lost Income
If your injury caused you to miss work or impacted your ability to earn the same income, you may be able to claim lost wages or reduced earning potential. We’ve helped many clients recover what they missed during their recovery time.
Pain and Suffering
Injuries don’t just hurt physically — they take a toll mentally and emotionally, too. Georgia law allows you to recover for pain, stress, and the overall impact your injury has had on your daily life.
Emotional Distress
If you’ve been dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma after your accident, you’re not alone — and that matters legally, too. Emotional distress is a real part of recovery and can be included in your case.
Property Damage
If your car or other personal belongings were damaged in the accident, you may be able to claim repair or replacement costs.
Loss of Consortium
If your injury has affected your relationship with your spouse or family, they may have a right to recover for that impact as well.
Why This Matters
Accident cases aren’t just about paying bills — they’re about protecting your future. That’s why having the right legal team matters. We help you look at the full picture, not just the surface.
