If you suffer burn trauma or another serious injury in Atlanta due to another person’s recklessness, carelessness, or negligence, you typically have two years from the date of the occurrence in which to bring a claim or file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault person or persons. If you fail to bring your claim within the proper time period, you effectively waive your right to monetary compensation for the burn injury—or for any other injury you received in the accident.
Therefore, if you or a loved one suffers a burn injury, retain an attorney to represent you in your case as soon as possible after the accident. An Atlanta burn injury lawyer can review and investigate the circumstances of your accident and determine what kind of claim should be filed on your behalf. A lawyer can then assist you with filing your claim and pursuing monetary damages for your injuries.
