As explained by Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. - Augusta, a personal injury is any injury to an individual’s body, mind or emotional state, as opposed to an injury to property. Personal injury lawsuits can be brought by the victims against the person or entity that caused the harm through negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct or intentional misconduct (and in some cases, on the basis of strict liability). The exact damages can differ from state to state; however, they generally cover aspects such as the injured person's medical bills, pain and suffering, diminished quality of life and potentially lost wages.

Tim Derrickson of Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. says, “The simple truth is that if you’ve been hurt as a result of another party’s actions or negligence, you can file a personal injury lawsuit. No matter where you are in the United States, that’s true. Whether your injury occured in the workplace, the road, a government building or even your own home, you are owed damages if you are not the party responsible for it.”

Georgia laws allow a victim to file a personal injury claim under a variety of circumstances. These circumstances involve automobile and bike accidents, slip and fall accidents, workplace accidents, defective products, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, dog bites, construction accidents, premises liability and more. In all such situations, the personal injury claims process exists to make sure that the victims are well compensated for anything that may have happened to them because of someone else’s negligence.

Derrickson says, “The right course of action to take if you find yourself hurt because of someone else is to get in touch with a lawyer who is an expert in personal injury cases. There are a lot of details to consider in personal injury cases, and having good representation on your side is crucial to ensuring that justice is served. At Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., our team of injury accident lawyers boast over 350 years of combined experience, and we are ready to use that experience to fight for you.”

The law firm’s reputation for being reliable and providing excellent legal services has earned them high praise from their community. In a recent 5-Star review, Sylvia Wunderly says, “Working with Ms. Jennifer Palmer over the past year has been an absolute pleasure. My case took a while due to the insurance company, yet Ms. Palmer stayed in constant touch with me. Ms. Palmer was very professional and patient with me and my many phone calls. If I am ever in need of an attorney again, I would definitely reach out to Ms. Palmer.”

Another client shares, “Marcus and Courtney were so nice to me and kept me informed of everything! And the best part was I didn't have to wait almost three years for my settlement! I was in an accident years before, and that attorney, who I won't name, took forever and a day for my settlement. It went on for so long that I just settled for that low amount offered because I just wanted it to be over. It only took Marcus a few short months, and I got way more than expected! If I'm ever in another accident again, I will surely call them! You won't regret it! Thanks again!”
