Catastrophic injuries change lives forever. Victims may be physically or mentally incapacitated and their families thrust into the role of full-time caregivers. These injuries are the most expensive to treat and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars or more over a lifetime. If your injuries or those of your loved one were due to the careless actions of another person, you have the right to pursue compensation to pay for medical bills and other losses.

We handle cases involving car accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction accidents, and other dangerous incidents.

Georgia Code Section 9-3-33 gives a two-year statute of limitations to file catastrophic injury lawsuits. The clock begins running the date of the accident.

It is wise to get legal advice as soon as possible following an accident in which you were injured due to another party’s negligent actions.

We receive many questions as attorneys with an extensive background resolving injury claims, including these common ones.
There are several elements to proving fault for catastrophic injuries. We will work to show that the party who caused your accident owed you a duty of care (for example, drivers have a duty to others on the road to drive safely). The party breached that duty. The breach caused your injuries, and you sustained damages because of it.
Economic damages may include payment for past and future medical bills, assistance with tasks of daily living, lost wages and benefits, and loss of future earnings. Noneconomic damages can include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of consortium. We will help you determine your specific damages.
In many cases we are able to negotiate settlements with the insurance companies of negligent parties. But we always thoroughly prepare cases as if we are going to trial. If a party refuses to settle or a fair settlement offer isn’t made, we will proceed to court. Sometimes parties who refuse to settle change their minds when they see that we are not afraid to go all the way to trial.

One thing I can truly say about the Stoddard Firm is that they take great initiative in helping their clients. My case and situation took a lot out of me. Mentally, emotionally and even physically.
