Skilled Legal Services To Determine Liability And Fault In Litigation

Whether it is related to a personal injury claim, a business dispute or any litigation case, proving liability and fault is essential to building a solid legal strategy for both plaintiffs and defendants. Regardless of which side of a claim you are on, you have the right to make your case before a court.

At Peavy Law, LLC, I represent the rights of plaintiffs and defendants in Atlanta. I am attorney Jay Peavy, and I have been successfully arguing complex defense litigation cases since 1987. I have handled business disputes, personal injury litigation and other civil cases, such as professional malpractice.

Building A Solid Case For Plaintiffs

Individuals injured due to negligent actions by third parties might be entitled to recover damages and file a lawsuit. To do so, a victim must prove that:

• The alleged negligent party had a duty of care toward the plaintiff.
• The party at fault failed to provide such care.
• The plaintiff suffered damages.
• The defendant’s conduct is connected to the damages suffered, or the accident was foreseeable.

Although proving the other party’s negligence could seem straightforward, it involves acute attention to detail, investigation and extensive experience to support your case. Moreover, Georgia laws follow a contributory negligence rule, which allows a victim to recover compensation even if the victim was partially at fault for an accident – as long as their fault is less than 50%.

Protecting The Legal Rights Of Defendants

If someone pressed charges against you due to an accident, you have a right to make your case to prove you were not at fault or that the plaintiff was also partially at fault. When I receive your case, I will engage in a thorough investigation to determine:

• How the accident occurred and all aspects of contributory negligence
• Whether the plaintiff had preexisting medical conditions that could have worsened their injuries
• If the plaintiff was aware of the risks involved in any action or job; for example, if they signed a waiver to acknowledge the risks of carrying out a particular activity that later led to an accident

My ability to interpret the impact that constant changes to liability laws could have on a client’s ongoing case is crucial to building solid strategies. I am an experienced litigator who has tried over 100 cases. You can rest assured that you have an experienced attorney in your corner committed to fighting for you.
