We have successfully fought for our clients who were hurt in the following types of accidents or who sustained the following types of injuries:

Auto
Accidents

Each year thousands of victims across Georgia are injured in car accidents, many of which could have been prevented. If you were harmed in an auto accident caused by a negligent driver, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries and losses by filing a claim.

Traumatic Brain
Injuries

Traumatic injury to the brain is often the result of car accidents or
truck accidents. The damage from these injuries often has extensive and lifelong impacts upon the victims, but they can seek rightful compensation through a personal injury claim.

Motorcycle
Accidents

Motorcycles offer little protection to riders, and when they are involved in collisions with larger passenger vehicles the results can be disastrous. If you sustained serious injuries after being hit by a negligent driver, you can seek a fair settlement and hold them liable for their actions through a personal injury claim.

Truck
Accidents

Truck drivers are held to very high standards and must abide by numerous regulations when operating their vehicles. If they are negligent and make reckless or careless choices on the job, they and their trucking companies could be held liable for any resulting injuries or damages sustained by victims.

Spinal Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are often caused by negligent accidents, such as car crashes, trucking accidents or slip and fall cases. Damage to the spine can seriously impact victims’ capabilities and even leave them partially or fully paralyzed. If you sustained a spinal injury because of another’s negligence, contact our firm today to discuss your options to pursue rightful compensation.

Wrongful
Death

There is nothing more tragic and painful than losing a loved one, and if your loss was caused by the negligence of another person, we can help you take legal action. Filing a wrongful death claim allows you to pursue a generous settlement to hold the responsible party liable for their actions and to fight for justice on behalf of your loved one.

If you had a car or trucking accident, here are things you need to do at the scene of the accident:

(1) Determine the Extent of Damage or Injuries – Check to see if anyone needs urgent medical care. If you can, try not to move the vehicles unless they are causing a major problem with traffic. If possible, wait for the police before moving anything.

(2) Contact the Police- Even in a minor accident, it is important to make sure there is a legal accident report.

 (3) Limit Your Conversation about the Accident with the Other Party- It is important to limit your discussion of the accident and not to admit any fault or liability. You should only talk about the accident with the police, medical professionals, and your attorney.

(4) Get the Facts of Your Car Accident- Getting the facts of an accident is the part most people know but often forget due to the stress of being in a car accident. It is important to get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of everyone involved in the accident. A description of the car and license plate number can also be helpful, but make sure you also get their insurance company and their car’s vehicle identification number.

(5) Take Pictures of Your Car and the At-Fault Driver’s Car– Pictures are worth a thousand words. Taking pictures of your car, the at-fault driver’s car and the scene of the accident can possibly increase the value of your case.

(6) If You Sustain Any Bodily Injuries, Go Seek Medical Treatment Immediately– If you are feeling any type of pain go and seek medical treatment immediately. Go either to your local hospital or urgent care center. Car and trucking insurance companies look to see how long it took you to seek treatment- the sooner you see a doctor the better it will be for your case. Make sure to use your health insurance if available once you go and get treatment.
