Proven advocate litigates vehicle, defective product and malpractice actions

Our firm has an established track record in state and federal courts. Though we’ve won major verdicts at the trial and appeal level, our family-owned firm devotes the same care and attention to every case we handle, including actions relating to:

• Vehicle accidents — After an auto accident or some other type of vehicle collision, obtaining the payment you need to cover related expenses could be more complicated than you anticipated. Our firm knows how to deal with insurance companies and deliver compelling arguments on fault and damages. If your collision involves a truck or motorcycle, we’re also well versed in the unique aspects of those claims.
• Products liability — Defective products pose a serious threat to anyone who uses them, but it can be intimidating taking on large manufacturers in court. As a firm with numerous successes in products liability, you can trust us to advance your case in litigation and negotiations.
• Medical malpractice — We know how difficult it can be to seek justice when you believe you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice. Regardless of how complex the situation might be, we’ll bring in the necessary experts and make the process as simple and stress-free as possible. Even if you don’t think you have a potential case, it’s always worth a call so that we can review your circumstances and options.
• Slip and fall incidents — Our firm handles premises liability cases when someone is harmed because they’ve slipped on an unsafe surface or due to some other carelessness on the part of a property owner. Even if you might be partly responsible for the injury, you can still win a recovery as long as your share of the fault is less than that of the defendant.

In most cases, Georgia law requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed within two years of the incident. However, stricter deadlines exist for claims against the government, and the statute of limitations can be tolled if the victim is a child or mentally incapable of asserting their legal rights. If someone close to you has been severely hurt and needs someone else to advance their legal claim, we can advise you on the necessary legal steps.

Knowledgeable adviser pursues compensation available under Georgia law

Unlike some states, Georgia does not limit the damages that a personal injury victim is able to collect. A tort reform law that set these caps was ruled unconstitutional under the state’s constitution. That means our firm is able to press for a financial recovery that fully compensates victims for they harm they’ve endured. Specific damages include reimbursement for medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, the effect of permanent impairment or disfigurement, and any loss in the victim’s quality of life. A spouse may also seek relief for any loss of consortium. In cases involving long-term harm from a traumatic brain injury or some other type of serious condition, we’ll conduct a comprehensive review of your situation so we can make a demand that completely addresses the consequences of the defendant’s negligence.
