PERSONAL INJURY AND AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
We represent individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another's person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as car accidents, defective products, infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, and negligence.
Initial consultations are always free and contingency fees are available.
Auto and Boating Accidents-Many personal injuries result from motor vehicle accidents, such as car accidents, motorcycle accidents, or boating accidents. Accidents may involve negligence on the part of drivers, including drunk driving and reckless behavior. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, we can assist you in receiving compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.
Dog Bite Attacks-Georgia has specific laws governing the care and restraint of domestic pets. If you have been injured by an animal, you may have claims against the pet's owner. Please contact our firm for assistance and advice.
Incidents Involving Horses-Georgia has specific laws regarding accidents involving horses. Although there are immunity laws in Georgia which may prevent certain individuals and/or entities from being sued for certain accidents involving horses, there are limitations to these immunity laws which may permit a lawsuit against these individuals and/or entities. If you have been injured in an incident involving a horse, you may have claims against certain individuals and/or entities. Please contact us for advice and assistance and in order to know your rights and remedies.
Nuisance, Trespass and Water Invasion Claims-If your property has been damaged due to nuisance, trespass or water invasion, we may be able to assist you. Although property must accept the natural runoff of water from neighboring lands, an artificial increase or concentration of water discharge may give rise to a cause of action. Please contact us to determine what your rights and remedies are regarding these types of claims.
Tort Claims-A Tort, broadly speaking, is a civil wrong or injury, other than a breach of contract, for which the court will provide a remedy in the form of an action for damages. Tort Claims include claims for negligence (a breach of a duty that causes damages), intentional torts against the person (assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress), intentional torts against property (trespass to land, trespass to chattels (personal property), conversion), strict liability (liability without fault), nuisance (a defendant's interference with a plaintiff's interests (the invasion, that is the hurt, annoyance or inconvenience of a person's interests)), misrepresentation or fraud, defamation (slander and libel), invasions of the right of privacy, misuse of legal procedure (malicious prosecution, wrongful civil proceedings, abuse of process, abusive litigation pursuant to Title 51, Chapter 7, Article 5 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated), interference with commercial or economic relations (injurious falsehood, interference with contractual relations, interference with prospective advantage), domestic relations torts (including loss of consortium (the loss of services, society, and affection of a spouse due to the defendant's conduct)), and wrongful death and survival actions (in general, a wrongful death action is a claim or cause of action in favor of a representative and for the benefit of certain designated persons, usually those most likely to have suffered a loss for the victim's death; in general, a survival action is a claim or cause of action held by the decedent immediately before or at death, now transferred to his personal representative). Damages in tort claims may include compensatory damages (damages to compensate for the injury), general damages, special damages, incidental damages, and punitive damages (punitive damages are damages to punish the tortfeasor/defendant and are in addition to other damages). Equitable Relief may also be obtained in certain cases (equitable relief includes injunctions and restraining orders). If you have been injured or damaged as a result of another's tortious conduct, please feel free to contact us and discuss your claim. If a family member has been severely injured or killed as a result of another's tortuous actions, please contact us so that we may discuss all or your rights, remedies, and damages relating to those actions.
Premises Liability-Often people are injured due to a defect on someone's property. Whether you have suffered an injury due to a fall on someone's property or due to someone's failure to provide adequate and/or sufficient security on their property, you may have a claim for damages against those persons and/or entities. Please contact us so that you may be informed about your rights and remedies in these situations.
Medical Malpractice- We represent individuals who have died or suffered extensive injuries resulting from negligence of a hospital, physician, nurse practitioner, or other health care provider. Catastrophic cases may arise from a primary care doctor's failure to diagnose diseases, such as cancer, or failure to refer patients to an appropriate medical specialist, a baby who dies or is permanently maimed, and patients who are sent home from the emergency room with inadequate treatment. Not every bad result means someone was negligent. Our experience has made us adept at analyzing these cases, simplifying complex medical matters, and identifying and aggressively pursuing legal remedies.
Workers' Compensation-Our firm represents employees who are injured on the job in claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry, federal, state, and local government employers and their workers' compensation insurers.
Wrongful Death-If you've lost a loved one in an accident or as the result of a faulty or defective product or piece of equipment, we can represent your interests against the parties at fault and their insurance companies to seek damages on your behalf.
