Our Services

In Georgia, anyone who suffers harm due to the careless or wrongful actions of an entity or individual can pursue damages in a personal injury lawsuit. In most cases, the lawsuit will allege that the party that caused the injured party's harm was negligent. To succeed in a cause of action for negligence, a plaintiff must show that the defendant had a legal duty to act with ordinary care for the protection of other people, but the defendant breached the duty, which caused the plaintiff's injuries. The plaintiff must also prove that he or she suffered actual losses or damages due to the breach.

We handle various types of personal injury claims, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, and medical malpractice. While some people are fortunate enough to walk away from a car accident unharmed, many victims involved in car accidents sustain substantial injuries. In many cases in which an injured person seeks damages from the driver who caused the accident, the driver will attempt to avoid liability by arguing that the injured person caused the accident. Under Georgia's modified comparative fault rule, however, if a plaintiff was less than 50% at fault, he or she can still recover compensation.

In the event of a truck accident, the victim will be able to pursue claims against the driver of the truck and the driver's employer, if the driver was working for a company at the time of the accident. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by drivers failing to stop in time and striking a motorcycle from behind or making a left-hand turn in front of a motorcycle despite not having adequate time to do so. Premises liability claims arise from hazards encountered on a property, such as debris or liquid on the ground, or sidewalks or stairs that have fallen into disrepair. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to provide appropriate care, resulting in harm to the patient.
