Practice Areas

The following are the most common areas that we practice in. Whether or not you see anything below that resembles your own situation, contact us as soon as possible to request a free initial consultation where we can discuss your injuries and your upcoming case.

Auto Accident

Any type of car accident can be a terrifying, dangerous, and sometimes deadly experience. When someone else is at fault for your accident, then they must be held responsible for the damages that they cause you, both economic and non-economic. When you are working directly with an insurance company, having an attorney on your side is one of the best ways to ensure that your case is taken seriously and you are able to fight for the money that you truly deserve.

Dog Bite

In 2012, Georgia passed a law known as Responsible Dog Ownership Law that placed a variety of requirements on dog owners, such as having a minimum of $50,000 in liability insurance when you own a “dangerous” breed. Not every dog attack is guaranteed to be protected under tort law, so it is important that you work with an experienced attorney who can help you build a strong and clear case.

Slip/Trip and Fall

A slip and fall, or trip and fall, is one type of premise liability that you are legally protected against. If you have been injured on someone else’s property, whether public or private, as a result of a hazard or dangerous situation, contact us to learn about your rights and options as a victim in this instance.

Premises Liability

Premise liability is the greater umbrella of property owner responsibility and liability that a slip and fall lives under. These issues are generally addressed in O.C.G.A. §51-3-1: “Where an owner or occupier of land, by express or implied invitation, induces or leads others to come upon his premises for any lawful purpose, he is liable in damages to such persons for injuries caused by his failure to exercise ordinary care in keeping the premises and approaches safe.”

Trucking Accident

An accident with a commercial truck can be much more dangerous than a collision between two passenger vehicles depending on things like the speed, angle of approach, and more. These vehicles are extremely complex, and often haul heavy cargo loads that can lead to issues like loss of control, braking issues, improperly stored cargo, and more. When you file an insurance claim after a trucking accident, you will be working with a commercial insurance policy that can be very complicated.

Product Liability

When you buy a product and use it for its intended purpose, you have reason to trust that the product will operate as it is advertised and that you are safe from injuries or hazards that go beyond normal use. In some cases, you may be injured while using a product as it is intended, and it can be determined that your injuries are the result of a failure of someone along the supply chain. In this instance, we will seek compensation from the responsible party, such as the manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or others involved with distributing this product.

Wrongful Death

When a loved one has been killed by the intent or negligence of a liable party, and they would’ve had the right to file a personal injury claim had they lived, then the surviving loved ones can file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the decedent as well as for the suffering the decedent experienced before they died.

Catastrophic Injury

(injuries including traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, and spinal injuries) Catastrophic injuries that result from a slip and fall, motor vehicle accident or other personal injury can include traumatic brain injury (TBI), paralysis, the loss of a limb or the loss of the proper functioning of an organ.
