Should I Call a Lawyer If I’ve Been Injured at a Store?
Yes, if you have been seriously hurt and require follow up medical care. This would certainly include a broken bone or injury that requires surgery. If you have a minor injury that is not going to need follow up medical attention, there may not be much a lawyer can do. Store owners and property managers have a responsibility to take sensible measures to keep their stores reasonably safe. The law does not require an owner of a store to ensure a customer’s safety while shopping. Meeting the legal burden of proof that a store owner/manager is negligent (i.e., failed to… [Read More...]
Can a Concussion Lead to Depression?
Did you know that your seemingly mild concussion could lead to long-term depression? Most people who suffer a concussion are grateful that their brain injury isn’t more severe. They may believe that they suffered a mild injury and one that will heal in a few weeks, and hopefully that does happen with no lasting impact. Unfortunately, many accident victims are surprised to learn that their concussion symptoms may not just disappear. Even more are surprised to realize that their concussion is the reason they are now suffering a serious mood or mental health disorder, such as depression. About half of… [Read More...]
What is my medical malpractice case worth?
Previously, I wrote about “What is my personal injury case worth.” Most of what is written in that blog is applicable for a medical malpractice case. However, there are additional challenges in medical malpractice cases due to the difficulties, time, and expenses involved in bringing such a case. The differences between a professional liability policy (like a Doctor’s malpractice policy) and a typical general liability insurance policy (like your auto policy) also impact the settlement value of a case. Here, we will discuss factors outside your control that impact what a malpractice insurer and doctor may agree upon to settle… [Read More...]
What is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
“What is my case worth” is a burning question all injured people have and most lawyers struggle to answer. The reason is because the answer depends on many different facts and variables, many of which are outside your and the lawyer’s control. Furthermore, what your case is worth depends on how badly you are hurt, what your medical bills are, how much time you missed from work, etc. Most of these facts are not known for months sometimes years after the event causing injury. What your case is worth may also be depend on how much insurance coverage there is… [Read More...]
What to Know Before (and After) Firing Your Lawyer in Georgia
Terminating the services of a lawyer in Georgia is easy. You just send a short email, letter, fax, even a text stating that you no longer wish his or her services and ask that he or she send you your complete file. You have a strong constitutional right to have the lawyer of your choice represent you on a case. Regardless of the agreement that you may have signed, that agreement cannot prevent you from replacing that lawyer. It would be unconstitutional if it did.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injuries in Georgia Extended Due to Covid-19 Pandemic
Accidents happen all the time. In many of them, people are injured. If you are injured, to recover compensation for your injury, you must file a lawsuit before a legal deadline. The deadline is called the statute of limitations. If you don’t file in time, your case will be “time-barred” and a Court will dismiss or throw it out shortly after you file it. For that reason, you should retain a conscientious, experienced personal injury lawyer shortly after getting hurt to make sure that your suit does not become time barred. The Default Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury… [Read More...]

Saving A Few Bucks on Car Insurance Could Really Cost You And Your Family
Being in this line of work (helping people recover from serious personal injuries), we see our fair share of car wrecks. Bad wrecks. Wrecks caused by drunk drivers. Wrecks caused by people fleeing a crime scene. Wrecks caused by kids sneaking off with their parents’ car. Wrecks caused by uninsured drivers. Wrecks causing serious, debilitating, life-altering, life-taking injuries. Unfortunately, the most careless among us tend to have the least to lose and are often grossly underinsured. Georgia law only requires that a driver have $25,000.00 in liability insurance. That’s it. If you are seriously injured, that won’t even cover an… [Read More...]
