PERSONAL INJURY

Anytime someone you know or love has been injured it is important to first be there for them. Secondly, do your due diligence when looking for an attorney. We want to inform the family on the process of these cases and allow them to have an open line of communication on a daily basis. No dropped calls or telemarketers. We fight for the community and enjoy helping you.

Personal Injury happens at a moments notice and typically blindsides an individual or family. Whether it be a Car Wreck, Slip and Fall or Workers Compensation you need someone close by, to be there throughout the process. We pride ourselves in being local and available for our clients whenever they need us. We know the streets of Columbus Ga, the businesses, and the inner workings of the corporate community.

It is important to remember that your attorney works for you. From the moment you retain our office to represent you, we are actively working to reach the best result for you, our client.

Car Wreck

Car wrecks are one of the most common events that can cause serious injuries. Almost everyone drives or rides in a car on a regular basis. We never know when another driver may be careless and cause an accident. We have handled hundreds of cases for clients injured in car accidents. Our cases have ranged from soft tissue cases to serious, disabling injuries and death. Every case is different, and deserves specific, individual attention.

Slip and fall

Sometimes people get injured with no warning, while simply walking around. You may slip in water, or trip on an obstacle or step in a hole. The owner of the premises where you are injured may be liable for your injuries. These are often called "slip and fall" cases. However, these cases are very legitimate and often are associated with serious injuries.

Workers Compensation

There is special protection in the law for workers who are injured while acting in the business of their employer. This is called workers compensation benefits. Your employers insurance will have to cover your medical bills and pay for your temporary total disability. However, if you have a permanent disability you may be entitled to a settlement. That is where your lawyer can help protect your rights. Let us evaluate your work injury and make sure your rights are protected.

Today, people are inundated with legal advertising from lawyers who want to handle your case. The lawyer who represents you is totally up to you. No lawyer is "your lawyer" until you say so! We hope you will give us the chance to earn that special privilege.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our ultimate goal is to see that you receive full justice in any verdict or settlement.

Q. CAN I RECOVER EVEN IF I HAD A PRIOR INJURY?

A: Yes. If you reinjure a part of your body, or if the previous injury is made worse, you can recover for this exacerbation of your condition. A claimant is not penalized for having a pre-existing condition when injured in an accident.

Q. CAN I RECOVER IF THE DRIVER WHO HURTS ME HAD NO INSURANCE?

A: Maybe. It depends on whether or not there is uninsured motorist coverage or if another entity, like an employer, may be liable.

Q. HOW MUCH IS YOUR CAR ACCIDENT CASE WORTH?

A. It is impossible to tell a new client or new inquiry the ultimate value of their injury claim before we know all the injuries and all medical treatment has been completed with all bills received. Some of the factors that go into any valuation are:

Cause of the accident. In order to assist us in determining liability, we obtain the police report, obtain witness statements, and get pictures necessary of the vehicles and scene.
The duration and amount of medical treatment and the nature and extent of your injuries and the amount of your medical bills.
Whether there are any future medical costs or treatments;
Whether there will be any future lost wages and future medical treatments such as future surgery;
Past lost wages.
Temporary and permanent disability and scarring.
