Develop a Legal Strategy Tailored to Your Case
No two cases are the same, so we will use our experience with personal injury cases and the evidence unique to your injuries to develop a personalized strategy for you.
Determine the Value of Your Losses
With the evidence we collect, we can determine the fair value to cover your injuries and losses. Knowing what you have lost and your future needs, we can effectively negotiate with the insurance companies and the liable party’s attorneys and advise you on the settlements they offer.
Damages, the legal term for losses, are either economic or non-economic. Economic means they have a dollar value attached to them, and non-economic represents how the injury has affected you and your family’s quality of life.
The types of damages you may be able to claim in your catastrophic accident case could include the following:
- Past medical expenses and future healthcare
- Lost income, including tips and bonuses
- Diminished earning capacity if you can no longer work as you once did
- Therapy and rehabilitation costs
- Medical devices and medications
- Home and vehicle modifications
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
If you lost a loved one in a catastrophic accident, please accept our condolences on your loss. We understand the trauma you and your family are experiencing and want to help you recover. In a wrongful death case, your family may be able to collect damages for the funeral and burial expenses, loss of support, loss of consortium, and possibly more. Our wrongful death attorney in Atlanta can review your case and explain.
Handle All Legal Documents and Filings
We will complete all legal documents in your case and file them before the statute of limitations expires. In catastrophic injury cases, O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 sets the deadline for filing a lawsuit. You generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit against the liable party. In wrongful death cases, you have two years from the date your loved one passes from their injuries.
To ensure you retain the right to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation, we advise prospective clients to reach out to us as soon as possible. We will need the time to build your case, plus the right to file helps us during negotiations.
Represent Your Interests During Negotiations
We have handled personal injury cases for 30 years. We know the tactics that insurance adjusters and companies use to protect their profits. We can protect you from those tactics and fight for fair compensation. We will present your demands for compensation and make sure any offers made meet your needs. If necessary, we can use your right to file a lawsuit as leverage and force the insurance companies to negotiate fairly or face us in court.
Represent Your Interests in Court
If we cannot reach a fair settlement agreement, we can argue your case in court. Most often, injury cases are settled during negotiations, but we prepare to take your case to court.
Provide Support and Open Lines of Communications
We want you to feel relaxed that your case is being handled effectively and professionally. You can reach out to us at any time. We can answer any of your questions and address your concerns. Your responsibility is to heal. Ours is to build the strongest claim possible to get the compensation you need to rebuild your life.
