Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injuries in the United States. According to the NHTSA, in 2004 there were 2,788,000 injuries and over 42,000 deaths due to auto accidents. As a skilled Atlanta Accident Attorney, I have successfully represented many auto accident victims, and I can help you too. In fact, the majority of the cases I take on are from people like you looking for a car accident lawyer in Georgia. I have won millions for my clients, so call today for your free consultation and to see how I can help you.

With over 25 years of experience handling serious personal injury cases, I know how to help you recover the compensation you deserve. With any personal injury case you must prove negligence of another person or product. I understand how to help you determine who is liable in order to help you get the highest compensation possible for your accident injury case. My team and I will definitely help you get what is rightfully yours.

Do not take an insurance company settlement offer until you have talked to me. I have recovered awards for my clients that were many times more that the initial settlement offered by the defendant’s insurance company. I will help you determine the full extent of your injuries so you can get the compensation you deserve as a result of your auto accident. You may be asking, “How much is my case worth?” Call my office today and let me expertly evaluate your accident case:

• Auto/ Truck/ Tractor Trailer Accidents
• Bus Accident Injury Claims
• Drunk Driver Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Other Vehicle Accidents
• Other Personal Injury Claims
• Wrongful Death

All of my cases are taken on contingency basis, which means you pay nothing unless you win.

A person who negligently operates a vehicle is required by law to pay for any and all damages caused. All operators of vehicles must drive with "reasonable care under the circumstances." If such care is not used, and an accident occurs, they are responsible for all damages.

If you have been injured through the carelessness, negligence or irresponsible behavior of another individual or organization, you probably have a valid personal injury claim. Since most of the time you will suffer some form of loss (be it income, physical, emotional, or other), you have a claim arising from injuries sustained as a result of the use or operation of motor vehicles, including claims against the at-fault motorist and uninsured motorist claims.

As an experienced Atlanta Accident Attorney, I make your needs my top priority. I will manage all aspects of your case, including complex investigations, vital research, contacting insurance companies and engaging in negotiations. From beginning to end, I will guide you through an often intimidating, tedious process of challenging corporations and insurance companies until a fair settlement is reached. I will navigate your claim through the court system and regularly communicate with you regarding your case. I stand ready to fight for you.

Practice Areas and Legal Definitions

Vehicle Accidents:
Legal claims that arise from vehicle accidents are typically governed by the law of negligence.  Any individual who negligently operates a motor vehicle may be required to pay damages to an injured victim.  A personal injury case involving a vehicle accident may become formalized through civil court proceedings or may be resolved through an informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed.  Vehicle accidents can include:

• Automobile accidents
• Aviation accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Boating accidents
• Commercial bus accidents
• Cruise ship accidents
• Intersection accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Rear end collisions
• Semi-tractor trailer accidents
• School bus accidents
• SUV rollover accidents
• Train accidents
• Truck accidents
• Yacht accidents

The surviving family members of a fatally injured accident victim may be able to bring wrongful death charges against the defendant.

Automobile Accidents:
A car accident is a collision involving an automobile and anything that causes damage to the automobile, including other automobiles, telephone poles, buildings and trees. Sometimes a car accident may also refer to an automobile striking a human or animal. Car accidents — also called traffic collisions, auto accidents, road accidents, personal injury collisions, motor vehicle accidents and crashes — kill an estimated 1.2 million people worldwide each year, and injure about forty times this number.

Motorcycle Accidents:
Motorcycle riders are often exposed to dangers not met by automobile drivers and other motorists on the road.  The lack on any substantial protective barriers, as well as the difficulty that other motorists may have in seeing or stopping for a motorcycle, leaves riders prone to serious personal injury in the event of an accident.

Bicycle Accidents:
According to the Federal Highway Administration, over 67,000 cyclists in the U.S. are injured every year in accidents involving motor vehicles.  Many cyclists who are injured in bicycle accidents are unaware that they have a personal injury case and that they may be entitled to compensation for injuries, pain and suffering, medical bills and lost incomes.  A cyclist may be entitled to receive compensation for an injury sustained because of a pothole, poor road or defective sidewalk.  There are state mandated residential and commercial bicycle laws, which entitle cyclists to observe different traffic rules than cars, trucks and other motorized vehicles.  This may mean that the cyclist is not legally responsible for an accident.

Train Accidents:
Train accidents can result in injuries such as sprains and fractures, catastrophic injury such as head trauma, brain damage, paralysis and loss of lives or property.  Train accidents can include derailments, collisions with passenger vehicles or other trains, grade crossing accidents or accidents due to mechanical failure.  It is the railroad company's responsibility to ensure that there are appropriate signals and gates at every railroad crossing for safety precautions.  If the railroad company fails to take such precautions, they are liable for any injury or death that ensues.  Victims of train accidents may be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, property damage, lost wages and loss of earning capacity.

SUV Rollovers:
Although SUV rollovers do not occur as often as other automobile accidents, when they do occur they have a higher chance of resulting in serious injury or death, and are considered to be the most fatal type of vehicle accident on national roadways.  According to the Federal Highway Administration, SUV rollover accidents account for more than side and rear fatal vehicles combined and SUV's are three times more likely than the average passenger car rollover.

Although SUV's were designed primarily for the purpose of off-roading, manufacturers have since discovered their immense popularity as family vehicles.  Manufacturers have begun removing roll bars in current models.  SUV seat structures are not designed to keep occupants in place during a rollover regardless if seatbelts are worn.  Vehicle roofs, windshields and side windows easily collapse, increasing the risk of occupant head, brain and spinal cord and back injuries.  While the body of an SUV remains the same as it would if used for off-roading, the removal of the roll bars, combined with the high center gravity due to multiple passengers, make rollover accidents and occupant ejection that much more fatal.

Wrongful Death:
A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or organization.  A legal action for wrongful death belongs to the decedent's immediate family members, usually a surviving spouse and children, and sometimes parents.  Under certain circumstances, unrelated minor children living with and supported by the decedent may also bring a claim for wrongful death.  In order to bring a successful wrongful death cause of action, the following elements must be present:

• The death of a human being caused by another's negligent or intentional conduct.
• The survival of family members who are suffering the loss of financial support, love, care, comfort, supervision, guidance, household assistance and general society previously provided by the deceased.

The general rule in wrongful death cases is that one is entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages which are suffered as a result of the loss of a loved one.  Economic damages in a wrongful death case include an award for the financial contributions which the decedent would have made to his or her spouse, children and/or parents had he or she survived.  It also includes the recovery for funeral service expenses in memory of the decedent and for burial cost.  Non-economic damages include loss of love, society, companionship, comfort, affection, solace or moral support.
