Georgia Personal Injury Legal Questions

The fact that you settled your workers' compensation case means that further recovery in this matter is doubtful. The only action you may have at this point is medical malpractice (if the malpractice occurred within the previous two years). Please be aware that different physicians give different diagnoses and treatment. Some of the treatment is helpful; some is not. None of this constitutes medical malpractice by the physician. If you would like more information, consult with an attorney who practices medical malpractice law.... Read More

Normally stores like Walmart have a ton of surveillance. They probably had evidence they thought could prove she was helping. I would need to know more about the circumstances- did they ride to the store together? were they walking around together? etc before I could give you a better answer. False arrest and malicious prosecution actions can be very difficult. What county in GA did this happen in?... Read More

He / you have a case, but the facts will need to be further discussed. There are a lot of factors, recoveries and the story to be told that determine liability and value. Also, insurance companies will determine whether it is a person "making their own case," a mill's form letter or a detailed demand package that is the determining factor of an offer. And then is that offer suitable? Essentially, insurance carriers try to negotiate every dollar they can, because every $100 means millions in the end to the Board of Directors. And their lawyers are, respectfully, good at getting one over on novice lawyers and novice victims- you would be basically both. For that reason - and the misinformation by TV lawyers and referral services- is why people should consult lawyers who take the time like on sites like this. Because of the economy, more lawyers are jumping into personal injury and should stick to what they know. Personal injury law REQUIRED knowledge about medical science and biomechanics (the forces on a body in a wreck) far greater and more specific than you'd think. The other side has doctors and millions on their side to say nothing is wrong or fight the claim.   Give a lawyer a call.  You can learn more about us at http://www.knowthelawyer.com.  We'd be happy to discuss this with you - 800-656-6952 or help@knowthelawyer.com. ...

Yes. We take cases on a contingency that there is a recovery for you. Essentially, insurance carriers try to negotiate every dollar they can, because every $100 means millions in the end to the Board of Directors. Even in soft tissue injuries, those tissues stretch and scar, or cause corresponding pressure on nerves in the spinal cord, leaving behind permanent problems for some. I have had clients need surgeries years later because of a bulging disk and have their entire world collapse for what seemed inconsequential at the time. Insurance companies want you to settle as soon as possible and treat as little as possible. Attorneys matter. They change their gameplan when a lawyer is involved. It seems like your injuries are more serious. For that reason - and the misinformation by TV lawyers and referral services- is why people should consult lawyers who take the time like on sites like this. Because of the economy, more lawyers are jumping into personal injury and should stick to what they know.

You may have a case. We'd be happy to review it with you. There are three aspects to every case- 1) fault, which is based on whether the store should have known and remedied this condition; 2) did it cause damage or injury which is clear and 3) what is the value of those damages and injuries and, for injuries to the person, the pain, suffering and inconvenience they cause you worth?
