Personal injury laws were established to give those who have been injured by another person’s negligence the right to file a civil lawsuit and recover compensation. These laws can apply to a number of different situations, including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, and more. The amount of compensation that victims are awarded will vary depending on a number of factors. In general, victims are entitled to recover compensation for current and future medical expenses, current and expected lost wages, and pain and suffering that they have experienced as a result of their injuries.
Compensation is never a guarantee in any case, so you will need an experienced personal injury attorney on your side to fight tirelessly for a fair settlement. Schedule a free consultation with our team of attorneys to discuss how we can help you achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
Many people that have been injured in car accidents try to handle their personal injury claims without the help of an attorney. But, this is a significant mistake that could affect your ability to recover the compensation that you deserve for your serious injuries. If you don’t have an attorney representing you after an accident, it’s possible that you could say something incriminating to the insurance adjuster when discussing the case. Even if you don’t explicitly accept fault for the accident, your words could be taken out of context and used to lower the value of your claim. Without an attorney’s guidance, it’s also possible that you could accept a settlement from the insurance company that is far lower than what you actually deserve.
Don’t put your future at risk by attempting to handle a personal injury claim on your own. Our attorneys will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome in your case. Schedule a free consultation with an attorney at Spaulding Injury Law today.
Semi-trucks, which are also known as semi-trailer trucks, 18-wheelers, or tractor-trailer rigs, are much larger and heavier than other vehicles on the road. Because of this, trucks can cause a great deal of property damage when they collide with a smaller vehicle on the road. More importantly, trucks can also severely injure the passengers inside the vehicle.
Some of the most common injuries that truck accident victims sustain include fractured bones, internal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage. Victims may be entitled to compensation for their injuries, but going up against a large trucking company and their insurance company can be intimidating for someone who is just trying to get help paying their medical bills.
If you have been injured in a truck accident, don’t let the thought of fighting a sizable insurance company scare you. Our attorneys have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies and we won’t back down when faced with a challenge. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation regarding your case.

No one ever expects to be involved in a motorcycle accident. But unfortunately, they happen every day, so it’s important to know your rights in the event that you are involved in this type of collision. Motorcycle accidents are typically caused by negligent drivers that were distracted, intoxicated, or simply driving recklessly at the time of the accident. If a negligent driver was to blame for your accident, then he should be held liable for the injuries that you have sustained as a result of the crash.
Motorcycle accident victims may be able to recover compensation for their medical expenses, estimated future medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An insurance company may try to get in touch with you following the accident to offer you a settlement. But, it’s important that you don’t accept any offers before speaking to an attorney in Atlanta, GA. Our team will review your case and help you determine the true value of your claim so you are not misled into accepting an unfair offer. Contact us today to review your case.
Wrongful death laws vary from state to state. In Georgia, a wrongful death is defined as one that is caused by “negligent, reckless, intentional, or criminal” actions of another person. If your loved one’s life was cut short by the negligent or reckless acts of another person, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim to seek justice and recover compensation.
There are several people that are legally permitted to file a wrongful death claim in the state of Georgia. The victim’s spouse is the first person who is able to take legal action. If there is no surviving spouse, the victim’s children have the right to file a wrongful death claim instead. Some victims don’t leave behind a surviving spouse or children. In this case, the victim’s parents or the representative of the victim’s estate will be able to move forward with a wrongful death claim. Regardless of who files the claim, it’s important that you move quickly. Surviving family members only have two years from the date of the victim’s death to file a claim. Don’t delay any longer—get in touch with the individuals in our office today to discuss your legal options during a free case evaluation.
