Georgia Law Blog

I am an attorney located near Atlanta, Georgia.  My practice is devoted to represented people injured in automobile collisions, tractor-trailer wrecks, and on-the-job injuries.  My other website, which covers work injuries, is called the Georgia Workers' Compensation Law Blog.   

I decided to start this blog for several reasons.  First, 100% of my practice is devoted to helping people who are hurt.  I represent folks from all walks of life and backgrounds.  Whether they are injured in car accidents or due to the negligence of a big rig truck driver, my clients come to me with many questions and concerns.  Second, there is a great deal of misinformation floating around in cyberspace.  I want to establish a forum for those who have been injured through no fault of their own.  I also receive a great deal of case referrals from other attorneys who do not handle injury cases.  I also know many other injury attorneys.  For those in the legal community, my goal is to provide valuable information about the law, changes in the law, share my experiences, and discuss my strategies.

So, why do I say accidents just don't happen?  There are many definitions of the word accident.  I have formulate my beliefs after handling hundreds of injury cases.  However you chose to interpret the term, I do not believe that collisions are accidents.  In almost all cases, there was a conscious disregard for the safety of other which is at the core of a life changing automobile collision. On the other hand, I have yet to meet a defendant who I believe intended to cause a wreck.  Attorneys often look for aggravating factors such as being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, reckless conduct, a bad driving history, and violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act.  Many people are surprised to learn that, upon conducting a thorough investigation, attorneys are able to uncover reckless conduct in many cases.
