Car accidents

Crashes the firm handles

The car accident page lists rear-end collisions, T-bone and intersection crashes caused by running a red light or a stop sign, head-on collisions, hit-and-run crashes, pileups involving several vehicles, and crashes with uninsured or underinsured drivers. It says the type of crash shapes how fault is proven and which insurance coverage applies.^[2]

How the firm describes a case

The page sets out three steps. The first is a free call with an attorney. In the second, the firm investigates while the evidence is fresh, gathering the police report, phone records, black box data, witness statements and footage from cameras and dash cams, and it brings in accident reconstruction experts when fault is disputed. In the third, it pursues the full value of the claim through settlement or trial.^[2]

According to the firm, a claim cannot be valued until the injured person's treatment has run its course. It then sends the insurer a documented demand based on the medical records and losses, and the page describes the categories it claims as medical bills and future care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and property damage and other out-of-pocket costs. It says the firm works with economists to value lost earnings.^[2]

Advice the firm gives after a crash

The page tells people to get medical care and follow the treatment plan, keep every bill and record, photograph the crash scene if they can, avoid giving the other side a recorded statement and sign nothing before a lawyer reads it.^[2]

Published motor vehicle results

Most of the thirty entries on the firm's results page are settlements of motor vehicle claims in metro Atlanta counties. Results the firm describes in more detail include the following.^[4]

Fees as the firm states them

The firm states that it takes car accident cases on a contingency fee, a percentage of the recovery agreed in writing before work begins, that the first consultation is free, and that a client who recovers nothing owes nothing. Its home page adds that the firm advances case expenses such as filing fees, medical records and expert witnesses.^[2][1]
