YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT! This is a question that Georgia employment attorneys are best qualified to answer. But your post mentioned violent confrontation and we are now in a weekend. I felt the matter could not wait until Monday morning. You would not be helping your mother AND you would likely... View More

Georgia law treats situations involving nonconsensual photography in private spaces very seriously. Under O.C.G.A. § 16-11-62, it is generally unlawful for anyone to photograph or record another person in a private place—such as a bedroom—without that person’s consent. Because a bedroom is...

You're in a difficulty situation, legally speaking, because your injury is a hernia. Hernia cases, for whatever ridiculous reason, were singled out by the Georgia legislature long ago, and they are singularly difficult to prove.

OCGA 34-9-266 states:

"In all claims for... View More

I don't think you have a strong case. That's only from a LEGAL standpoint. From a PERSONAL standpoint, I feel sympathy for what your son and family went through. However, from a PRACTICAL standpoint, I believe law firms could be reluctant to take such a case on a contingency basis because... View More

I'm sorry for your injury. What you experienced is very serious in terms of injury. The reluctance on the part of attorneys you suspect could stem from assessing your condition on arrival - it's possible attorneys feel that could be open to conflicting testimony or observations. But... View More

A Georgia attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for almost two weeks. I'm sorry this happened to you. You ask what steps you can take. You could reach out to Georgia attorneys to try to set up a free initial consult. If you have the metal piece, it would be helpful for... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. I'm very sorry about your accident. It would be difficult for anyone here to guess whether you have a case. If attorneys did consider the matter, the saw would need to be carefully examined. You could... View More

The reduction in your lien will be based on your settlement, where Medicare generally gives the claimant a greater reduction in the final lien figure if the injury award in lower. Why are the bills so high? That could be anyone's guess - surgery, lengthy rehab, extensive diagnostic testing. If... View More

It is very difficult to answer how much you will net from your settlement without more information.

Medicare pays medical care providers according to a fee schedule. That fee schedule, generally speaking, results in Medicare paying the providers somewhere in the 10-20% range of what the... View More

Georgia has a two year statute of limitations. That means if your prior counsel did not file suit prior to withdrawing, suit MUST be filed by August 8, 2025 or your claim will be forever barred. There is no way to extend the statute of limitations. It exists as a matter of law.

Under Georgia law, for an injury to a child under the age of 7, there are two claims. One is the parental claim for medical expenses through age 18. This claim must be filed in court within two years of the date of birth. The child also has a claim for medical expenses after age 18, pain and... View More

Legally, if what you posted is factually accurate and can be proven true, it likely isn’t defamation. Truth is a complete defense. That said, just because someone can file a lawsuit doesn’t mean it has merit. People can threaten legal action for many reasons, including embarrassment or... View More

You were stopped when the collision occurred? Yet you were mailed a ticket for failing to maintain your lane? Something is missing from the facts here. You should take the information to the Court and present it to the judge and see what he makes of all of this. Impossible to determine his... View More

I'm very sorry for your loss. No family should have to deal with insurance complications while grieving, especially after decades of faithfully paid premiums. If your mother had life insurance coverage through her employer for over 23 years and the policy was canceled without clear notice... View More

Until you consult with Georgia attorneys who could advise definitively on state-specific vehicle & traffic law and DOT regs, the short answer in most jurisdictions is that it would depend on context. That would mean evaluating the type of road, where you were located, where the other vehicle... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week, and you need to make a decision and take action. I'm sorry about your accident. In most places, exchange of basic identification and insurance information is required and standard procedure for matters involving... View More

I'm very sorry for your child's injuries. Something like this could open the door to various different arguments. An attorney might argue they believed parents would have followed up in obtaining their own medical records if they were present at examination and actively involved following... View More

I'm very sorry to hear about your child's injury and the delay in communication. When a lawyer fails to promptly inform a client of critical medical findings—especially something as serious as a documented brain injury—it raises serious concerns about competence and diligence.... View More

Assuming the at-fault driver has tendered his limits and you signed a limited release with the driver, you should hire a lawyer sooner rather than later to pursue a UM claim with your insurance company, as they may try to argue that they did not receive timely notice of the accident.

Yes, assuming you have applicable uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, you may pursue a UM claim. I must warn you, however, that UM is one of the most complicated areas of personal injury law. One false step and you may inadvertently fall into a pitfall and thereby foreclose your ability to recover... View More
