Latin Law GroupPersonal Injury Attorney Atlanta GA

After a personal injury accident involving a motor vehicle, there are steps that you can take to ensure that you are protected. Follow these steps:

• Do not leave the scene. It is important to call the police so that a police report can be filed. This ensures that the details of any accident are documented accurately by a reliable, unbiased source. Police reports are pivotal in motor vehicle accidents and can often be the most important evidence. Be sure to get a copy of the police report before you leave the scene.

• Document who was in the accident. Be sure that you have the names, phone numbers, addresses, license & license plate numbers and insurance numbers of those involved in the accident. It is not the job of the police to provide this information to you.
• Call 911. If anyone is injured in the accident, call 911 immediately. Never move an injured person as this could cause additional injury. Let the medical professionals do their job upon arrival. If you are injured, allow the medical professionals to assess you and follow their medical advice. Even if you think it unnecessary, a visit to the hospital may help to identify injuries that are masked by the adrenaline rush of the accident.
• Only make statements to the police. Do not admit guilt to the other driver. Answer questions that the police ask honestly.
• Contact your insurance company. It is important to notify your insurance company of the accident as soon as possible. Do NOT discuss the accident with the other party’s insurance company without legal counsel. Do not settle with the other party’s insurance company without legal counsel.

Georgia Code, Title 51, Chapter 5, Section 51-4-1, et seq. allows for families in Georgia to pursue a wrongful death claim under Georgia law. This statute allows for specific family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit for any accident where the person’s death was caused by a wrongful act, an act of negligence or fault of another person or entity.  A wrongful death action can be brought by a surviving spouse, a child,  or a parent, subsequently, if the previous isn’t alive.  If there’s no surviving spouse, child, or parent, the administrator or executor of the deceased may bring an action for wrongful death and hold the amount recovered for the benefit of the deceased’s next of kin.

In Georgia, a family has 2 years to file a wrongful death claim.  A settlement of this claim can significantly relieve the financial burden that an expected death can create.  This can include funeral expenses, medical expenses, living expenses for the victim’s family and more.  

If a loved one has passed away due to a catastrophic injury or wrongful death, contact us at 678-890-5868 so that we can walk beside you through this process.  Grieving is incredibly painful.  We can help.

Broken bones, spinal cord injuries, internal bleeding, brachial plexus injuries and brain injuries are just some of the injuries that can affect a victim of a slip and fall accident.  Some of the best slap stick comedy comes from a slip and fall, but in reality, it’s no laughing matter!  Compensation for a slip and fall can be obtained if you and your attorney can demonstrate the other party’s negligence.  It is very important to take the proper steps if you have been injured in a slip and fall accident.  These include calling a manager, filling out an incident report, seeking medical care and calling Latin Law at 678-890-5868.

Injuries that happen at work and change your life are legitimate reasons for a Workers’ Compensation claim.  Back injuries, breathing problems, eye injuries, bone breaks, sprains, strains and lacerations are some of the most common injuries.  Whether long term or short term recovery is required, financial burdens are created when an employee is injured.  Lost wages and medical bills can often be recovered in legitimate Workers’ Compensation settlements.

Defective products can be dangerous and can cause injury or even death to consumers.  Some of the most likely products to cause injuries are car parts, traffic signs, gasoline cans, medical devices, construction and lawn equipment, baby products and child toys.  The problem is, most people have these items in or around their homes.  

Unfortunately, product liability cases are often difficult to navigate without the help of an experienced Georgia product liability lawyer.  If you’ve been injured because of a faulty or mislabeled product, our experienced product liability lawyers can help navigate the waters of product liability cases.  Manufacturers and corporations have teams of attorneys on their staff.  Shouldn’t you have a professional attorney on yours too?  At The Latin Law Firm, we’re waiting to help you.  Call us today at 678-890-5868.

Did you know that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States? Only cancer and heart disease kill more Americans.
