Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyer

The personal injury attorneys at Simon Bridgers Spires have litigated thousands of personal injury cases. Our firm is a close-knit organization with a stellar reputation in the industry and the skill set to deliver results in every type of injury case from car accidents to wrongful death cases, from complex trucking cases to arcane insurance coverage issues.

Our team is here to listen to your dilemma and make sure we are doing everything possible to achieve your goals. Have other attorneys turned you down and said there is no case? If the damages are serious, we go the extra mile in detective work and if there is hidden evidence, we will find it. For example, two prior attorneys turned down our 2023 case with a $32.5 million dollar verdict! We see what others don’t.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A GOOD PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IN ATLANTA?

Selecting a good Atlanta personal injury lawyer is indeed an important decision because they will be dealing with one of your biggest transactions, often compared to a house purchase. But this decision may seem complicated due to the lack of understanding in regards to choosing an appropriate lawyer, as well as acquiring knowledge regarding procedures necessary for winning a case. It becomes tragic when it concerns a damaged family member or, even worse, one who passed on. With the array of lawyers out there, it can be difficult to choose the most suitable one.  We know how serious this choice can be, hence aim to help you reduce your worries by providing a guide in the process of selection. We supply an in‑depth legal library for your review thereby allowing you to make a conscious decision by having all the available facts and figures upon which to rely. The fact that on day one we are ready to offer real legal answers serves as another guarantee of the accountability of getting personal injury cases won in Atlanta.

They have expertise in dealing with complicated legal structures and make sure that you are well-represented at all stages of proceedings. Apart from the initial consultation, prospective and actual clients are assured of getting real legal answers when they work with Simon Bridgers Spires. This commitment is not only a pledge but also a guarantee, reassuring you that the matters you raised will be dealt with timely and correctly.

Why You Should Choose Us For Your Personal Injury Case

We have a wide range of knowledge in dealing with clients who have suffered various kinds of injuries due to the negligence of someone else. We understand that no two accidents are alike, yet we put the same degree of expertise and effort into handling each case. Our practice areas of personal injury include:

Car accidents: Georgia’s fault laws and tort liability system make it relatively simple, but recovering the compensation that you think you should get after a car accident is not always an easy task. Negotiating with an insurance adjuster is only one preparation our Atlanta car accident lawyer assists you with in making another step forward toward proving fault.

Dog bite claims: Georgia has strict liability for dog bites, and an owner of a dog who bites people must be held responsible. With our assistance, you can be certain to establish liability and secure full compensation.

Wrongful death: There are not many things worse than losing someone you love, especially if that death came at a time when it was clearly foreseeable and unnecessary. Since wrongful acts can sometimes result in death, Georgia’s law provides the representatives of an individual who has been killed to bring an action on their behalf.

Pedestrian and bicycle accidents: The result of a collision between a pedestrian or cyclist and a motor vehicle can be serious if not fatal. We assist victims of such tragedies with the compensation they need for medical expenses and other financial and humanitarian considerations.

Even if you are injured in an accident not listed above and feel that someone else was responsible, please call our Atlanta personal injury lawyer for a free consultation. We can assist in determining whether or not to pursue your claim in whatever circumstances you might find yourself in to potentially obtain the maximum compensation you deserve.

Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers

We listen to your concerns and make sure you know all of the options before you make a decision on your case.

Comparative Negligence Laws In Atlanta, GA

Another law to be aware of when filing a personal injury claim in Atlanta is comparative negligence. In Georgia, damages may not be claimed if the claimant is determined to be more than 49 percent responsible for an accident. If a claimant is shown to be less than 51 percent at fault, then he or she can collect compensation for personal injury. Even so, the defendant listed in their suit will only be liable for damages equal to that percentage. For instance, in one case involving personal injury from a fall arising out of a slip and fall incident, the person affected was found only 40 percent at fault.

Types Of Compensation Recoverable In A Personal Injury Case

In cases where compensation for injuries helps to let people carry on with their lives, our Atlanta personal injury lawyers at Simon Bridgers Spires will fight hard to collect the maximum amount possible. You have the right to seek compensation for all losses, including:

  • Economic damages: Damages for your actual financial losses such as property damage, lost wages and medical expenses
  • Noneconomic damages: losses that you can't put a price tag on--pain and suffering, disability, loss of your quality of life, etc.

Punitive damages may also be awarded in appropriate cases. Punitive damages are those that aim to punish the defendant in a case for willful misconduct, malice or fraud. In Georgia, punitive damages have been limited to $250,000 under Section 51-8 of the Code.

Is It Really Necessary That I Have A Personal Injury Lawyer?

An experienced personal injury lawyer not only knows legal nuances but also helps to maximize the compensation amount which you are entitled. Their assistance is particularly important in situations of neglect, accidents or disputes in which legal representation greatly increases the likelihood of a positive result. In the end, a personal injury lawyer is critical to getting you the best possible result and help you begin a journey that will hopefully bring with it comfort.

A Few Things To Consider When Deciding To Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer

  • Not sure who is at fault? If you are in an accident that might be caused by someone else, then it is worth discussing the matter with a personal injury attorney. In cases like this, the insurance companies will do their best to shift responsibility onto you. Your attorney can file counterclaims and cross-claims to protect you.
  • Experienced a serious injury or permanent disability? You can't gamble with a lifetime of suffering, pain and bills. One job of a personal injury attorney is to prevent lifelong financial stress.
  • Being denied or have a claim delayed by the insurance company? The insurance companies are well aware that people have no understanding of the complex laws and procedures related to a personal injury claim. Our Atlanta personal injury lawyer can help you in this regard.

So When Do I Need To Call A Personal Injury Attorney?

In a personal injury case, you have the right to act as your own counsel. However, most victims do not possess the training and experience to negotiate with insurance carriers on matters of importance. We have more than 20 years of experience with the law, and we all understand that when things are not fair, defending people versus insurance companies or negligent parties is crucial. Simon Bridgers Spires will explain to you your rights, set a reasonable time frame and approach for bringing the case forward, as well as letting you know about major developments.

Will I Be Speaking With An Attorney Or Someone Else When I Call?

We don’t believe in not talking to our clients directly so when you call, you will speak directly to one of the firm’s three Atlanta personal injury lawyers. Having multiple offices, we have the capability of helping many in the state of Georgia. With strong traditional, ethical, and Christian values, we are very clear when giving you your options before you have to make a decision. Because we care a great deal about our clients you must understand that we are selective about the cases we accept to make sure we are a good fit for each other. We pride ourselves in caring for our clients and are not like most Atlanta personal injury lawyers who will just take any case that comes in the door.
