    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much is my case worth?

    +

    It depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical bills, time off work, and insurance coverage.

    Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?

    +

    Be cautious. Consider speaking with a lawyer first to avoid statements that could harm your claim.

    How long do I have to file?

    +

    Generally 2 years in Georgia, with exceptions. Consult for specific guidance.

    What should I do immediately after an accident?

    +

    Seek immediate medical attention, document the scene, do not admit fault, and contact an attorney as soon as possible.

    Understanding Georgia Personal Injury Laws

    Knowledge of Georgia law is crucial to maximizing your compensation. Here are key legal concepts that affect your case:

    โš–๏ธ Modified Comparative Negligence

    Georgia follows the 50% rule - you can recover damages if you're less than 50% at fault, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.

    ๐Ÿ“‹ Burden of Proof

    We must prove the other party was negligent and that negligence directly caused your injuries and damages.

    ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Damage Caps

    Georgia has no caps on compensatory damages for most personal injury cases, meaning you can pursue full compensation.

    ๐Ÿ’ฐ Punitive Damages

    In cases of especially egregious conduct, you may be eligible for additional punitive damages, though Georgia caps these at $250,000 in most cases.

    Protection Against Insurance Tactics

    Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to minimize payouts - our job is to protect you.

    โš ๏ธ Tactics to Avoid

    • โŒ Quick Offers: Premature settlements before knowing the full extent of your injuries
    • โŒ Recorded Statements: Used to find inconsistencies in your claim
    • โŒ Liability Denial: Blaming you or minimizing their insured's negligence
    • โŒ Delay Tactics: Hoping you'll give up due to financial pressure

    ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ How We Protect You

    • โœ“ All Communication: We handle all conversations with insurers
    • โœ“ Thorough Investigation: We gather evidence to prove liability
    • โœ“ Medical Documentation: We ensure complete medical records
    • โœ“ Trial Preparation: Always prepared to go to court

    ๐Ÿ’ก Important Tip: Never accept a settlement offer without consulting an attorney. Early settlements are often a fraction of what your case is actually worth.

    Evidence We Collect For Your Case

    Building a strong case requires detailed evidence. Here's what we investigate for every client:
    ๐Ÿ“น

    • Compassionate advocacy for injured children and families
    • Free consultation, no fee unless we win
    • Direct attorney access โ€” not a call center
    • We work with maternal-fetal medicine experts

    We work with maternal-fetal medicine experts to determine whether a delayed C-section, mismanaged labor, or improper use of delivery instruments caused your child’s birth injury โ€” and to project the lifetime of care your child may need.

    Bringing a child into the world should be one of the happiest moments of your life โ€” not the beginning of a fight to understand why your baby was hurt. If medical negligence during pregnancy, labor, or delivery harmed your child in Roberta, we help your family get the answers and resources your child needs for life.

    ๐Ÿ“‹ What To Do

    1. Get your baby the appropriate specialist care as soon as possible
    2. Request complete records from the pregnancy, labor, and delivery
    3. Document any developmental concerns as they arise
    4. Get a second opinion from a pediatric specialist
    5. Call us before signing anything from the hospital

    โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

    1How do you prove a birth injury was caused by malpractice?

    We work with maternal-fetal medicine and pediatric experts to review labor and delivery records and establish whether the standard of care was breached and caused the injury.

    2How long do we have to file a birth injury claim in Georgia?

    Georgia generally extends filing deadlines for young children, often until close to the child’s fifth birthday in many circumstances, but it’s important to confirm your child’s specific deadline as soon as possible.

    3What if my child needs lifelong care?

    We work with life-care planners and medical experts to project future therapy, medical, and educational needs so your child’s settlement or verdict reflects their full lifetime of care.
