Let our team review the circumstances surrounding your accident and advise you of your options.

Defending Against Liability in Auto Claims

In any automobile negligence case, the plaintiff bears the burden of proving that the defendant breached a duty of care and caused the alleged harm. Our role as defense counsel is to challenge these allegations through a careful examination of the facts, accident dynamics, and the legal standards governing negligence.

We begin by conducting a thorough investigation. This usually involves analyzing accident reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, and vehicle data. We look for any factors that might help us discover who was ultimately responsible for the accident. This early and detailed review allows us to develop an effective defense strategy and anticipate the plaintiff’s arguments.

Strategic Case Management and Resolution

Automobile negligence cases vary widely in scope. Some involve bodily injuries for a single driver, while others can span multiple vehicles with numerous injuries and personal property loss claims. Regardless of the circumstances, we approach each case with the same level of preparation and attention to detail.

When appropriate, we pursue early resolution through direct negotiation, mediation, or dispositive motions. If a case must proceed to trial, our attorneys are seasoned litigators with experience presenting persuasive defenses to judges and juries throughout Georgia. We also advise our clients and insurance partners on the cost-benefit considerations of litigation versus settlement and ensure they have the information needed to make informed decisions.

Managing Claims Involving Serious Injury or Death

There are few claims more complex than those involving severe or even fatal injuries. The demands in these cases are high, given the life-altering consequences of a catastrophic injury. We often face litigation that involves claims for extensive medical bills and years of potential lost wages, among other things. We are at our best when the stakes are high.
