Settlements & Lawsuits Protecting The Legal Rights of Accident Victims In Georgia State

The physical, emotional, and financial cost of dealing with a serious auto accident injury or workers' compensation claim due to an accident can be enormous. Mounting medical bills, numerous doctor visits and dealing with the insurance company may be overwhelming. The good news is you don't have to walk this road alone. Douglasville attorney James Murphy, and the legal team at the Murphy & Associates, are dedicated to protecting your legal rights and handling your case with personal attention, compassion and aggressive advocacy. We have been successfully representing accident victims in the Metro Atlanta area and across Georgia State for overy 20 years.

We realize that without this accident you would be going about your daily life without interruptions, doctor visits, and the hassles from the insurance company and their adjustors.

You Have Legal Rights. We Can Help.

The good news is that you don't have to navigate the complicated insurance system alone. Did you know that something as simple as not completing an insurance form correctly or innocently misstating a fact to an adjustor could cause your GA car accident claim to be delayed or even denied?

Most people don't fully understand their legal rights after an injury accident, collision or the death of a loved one. Some people may be easily intimidated or confused by insurance adjustors who are focused on denying, delaying, devaluing or defending against your claim so they can pay out as little as possible. But if you hire a personal injury attorney you won't have to speak to the adjustor again. We'll help you understand your legal rights; we'll deal with the adjustor; and we'll fight to make sure your rights are preserved so you are fairly compensated for your losses. Insurance companies will often attempt to settle a claim quickly for an amount that is far less than it is actually worth. Do not give in to the pressure. Know your rights. Speak to an attorney first. Contact us at 770-577-3020.

You may want to begin by learning how to avoid some of the common mistakes that could keep you from getting all of the benefits and compensation you need to return to your normal life.

Car Accidents

Each year, nearly 1,700 Georgians die and another 132,000 are injured in car crashes. James Murphy fights for West Georgia residents who are injured in auto accidents. A car crash can be a traumatic event – causing serious injuries, broken bones, and lasting scars. Auto accidents also take their toll on your wallet with skyrocketing medical bills, time away from work, and the repair or replacement of your car. If you have been injured because of another driver, James Murphy is here to fight for you.

Workers' Compensation

Georgia’s Workers' Compensation system can be very complicated and difficult to understand. If you’ve been hurt at work in Douglasville and need an experienced firm to guide you through the system, you’ve come to the right place. At Murphy & Associates, we bring over 20 years of experience to every case we handle. This experience helps us get you the speedy and fair recovery you deserve for the injuries you have sustained.

Drunk Driving Accidents (DUI)

DUI accidents can result in serious consequences. In the United States, an average of one person dies due to a drunk driving accident every thirty minutes (NHTSA 2006). A driver who chooses to operate a vehicle while intoxicated puts other drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians at-risk on the roads. When we have clients who have been injured or lost loved ones in drunk driving accidents, we work to recover maximum compensation for their injuries or losses, medical bills, pain and suffering, vehicle damage, lost wages, and punitive damages. If you have been injured or lost a loved one because of a drunk driver, call us at 770-577-3020 for free answers to your most pressing questions.

Fatal Accidents

When someone dies as a result of another person or entity’s negligence, carelessness, or recklessness (intentional or unintentional), a wrongful death claim may be filed. Whether the death occurs because of an automobile accident, workplace injury, or instance of nursing home neglect or medical malpractice, a claim for compensation may be a proper response of family members. If you have lost a loved one due to another’s negligence, Murphy & Associates will consult with you for free regarding your case. We are experienced and well-prepared to seek your fair and just settlement and compensation.

Semi Truck Accidents

Lack of sleep and 18 wheels can be a deadly combination. Trucking companies who force their drivers to spend long hours behind the wheel create dangerous conditions on Georgia’s highways. Murphy & Associates have earned a reputation for helping West Georgia residents who have been hurt in collisions with big rigs.

Motorcycle Accidents

Most accidents on the road, including motorcycle accidents, are caused by negligence. Not only are motorcyclists more likely to be involved in accidents than other drivers, but motorcycle accident victims often suffer serious, long-term, or even catastrophic injuries. If you or a family member has been injured in a motorcycle accident, we at Murphy & Associates have experience with this type of claim and have the necessary skills to represent you. Contact us for a FREE consultation.

Distracted Driving Accidents

There are several distractions to keep Georgia drivers from focusing on the highway. Of course texting and driving in Georgia is illegal but difficult to enforce. In recent studies, distracted drivers are known to cause many accidents. Use of cell phones or other telecommunication devices is an increasing problem on Georgia roadways.

Pedestrian Collisions & Bicycle Accidents

Murphy & Associates is experienced in cases of pedestrian collisions, crosswalk accidents, and bicycle accidents. If you have suffered injuries or a loved one has been killed by a negligent automobile or truck driver, you may want to claim compensation for your case. A successful personal injury attorney will prove the serious nature of pedestrian and bicycle accidents, incidents that often result in permanent or catastrophic injury.

Bus, MARTA, & CCT Accidents

Our law firm handles bus, taxi, Cobb Comnunity Transit (CCT) and MARTA accidents in Georgia. If you have been involved in a bus or MARTA accident and suffered injuries as a result, please contact a Douglasville Accident Attorney, at (770) 577-3020. We offer of a FREE consultation with no obligation.

Catastrophic Injuries

Unlike whiplash or fractured bones, serious and catastrophic injuries may last throughout the remainder of their victims’ lifetimes. Whether you suffer from a severe head injury, an amputated limb, or an injury that significantly affects your ability to function, your serious accident or catastrophic injury case will require more care when working toward a settlement to meet your needs. Serious injuries often inhibit brain and motor functions or physical ability in general, and experienced attorney James Murphy will ensure that you are fairly compensated.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Nerve Damage

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 5.3 million Americans need long-term help performing daily activities due to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Affecting one’s thinking, language, emotions, and ability to feel, traumatic brain injury can lead to serious diseases. If you or a family member has suffered from traumatic brain injury caused by an accident or another party’s negligence, Georgia attorney James Murphy can assist you.

Spinal Cord Injuries (Whiplash)

In the United States, about 11,000 individuals per year suffer from spinal cord injuries. Though some sufferers of spinal cord injuries will experience complete (or nearly complete) recovery, others will face more serious and long-lasting effects, including paralysis. At Murphy & Associates, we represent spinal cord injury victims and are dedicated to seeking fair and just compensation for their losses.
