    Nearly half of all fractures sustained by adults are fractures of the arm. Commonly referred to as a "broken arm," the injury can refer to a break or crack in the humerus, radius, or ulna bones in the arm. Regardless of the location of a fracture, most broken arms result from one of two causes: falls or direct trauma. One of the most common occurrences of direct trauma is a car accident. If you have been involved in a car accident in which you experienced severe pain, swelling, obvious differences between the injured arm and the other, lack of mobility, and/ or some loss of feeling, you should consult a medical professional immediately. If you have a broken arm as a result of an accident that was not your fault, call 770-577-3020 for a free consultation.

  • Need Attorney for Broken Leg Injury from Car Accident   
    Although there are many possible causes of a broken leg, one of the most common causes of a broken, or fractured, leg is a car accident. A fracture of any one of the bones in the leg occurs when more pressure, impact, or force is applied to the bone than it can endure. As a result, the bone breaks, splinters, or splits. Often the impact of a serious or even minor car accident or work-related injury can result in a broken bone. Whether you have a fractured femur (the bone located above the knee), fractured tibia (located below the knee), fractured fibula (also below the knee), or a combination of fractures, it is important to know the courses of action for healing of your injury. Our law firm handles serious accident cases such as broken leg cases. If you have sustained a fracture due to a car accident or were injured at work, call us at 770-577-3020 for a free consultation.
  • Car Accidents Found As Leading Cause of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Since driving has become a daily necessity for most people, treatment for the disorder is essential in order for car accident victims to return to vehicles as drivers or passengers without "experiencing severe anxiety."

  • Symptoms of Brain Injury   
    Since your brain sends signals to the rest of your body to function properly (including the way you move, think, feel, and act), symptoms of a brain injury can vary from cognitive to more physical types. Often appearing soon after a trauma or blow to the head, many symptoms of brain injuries exist in noticeable ways. On the other hand, some cases of brain injury result in more subtle symptoms, making it difficult even for the injured person to notice the warning signs of brain injury. If you have suffered a brain injury due to an accident that was no fault of your own, call 770-577-3020 for a free consultation and evaluation of your case.
  • Brain Injuries   
    Like a fingerprint, every brain is different. Brain injuries can be just as unique. They can be severe or mild, permanent or temporary, sudden or develop some time after a trauma. An individual with a brain injury may not realize that he/she has one or may ignore the damage that can be caused by a concussion, a blow from a trauma or accident, or even from the heat. Brain injuries are also commonly referred to as Traumatic Brain Injuries, recognizing the fact that many brain injuries are the result of a trauma or an accident in which the head or brain receives an impact, such as during a car accident. The brain, however, does not need to be struck in order to suffer damage. If you believe there is the possibility that you have suffered brain damage, and that it is due to the actions of another, call our office at (770)-577-3020 for a free analysis of your case.

Some individuals will also experience other problems such as pain, respiratory and heart problems, pressure sores, or spasticity and scoliosis.
