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.

Serious Accidents & 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:

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.

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.

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.

Wrongful Death & 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.

Drunk Driving Accidents:

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.

Worker's Compensation:

Georgia’s Worker’s 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 16 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.

Medical Malpractice:

Being injured by the hands of a doctor is an awful experience. At Murphy & Associates we fight for the injured to hold doctors liable for their mistakes. Medical malpractice cases can be complex and require an attorney with courtroom experience who can explain to the jury exactly what your doctor did wrong. We pride ourselves on holding doctors and hospitals responsible for their negligence and win compensation for your medical bills and pain and suffering.

Nursing Home Negligence & Elder Care Abuse:

Due to the multi-billion dollar business the nursing home industry has become, some facilities have valued profit-making more than providing proper care for nursing home residents. Elder abuse can lead to falls that cause broken bones, malnutrition and dehydration, injury caused by residents able to wander off their nursing home properties, and even death. If you have witnessed the harmful and sometimes devastating effects of nursing home negligence, Murphy & Associates is experienced and prepared to help you receive maximum compensation.
