Strength, Skill, Heart: A Commitment to Protecting My Clients

After 15 years of representing thousands of individuals in Georgia, I have learned not only how to be a strong advocate for my clients against big corporations and insurance companies but to also address the specific needs and concerns of each client. As a first generation American whose parents sought to live in a country where there are protective laws for its citizens, being a voice for others comes naturally to me, and that deep desire to make sure that the powerful do not bully those with less drives me to work tirelessly and persistently in each and every case, no matter how big or small. I am proud of my commitment not only to aggressively protect my clients, but also to do so with empathy and compassion.

Personal Injury Overview

Personal injury law is an area of law that allows people who have been injured to obtain compensation for their losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, inconvenience, and pain and suffering. The law in Georgia allows a jury to assess what the reasonable amount of compensation should be based on the facts of each case. Most personal injury cases begin with an insurance claim and result in a settlement without ever having to use the court system for resolution. A few cases require lengthy and complex litigation that only get resolved by having a trial. Either way, pursuing a personal injury case requires an attorney to engage in strategic planning, skillful negotiation, and aggressive advocacy when dealing with insurance companies and opposing attorneys in order to obtain what is fair.

The umbrella of personal injury law is vast and can include premises liability, slip and fall cases, negligent security, wrongful death, automobile collisions, trucking accidents, medical malpractice, motorcycle accidents, or bicycle accidents. A plaintiff in a personal injury case is normally the person who has suffered from the harm or loss after being injured. But in the unfortunate case where there is a fatality, the family of the person who is lost may choose to bring a wrongful death suit against the responsible party or parties.

One vital aspect of a personal injury case is medical treatment. Although it seems pretty simple, obtaining the proper and adequate medical treatment in order to substantiate a personal injury case can be quite challenging. Often times, people who are injured have no health insurance or cannot afford medical treatment. Insurance companies tend to use the argument that if there is a gap between the time of the incident that caused the injury and the time of medical treatment, then there must not be an injury. Thus, it is important to seek immediate medical attention when you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence. Or, in the unfortunate case of a wrongful death, the family must obtain an autopsy and medical documentation.

Another important part of a personal injury case is the investigation phase. Whether it be an automobile wreck, trucking accident, or negligent security case, immediately investigating the scene of an accident, talking to eye witnesses, taking photographs, inspecting vehicles, or talking to law enforcement are all vital to preserving evidence in a personal injury case.

As you can see, personal injury cases can often be a complex and involve many moving parts. You need the right attorney to help you work through these issues, aggressively pursue your case, and to provide guidance each step of the way.

5 Things You Should Do to Protect Your Personal Injury Case After Being Injured

Call the police. Whether you have been involved in a motor vehicle collision or been assaulted on an unsafe property, calling the police is often the first step you should take after being injured. Responding authorities usually document what happened based on their investigation, which usually involves talking to witnesses, and observing the scene.. The report is prepared contemporaneously with the incident and is often a key piece of evidence in a personal injury case. Of course, not all cases require calling the police. For example, where someone is injured as a result of medical malpractice or a defective product, calling the police is impractical.
Report the incident. Reporting the incident, whether it be to an insurance company (your own insurance company and the at-fault party’s insurance company) or a property owner, is important to preserving a claim. Of course, this step also depends on the type of case. Keep in mind that when reporting your incident/injuries to an insurance company, you should never agree to give a recorded statement.
Seek medical treatment. No matter the type of injury you suffered or the type of case, timely and consistent medical treatment is vital to preserving evidence of your injury (and, more importantly, to help you get better).
Take photographs. If you are in a place where you can safely take pictures, then you should take photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, or the area where you sustained a slip and fall. Photos can be important to preserving evidence of how the incident occurred.
Get eyewitness contact information. Get eyewitness contact information. If there are witnesses, particularly people who are not related to you or to the party who caused the injury in any way, obtaining their contact information is critical to preserving information about what happened.

"I've used The Davis Injury Firm on two occasions. When presented with the second situation there was never any question in regards to whom I would call. Betty got me through a rough time. When the deck as stacked against me, she somehow found a light at the end of the tunnel. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Betty fought hard for me. She went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm. She did it all for next to nothing. Let's just say, I may not be the most profitable client but I truly must be the most grateful. Because of what she did for me I am now able to get my life back on track.
