- Traffic ViolationsIf a truck’s brake fails, the result can be devastating. A speeding truck with failed brakes will mow down anything and everything that comes in contact with it. Trucking companies must comply with strict regulatory guidelines regarding trucking equipment maintenance, including brake maintenance. But brake failures still occur. Trucking companies in an attempt to minimize expenses and maximize profits fail to provide regular maintenance. Brake failure can also happen if the driver fails to perform required pre-trip checks.
- Sex CrimesWe understand the feeling of a sexual assault victim. Sexual assault can involve serious injuries and emotional trauma. While the police and law enforcement will bring the attacker to justice, we can help you make the party responsible for the security of the place accountable.

- Hit and RunIn Georgia, all car insurance policies must have uninsured motorist coverage. Unless you rejected it in writing, you should have a minimum amount of coverage. Uninsured motorist coverage in your own auto insurance policy covers your costs from an accident caused by another driver — one who is uninsured, underinsured or cannot be found. Read and understand your auto insurance policy. Uninsured motorist coverage may apply even if you or a member of your household is riding in another car when injured, or is injured in a pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle or hit-and-run accident. It may also apply to any person driving your insured vehicle with your permission. But when you make a claim, the insurance company will do everything possible to deny your claim.
- Workers CompensationIf the electrocution injury happens at the workplace, the employers, contractors, and subcontractors will be held liable. A worked injured by electrocution is entitled to compensation under workers compensation laws regardless of who was at fault. If an electrical equipment causes electrocution injury, the concept of product liability comes into play. A person can also suffer electrocution injury at anytime, anywhere even while walking on the road by coming in contact with a power line. In such cases, the utility company will be liable for negligence.
