You were hurt.
You deserve to be
made whole.

The insurance company is not on your side.

The insurance company calling you the day after the wreck is not trying to help you. They are trying to settle your case fast and cheap, before you understand what your case is worth and before you know the full extent of your injuries.

You may be entitled to far more than just your medical bills and the cost of fixing your car. You may be entitled to:

• Lost wages for time missed at work — or for the loss of your job altogether
• Loss of enjoyment of life — the things you used to do that you can't do anymore (raising and playing with your kids, sports, exercise, even simply walking to the kitchen without pain)
• Pain and suffering
• Future medical care — surgeries, therapy, medication that you will need for years
• Loss of consortium — your spouse may be entitled to damages for the loss of your services in your family household and in your marriage
• Permanent impairment if a doctor finds your injuries left you with lasting limitations

Cases I handle.

How it works.

1. Free consultation. Call me. Tell me what happened. No cost, no obligation.
2. Investigation. I gather the police report, photos, witness statements, and medical records. I find out what insurance is available — sometimes there is more coverage than the other side wants you to know about.
3. Treatment. You focus on getting better. I handle the rest. I will help you find doctors if you do not have one.
4. Demand. Once your treatment is complete or stable, I send a detailed demand to the insurance carrier laying out your damages and what your case is worth.
5. Negotiation — or lawsuit. Most cases settle. The ones that do not settle, we file. I prepare every case as if it will go to trial because the cases that settle fairly are the ones where the other side knows you are ready.
6. Resolution. When the case is over, I make sure the medical liens are properly handled and you keep as much of your settlement as the law allows.

Fees.

Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. That means there is no fee unless we recover money for you. If we do recover, the fee is a percentage of the recovery. I will explain it clearly before you ever sign anything.

The time limit.

Tennessee generally requires a personal injury lawsuit to be filed within one year of the injury. Georgia gives you two. There are exceptions and complications. Do not wait until the deadline is close — evidence disappears, witnesses move, and your bargaining position weakens with every month.
