Motor Vehicle Accidents

Perhaps the most commonly known type of personal injury case arises out of a motor vehicle collision, which can involve everything from:

• Rear-end collisions: These types of accidents occur when one vehicle collides into the back of another vehicle, often due to distracted driving.  Generally, these are “clear liability” cases because driving laws prohibit “following too closely.” However, we have experience with cases where the at-fault driver blames the front care for stopping too quickly.  The majority of the time, this is not a legitimate defense, and we have experience overcoming such arguments.  
• T-bone collisions: T-bone collisions happen when one vehicle hits another on the side, often at intersections or when one vehicle fails to yield while making a left turn.  Many t-bone collisions are disputed, and we have handled many disputed liability cases successfully.
• Head-on collisions: These types of accidents occur when two vehicles collide head-on, often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities.  These cases often involve a drunk or distracted driver, driving at reckless speeds, or sometimes even faulty vehicles and tires. 
• Pedestrian accidents:  Pedestrian accidents involving trucks or cars hitting a person walking can result in catastrophic injuries or even death.  Pedestrians generally have the right of way in crosswalks, and, in all situations, drivers owe a duty to act with the utmost care around pedestrians.
• Bicycle accidents:  Bicycle accidents involving trucks or cars hitting bicyclists are unique cases that often involve bad injuries or even death.  In Atlanta, where the main mode of transportation is driving a car and bike lanes are rare, cyclists are at-risk for being involved in bad crashes. 
• Trucking accidents:  Commercial tractor trailers navigate Atlanta’s major highways, such as Interstate 285, Interstate 85, Interstate 75 and Georgia 400, frequently and can result in frightening accidents.  Making claims against tractor trailer companies and their drivers requires attorneys who are familiar with the nuances of truck driver rules and regulations, which differ from the duties and responsibilities of a regular driver. 
• Motorcycle accidents:  Like bicycle accidents, motorcycle accidents can also be catastrophic, given that motorcyclists are more vulnerable when they are hit by cars and trucks. 

The Davis Injury Firm has successfully handled numerous motor vehicle accidents, understands the nuances of Georgia law as it relates to each type of accident, and recovered millions of dollars in compensation for injured clients. 

DUI and Hit & Run Accident Cases

Other types of motor vehicle collisions include special circumstances, such as an at-fault driver who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash.  Similarly, “hit & run” accidents involve a driver who causes a crash and then leaves the scene of the wreck.  Oftentimes, a DUI driver may leave the scene of an accident in order to avoid being arrested. 

Georgia law allows a claimant who is injured under such circumstances to seek “punitive damages” or monetary awards designed to punish the wrongdoer.

The attorneys at the Davis Injury Firm not only have experience handling these nuanced cases but also have a firm understanding of Georgia law as it relates to DUI and hit and run accident cases.

Negligent Security Cases

Under Georgia law, people who are killed or injured on a property due to lack of security may recover compensation.  An example of a negligent security case is where a person is shot in an apartment complex that is known to be dangerous but lacks basic security such as fencing, working security gates, security patrol, lighting, or security cameras. 

Even if a third party criminal commits a crime such as an assault, rape, or shooting, the property owner can be held liable under Georgia law for knowingly failing to keep the property safe. 

Negligent security cases are under the umbrella of premises liability law in Georgia.  Proving a negligent security case requires showing that the property owner knew about dangerous crimes occurring on the property and failed to take reasonable measures to prevent it. 

In many cases, property and business owners are more focused on the bottom line than customer or tenant safety.  Thus, it is not uncommon for such property owners to cut costs on security measures to protect visitors and tenants.  The expense of hiring security officers or repairing broken gates can be significant.  Unfortunately, many property owners are owned by large investment corporations solely focused on profits and not safety.

The Davis Injury Firm lawyers have successfully handled complex premises liability cases, which require not only experience and legal expertise but also diligent investigation to preserve important evidence about these types of cases.

Slip & Fall Cases

Business owners in Georgia can be held liable for injuries caused by slip and falls.  Common places where we see slip and fall injuries include the airports, retail establishments, grocery stores, and gas stations.  These incidents normally involve spilled liquids or hazardous items or conditions in high traffic areas and can result in significant injuries such as fractures, broken bones, or back injuries that require surgery. 

Slip and fall cases also fall under the parameters of premises liability law in Georgia and can be quite difficult to prove.  The majority of slip and fall cases require substantial amounts of litigation in order to be resolved because Georgia law makes it more difficult for claimants to bring a slip and fall case. 

Proving a slip and fall requires showing that the customer or visitor did not know about the hazardous condition, that the business or property owner knew or should have known about the hazardous condition, and that the business or property owner failed to take reasonable measures (such as regular inspections) to ensure that the property was safe.  The business owner is not required to guarantee a visitor or customer’s safety but is only required to act reasonably. 

It is important for an experienced litigation lawyer to be involved in these types of cases and to conduct thorough investigations as early as possible to preserve key evidence. 

The Davis Injury Firm has successfully navigated complicated slip and fall cases, including airport injury cases, retail slip & fall cases, falling object cases, construction slip & fall cases, grocery store slip & fall cases, and gas station slip & fall cases, and have obtained maximal results for our clients.

Brain Injury Cases

All types of accidents can cause a brain injury, from a car accident to a falling object, but all attorneys are not experienced in handling cases involving traumatic brain injury or post-concussive injuries.

When a person falls and hits their head, or an object falls on someone, it can cause a traumatic brain injury.  Even where a person does not hit their head in a car wreck, the movement of the head back and forth can cause a head injury.  Immediate signs of a possible brain injury include losing consciousness or becoming dazed and confused, vomiting, confusion, headache, amnesia, or balance problems. 

Long-term post-concussive symptoms also include confusion, memory loss, dizziness, balance problems, headaches, sensitivity to light, ringing in the ears, insomnia, and increased irritability and emotional outbursts.  People who suffer from these types of head injuries should seek care from a neurologist; neurologists can order brain imaging, vestibular therapy, cognitive therapy, prescribe medications, and monitor concussions. 

In the context of a personal injury case, it is important to retain an attorney who is familiar with the symptoms of a brain injury, how to prove that an accident caused such an injury, and how to pursue the claim in court. 

It is difficult to show that someone has a brain injury because that person looks normal but has significant changes in behavior and symptoms that cannot be seen. Thus, having an experienced lawyer is an important key to maximizing compensation for traumatic brain injury cases.

The Davis Injury Firm has successfully handled all types of cases involving brain injuries, including car and truck accidents, slip and falls, and falling object cases.
