Lawrenceville Personal Injury Lawyers

Mills & Hoopes, LLC lawyers represent clients in many different types of personal injury cases. However, the most common cases we handle arise from auto accidents, truck accidents, and slip and fall cases.

• Auto accidents. When you are in a Georgia auto accident, you have two years to file a lawsuit to recover damages. Many auto accident injury claims can be settled out of court through negotiations between the insurance company’s representative and your lawyer.

• Truck accidents. Because the size and weight of large tractor trailers cause tremendous impact during collision, drivers and passengers are often severely injured. Multiple parties may be liable in a truck accident case—the truck driver, trucking company, companies that load cargo, and manufacturers if defective vehicle parts are involved. Identifying sources of compensation can be complicated and require legal help.

• Slip and fall accidents. Slip and fall accidents occur with a higher rate of frequency for people 65 years and older. When dangerous property or building conditions cause a slip and fall accident, such as unmarked wet slippery floors or poorly lit stairways, there may be grounds for a claim. Slip and fall injuries vary in severity from bruises, scrapes, and minor fractures to brain and spinal cord injuries that cause permanent disabilities.

The importance of retaining a personal injury lawyer

Most people do not have the necessary skills to deal successfully with a personal injury claim. Personal injury lawyers can determine liable parties, estimate monetary damages, and negotiate with insurance companies to obtain fair compensation.

Seeking to avoid future medical costs and lost wages, insurance companies typically try to convince an injured individual to settle quickly. Until an injured person with serious injuries reaches maximum medical improvement, it may not be known whether permanent disability is a factor. Quick settlements are often inadequate and leave a claimant with financial burdens.
