Boy Toyota really messed up.  Always admit your mistake, take it on the chin and live another day.  That is my advice for Toyota or any car company faced with a recall.  People are being injured all over the county.  Some of the people who have been injured are the drivers themselves.  However, other drivers out there are also at danger of an injury.  Many of those cars are probably zooming around Atlanta, Decatur and McDonough as we speak.  If you know someone with one of the recalled vehicles, beg them to take them in before they run over the both of us.

Today, it is my understanding that several people have died from these faulty cars, although I have not heard of anyone being hurt in Atlanta or Georgia for that matter.  If you have been in a car accident due to the negligence of another driver or because faulty equipment in your car, then you should contact an Atlanta personal injury lawyer to help you out.

When part of a car malfunctions, the case for the driver of the car is a product liability lawsuit because one would be alleging that the manufacturer of the car made some mistakes that resulted in your injury from driving the car.

Personal Injury Lawyer – Auto Accident Lawyer for McDonough, Griffin, Monticello, and Jackson

Representing clients in Henry County, Butts County, Jasper County, and Spalding County

1.  Start a fight.  What is the best kind?  How about a dagger in back?  How about some name calling?  The best time to get someone to not sign paperwork is right when they are about to sign it.

2.  Want something you can replace.  You really want the bed, trust me…and the 18 inch black and white TV.  Dig in your heels.  Turn this divorce into a contested one and let the judge decide who gets the microwave.

3.  Be inflexible.  Be insufferable.  You know what they really want, so don’t let them have it.

4.  Don’t be respectful in front of friends and family.  If you loved the person before, so let people get you fired up.  It really helps with the rest of the list.

5.  Let this be your last time to “get even”. Let the only thing they leave the divorce with is your dagger in their back.

Don’t follow this advice and you might be on your way to a sensible, fair divorce.

Georgia Child Support

The guidelines have changed from the past.  The former system used a percentage of the income from the noncustodial parent (that is the parent who gets visitation).

Now, both parents income is used to determine the amount of child support paid to the custodial parent.

We successfully argued that the state policy in question was never consistently applied.  Our research uncovered five or six employees who were not terminated for higher alleged offenses.

Based upon these facts, the earlier decision was overturned and the client will get his back payments and payments into the future.
