We all know that Atlanta Car Accident Attorneys are all over the place.  Just open the phone book and pick a page.  There they are by the thousands.  So, how do you choose the right one.  There are many articles on this site about car accidents and laws, but none on how to pick an Atlanta injury attorney.

Train Hits Truck

Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting a recent accident in the news with a “train hits truck” headline.  It involves both Clayton County and Dekalb County, but does not include a car chase.  Well, it is because it has the match up of a train versus a truck.
We all have had the arms of the train tracks go down and not see a train.  Growing up in rural areas, this would happen all the time.  Maybe someone or a kid was playing on the tracks setting it off.  Who knows?  But, if and when a train hits a truck, I do [...]

Memorial Day Weekend Accident Statistics

This is a legal post from the Decatur Car Accident Lawyer.
Accidents happen everyday.  Accidents happen every weekend, but some weekends are different than others.  One such weekend is the Memorial Day weekend.
Already this weekend, two people have died in vehicle collisions.  In addition, over 300 people have been injured in these accidents.  But that is only part of the story.  As of Saturday night, there were 1,263 crashes.  Since Monday is the big day, let’s hope that these accident statistics stay low.  Please be safe, don’t drink, watch for drunk drivers, wear your seat belts, and don’t stay out too [...]

Car Accident Mediation

car accident mediation

This is an article about mediation from the Georgia Car Accident Lawyer.  Think of a friendly, helpful judge that just wants to wrap things up and go home.  However, that judge really wants you to feel like you made the decision to meet in the middle or at an acceptable position.  Mediators, usually retired judges or accident attorneys, have seen auto accident cases like ours before.  They probably litigated some.  They have a good understanding of the issues of causation and damages, personalities, attorneys, the county where the case is held, and much more.
Mediation of an injury claim starts off [...]

Courthouse to Be Less Racist

Jackson, Georgia Courthouse

Usually, these blog posts are about being a personal injury lawyer in Georgia, car accidents in Atlanta, Marietta, Decatur, McDonough, Macon, ect., but today is different.  I will write about something that is not about personal injury attorney ideas and laws.  A recent law related article got my attention and created the motivation to the write this article. As an Atlanta car injury lawyer, I know that courthouses are neutral places, and such behavior is an overt articulation of an imbalance of justice in that courtroom.
Terrible news for the racists.  The Adams County courthouse in Nebraska is removing a degrading photo [...]
