Terrible news for the racists.  The Adams County courthouse in Nebraska is removing a degrading photo of the President of United States of America, Barack Obama.  The photo is a black and white image of the president smoking a cigarette in his youth hung beside the current governor.  County Supervisor Eldon Orthmann is the racist who actually had the picture matted, framed, and put it on the wall.

They are now taking it down after someone complained enough to make them take it down.  The next question is how will his voters react?

When you need a Georgia tractor trailer accident lawyer for Atlanta, Marietta, McDonough or Jackson, you should contact an attorney right now.  There are laws in Georgia limiting the amount of time you have to file your lawsuit called statute of limitations.  There are also time limits dealing with notifying certain insurance companies to be able to recover full compensation from your Atlanta, Marietta, McDonough or Jackson personal injury lawsuit. You should chose a Georgia lawyer that has experience dealing with insurance companies on a daily basis.  If the accident was in Atlanta or McDonough, the Georgia laws are the same.  The same applies if the personal injury claim arose in Macon or Marietta or anywhere in Georgia.  Our law firm will represent you to our fullest to provide full compensation under the law for your injuries.

The police officer describes the women driving the SUV as a white woman.  She is in her 20′s with blond hair.  Her hair is curly and goes to the shoulder.  Henry County police are still looking for the women who hit someone with her car.

The driver appears to be liable for any and all damages for the pedestrian.  The injured person can recover lost wages, pain and suffering, medical and hospital bills, and damages for future medical bills and suffering.  Also, in a situation like this, punitive damages might be available.

The Court held that the Constitution guarantees a right to a jury trial.  The concept is that what the jury determines is how we administer justice. (Back in the day, the plaintiff and defendant will have fight, and who won must have been right because, it was believed that the God’s hand would strike the fatal blow.)

The ruling was based on a medical malpractice case that returned a verdict of punitive damages in excess of the $250,000 punitive damages cap.  The case went through the court system to the Georgia Supreme Court.  The Court reasoned that if the legislature could come up the number $250,000, then why could they not come up with the number $1 or $10,000.  This was important to the Court that the jury make the determination.  The Court reasoned that ”the law clearly nullifies the jury’s findings of fact regarding damages and thereby undermines the jury’s basic function,” Chief Justice Hunstein wrote.

The fact that the law permits full recovery of noneconomic damages up to the “significant amount” of $350,000 is not sufficient to make it constitutional. If the Legislature may cap awards at $350,000, then it could also cap the recovery at some other figure, “perhaps $50,000, or $1,000, or even $1,” the court said.

“The very existence of the caps, in any amount, is violative of the right to trial by jury,” the decision states.

The other side failed to persuasively argue that allowing a judge to reduce a jury ward is substantially the same thing.  The Court disagreed, holding that the judge’s use is limited and  the “judicial remittitur is a carefully circumscribed power, the exercise of which is authorized only in the limited circumstance.”

The ruling is to be applied retroactively.  This is a huge thing for all claimants and plaintiff’s attorneys.

LOCUST GROVE, GEORGIA FACTS:

The city of Locust Grove is located in Henry County, Georgia.  Locust Grove got its name from a grove of locust trees in town. Locust Grove started off fairly small by stretching ¼ mile in every direction from the train depot.  The city has a cute downtown area with old shops and the classic railroad running along Highway 23/42.

The city even had a college, the Locust Grove Institute, which was one of the first schools in Georgia to be accredited by the Association of Schools and Colleges of the Southern States.  The school later closed.  The City of Locust Grove later purchased the building.  The building was restored for the various City Government offices which is now the Locust Grove Municipal Complex. Business and shopping also thrives with Locust Grove’s Tanger Outlet Mall and other industries in Henry County.

You can try to handle your own case, but don’t.  Do you know what your case is worth?  Is that not why you came to this website right now?  You are looking for information. I applaud that.  But, you would not want me doing your job.  Why?  You took time to develop your skills and ability.  It would take me time to get it down and even more time to be good at it.  The same goes with my job.  Let me be your Georgia car accident attorney, and do it well for you.  I regularly negotiate personal injury and car accident claims in my office.  I do them myself.  I do not have a paralegal handle your case, I do.  One call will not get you all, but that is just logical sense.  If I only negotiated once, and took their first offer, I would stink.  Plain and simple.  It takes time to get to a proper settlement.  Sometimes, it requires filing suit and proceeding with litigation.  Because I can do this, and you cannot, why would they ever make you a non-insulting offer.  You can’t do anything but complain.  I will sue.
