• Tractor Trailer Accidents:  Our flagship page for 18 wheeler wrecks in Georgia.  You will find valuable information here to help you pick a law firm and know how to proceed.
• Motorcycle Accidents:  Given the fact that their are no airbags, seat belts, or anything but a helmet, these accidents create some of the most serious injuries.  Working quickly and identifying all of the possible insurance policies is a must.  If time gets between you and your claim, you may be out money.  You might even need to call a bankruptcy firm to get you out of debt.
• Car Accidents:  The old tried and true.  The information here is similar to motorcycle and tractor trailer accidents.  You must contact an attorney because the insurance is working full speed with their adjusters and lawyers to keep you from getting anywhere near a fair settlement.
• Drunk Driving Accidents:  These are the worst because the other party saw the dangers and did not care about your health.  The accident could have been the result of drinking alcohol, smoking pot, doing cocaine, or other drugs.  These drugs impair the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle in a safe manner.  If the other driver was intoxicated, it adds significant value to your case.  It also opens up the possibility of a punitive damages lawsuit.
• Wrongful Death Cases:  On this page you will find information on what to do if a loved one was killed because of someone else.  The laws in Georgia are very strict and operate by statute.  This page will go over some of the information needed to follow and how to pick a wrongful death lawyer in Georgia.

Georgia Car Accident Lawyer for Stockbridge, McDonough, Jonesboro, Jackson, Griffin, Forsyth, Locust Grove and Monticello, Georgia.

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.

It is a sad day in Georgia.  Two children died in a car accident today on the way to school in Rockdale County, Georgia.  The driver of the car was a high school senior and his little sister.  The young boy was 18 years old.  His name was Karl Michael Anschutz.   She was only 14 years old.  Her name was Laura Anschutz.  The young boy was on the way to Heritage High School, and she was on the way to Davis Middle School.

It is believed that while on the way to school their car must have crossed the yellow line.  As the car crossed the yellow line, a truck was coming from the opposite direction.  It is believed the young boy swerved back into lane, went off the road, and then over-corrected.  This made is car go back into the lane of oncoming traffic.  The driver of the truck, was a male, and was injured.  He was taken to the hospital and later released.  It is unknown the extent of his injuries.

I wish the family of these children my condolences.  The family must be going through a lot.  If you know this family send them your love and prayers.

The Law Office of Joseph P. McClelland handles car accidents, auto accidents, tractor trailer accidents, car wrecks, biking injuries, pedestrian injuries and other negligence cases in McDonough, Henry County; Jackson, Butts County; Griffin, Spalding County; and Monticello, Jasper County, Georgia.

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.

The Law Office of Joseph P. McClelland handles all types of personal injury cases such as car accidents, premises liability, worker’s compensation, intentional torts and general negligence. Contact my office at 770-775-0938.

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.
