Personal Injury

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN CATASTROPHIC PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS

Our lawyers put in a lot of work at the beginning of a personal injury case to help our clients obtain the maximum compensation. We interview witnesses immediately, so we can learn everything there is to know about a case before the lawyers for the insurance company start working against your interests. In cases that require accident reconstructionists and other expert witnesses, we make sure to hire those persons as soon as possible so we utilize their opinions in determining the merits of a particular case before we even file a lawsuit.

Truck Accident

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN TRUCK ACCIDENT CLAIMS

Personal injury claims brought as a result of accidents involving trucks and tractor-trailer rigs are different than a lawsuit involving a regular car accident. Large trucks are subject to federal motor carrier regulations and other regulations, which can play a significant role in proving negligence on the part of the trucking company. There are also other claims that may be important in cases involving truck accidents, such as claims against the trucking company for negligent hiring, entrustment, or retention of the driver who caused the wreck as well as claims for negligent inspection, maintenance or repair of the truck. Our lawyers are experienced in handling truck accident claims and have achieved significant success in representation of clients.

Auto Defect & Product Liability

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN AUTO DEFECT & PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS

The attorneys at Daughtery, Crawford, Fuller & Brown, LLP in Columbus, Georgia, are highly experienced in handling product liability cases. Every car accident is different, and while in many cases the injuries sustained in the wreck are caused only by driver negligence, often the injuries were in fact caused by or compounded by a defect in one or both of the vehicles. This can be very important for your financial recovery, since many injuries are caused by product failure. If your car accident involved a fire, explosion, rollover, roof crush, or tire problem, then there is a real possibility that a product defect caused or contributed to the injuries. If so, then you may need someone with experience handling those product defect claims against the manufacturer of the vehicle. Product defect claims are an important part of our firm's practice, and our attorneys have achieved successful results in representation of clients.

Car Accident

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN CAR ACCIDENT CLAIMS

For many people, a car accident case is just a car accident case. At the law firm of Daughtery, Crawford, Fuller & Brown, LLP in Columbus, Georgia, our lawyers dig deeper and give personal attention to each case to maximize the recovery for our clients. We interview witnesses immediately, so we can learn everything there is to know about a case before the lawyers for the insurance company start working against your interests. In cases that require accident reconstructionists and other expert witnesses, we make sure to hire those persons as soon as possible so we utilize their opinions in determining the merits of a particular case before we even file a lawsuit.

Nursing Home Neglect

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN NURSING HOME NEGLECT

One of the most common injuries our lawyers see in nursing home cases is bed sores (sometimes called decubitus ulcers, pressure ulcers, or pressure sores). Bed sores often develop on patients who are bed-ridden or in a wheelchair. If the patient is not moved or repositioned regularly by nursing home staff, bed sores can develop on the patient's heels, elbows, tail bone, buttocks, or other parts of the body. Bed sores are extremely dangerous, difficult to treat the more advanced they become, and can lead to severe infection and even death.

Wrongful Death

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS

When a person is killed due to the negligent or wrongful acts of another, the law provides that the surviving family is entitled to compensation. Wrongful death can happen as the result of negligence in a car or truck accident, a workplace accident, or as a result of an unreasonably dangerous product. While nothing can bring your loved one back, many families bring a civil lawsuit against the individual or company responsible for the deadly accident to make a statement and hopefully help prevent a similar tragedy from happening to another family.

Consumer Fraud/Consumer Class Actions

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN CONSUMER FRAUD CLAIMS/CONSUMER CLASS ACTIONS

When companies defraud innocent consumers, charge excessive fees, break contracts, or violate the law, often times you are not the only victim. Sometimes, the only way fraudulent scams work is by cheating a massive number of consumers out of their money a little bit at a time. The companies figure that a consumer defrauded out of a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars cannot get a lawyer to take on an expensive lawsuit against a big corporation for such a small amount. Our lawyers are highly experienced handling consumer class action lawsuits. We secured the first nationwide adversarial class certification based on state law in the Georgia court system. We've obtained hundreds of millions of dollars of relief for consumers around the country.

Business and Commercial Disputes

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL DISPUTES

Our lawyers have extensive backgrounds handling business and commercial disputes. For example, we've successfully represented the founders of an internet security company in a venture capital dispute against multi-national corporate investors. We routinely represent small businesses and small business owners in commercial and contract disputes. Our lawyers handle all cases, including commercial disputes, on a contingency fee basis.* This means that if we believe in your case, we are willing to cover the cost of prosecuting your claim. Our fee, if we are successful, will be a percentage of any verdict or settlement we obtain for you.

Insurance Disputes

GEORGIA LAWYERS EXPERIENCED IN INSURANCE DISPUTES

Our lawyers are very experienced at representing policyholders in disputes with insurance companies. We handle all kinds of disputes, including denial of homeowner, life, health, disability, or business liability claims without a reasonable basis. Much of our class action work has included claims against insurance companies, for such things as failure to refund premiums as required by law; improperly increasing life insurance premiums in violation of the insurance policy provisions; and charging improper and unauthorized credit card fees for credit protection insurance.
