Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Georgia
Garcia Sheppard is the personal injury lawyer Georgia residents trust to fight for their recovery. Our team handles a range of claims involving serious injuries and preventable accidents. We help clients understand their rights, establish liability, and pursue compensation for their losses.
Georgia allows injured car accident victims to recover damages when they are less than 50% at fault for the accident that caused their injuries. Our car accident lawyers will investigate the crash, address disputes over liability, and pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.
Truck accident claims usually involve multiple responsible parties. Our truck accident lawyers will investigate the crash and identify the parties that may be liable for your injuries, including the driver, trucking company, contractor, or vehicle owner.
Motorcycle claims often require strong evidence of fault, injuries, and damages, especially when an insurer tries to blame the rider. Our motorcycle accident lawyers protect your interests and challenge unfair attempts to shift responsibility.
When negligence causes a fatal accident, eligible surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Our wrongful death lawyers will explain your legal options and help your family seek accountability and compensation.
Georgia property owners generally have a duty to use ordinary care to keep their premises and approaches safe for invited visitors. Slip and fall claims at places like shopping centers, apartment complexes, and construction sites often depend on whether the owner knew or should have known about a dangerous condition the injured person did not.
Inadequate security at an apartment complex, parking area, hotel, or commercial property can sometimes contribute to preventable injuries caused by criminal activity. Garcia Sheppard handles negligent security cases involving property owners who may have failed to take reasonable security measures.
Georgia law may hold a dog owner liable when the owner knew or should have known the animal was dangerous. In certain circumstances, the same is true when the dog was allowed to roam in violation of an applicable ordinance. Our dog bite lawyers will investigate the circumstances of the attack and determine whether the owner may be liable.
Whether you were hit in a crosswalk, at an intersection, in a parking lot, or along a roadway, a pedestrian car accident lawyer protects your rights and pursues the compensation you deserve. The most serious cases can lead to lifelong disabilities, lost earning capacity, and ongoing care.
Garcia Sheppard also represents people injured in other preventable accidents, including drowning injury claims and rideshare accidents. We evaluate the circumstances of each injury to identify potentially responsible parties and determine the options available to pursue compensation. View our personal injury practice areas.
