Opening Doors to the Truth often calls for ‘sweat equity’ …

“I had a client once who suffered a motorcycle accident by hitting a dog in a residential neighborhood.” Keith says about a difficult case.

“We went out and canvased the neighborhood and interviewed several neighbors.  The key to that case was clearly establishing that the dog, a beautiful golden retriever, was roaming around the neighborhood at will and that everyone knew it.”  KP

“My team and I knocked on more than a few doors to get the facts and get them we did.”  KP

That case ultimately settled with a substantial six figure sum that the client deserved.

“Our client and his wife in that case were and are great people, wonderful folks.  What the client went through was devastating and painful and in my opinion worth more than the ultimate settlement, but there was not enough insurance money to make he and his wife whole so we took what was there, all of it.”  KP

“The same thing had to be done in a recent dog bite case.  It occurred in the owner’s home so we had to canvas the entire neighborhood to determine whether the dog had been a menace.  We learned that not only had he been a menace, he had been terrorizing the neighborhood for some time.” KP

“If you have been injured, give me a call.  My team and if need be, my hand picked association of other experts handle every kind of personal injury litigation.” KP

Some of the types of injury claims include, but are not limited to the following:

• Automobile Accidents – collisions, wrecks
• Trucking accidents – collisions, wrecks
• Motorcycle Wrecks
• Injuries on Premises. Both business and residential
• Dog bite cases
• Products that cause injury

Don’t delay hiring a qualified attorney, the Georgia Statute, OCGA §9-3-33, relating to the time for bringing personal injury actions in court provides that:

“Actions for injuries to the person shall be brought within two years after the right of action accrues, except for injuries to the reputation, which shall be brought within one year after the right of action accrues, and except for actions for injuries to the person involving loss of consortium, which shall be brought within four years after the right of action accrues.”

Product cases are a little different in that the right of action is still two years after being injured but cannot be more than ten years after the product was sold new to its first purchaser.  OCGA §51-1-11.  There are some minor exceptions regarding fraudulent “cover ups” of a defect.

This means that the clock is ticking and delay can cause critical evidence to disappear or even prevent you from even being able to sue.
