Motor Vehicle Accidents
Vehicle accidents cause serious and life-changing injuries. Automobile litigation can often involve complex insurance coverage questions, expert reconstruction analysis and detailed medical explanation. As former insurance defense attorneys, Evan and Michael are experienced with these issues that are often accompanied by insurance delay tactics. Having represented injured persons for over 10 years, Evan and Michael have successfully handled hundreds of collisions from single car wrecks in a parking lot to multi-vehicle tractor trailer wrecks on interstate roads.

Bus Accidents
Buses can be dangerous to passengers, other motorists and pedestrians alike. Because of the size of these vehicles, bus accident injuries have the potential to be catastrophic and even fatal.

Motorcycle Accidents
Every motorcyclist knows the joy of the open road but bikers are uniquely exposed on the road and are at risk for serious injuries when involved in accidents. Not all motorists give motorcycles due consideration, leading to an increased number of motorcycle accidents.

Truck Accidents
Commercial trucks are the biggest vehicles on the road. The tractor alone can weigh up to 10 tons with a 1,000 horsepower engine and a trailer adding tons more. This size and power means that truck accidents tend to be major, causing catastrophic injuries and even death.

Drivers in Athens and Atlanta always have a duty to be on the lookout for pedestrians in and around the road.

Bicyclist Accidents
Whether you ride for pleasure, for exercise or simply to get from place to place in Athens or Atlanta, you know all too well the challenges bicyclists face on the road. Many motorists — sometimes it seems like most motorists — simply have no idea how to deal with bicyclists on public roadways.
Medical Malpractice
Medical care is a complex process that involves numerous professionals across many disciplines coordinating their efforts and working together. A breakdown in any link of that chain can bring about serious illness or injury and give rise to a medical malpractice lawsuit.
Wrongful Death
The world is a dangerous place, especially when the people in it fail to use good judgment in their actions. In nearly all cases when a person suffers a substantial injury or wrongful death, someone’s unreasonable actions or inaction was a contributing factor.
