Areas of Practice – Featuring Personal Injury and Car Accidents

Our primary focus is helping injured clients to collect the compensation they deserve to be “made whole”, a legal term that means covering all of the costs and damages associated with your accident. When you are injured in an accident that was caused by the negligence of someone or something else, the negligent party and often their insurance company will be liable for the damages associated with your injuries.

Collecting the full amount of compensation that you deserve requires that you gather evidence to prove and accurately measure the damages associated with your injuries. We have been helping clients injured in Georgia collect the best possible settlement from insurance companies for decades for a broad variety of injuries, including:

Motor Vehicle Collisions

• Car accidents
• Large truck and bus wrecks – accidents involving large truck and buses are especially dangerous, and led to over 121,000 injuries in 2019 and over 5,000 fatal crashes
• Rideshare accidents – if you’ve been injured in an accident with an Uber/Lyft driver, or while a passenger, you could be entitled to damages
• Motorcycle accidents
• Rear-end collisions
• Rollover accidents
• Pedestrian car accidents

Personal Injury

• Medical malpractice
• Wrongful death
• Nursing home/elder abuse
• Negligent security
• Burn injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Sexual assault

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one in an accident or incident caused by someone or something else, you could be entitled to compensation for the loss of their financial and emotional contribution to your household. These damages are collected through what is known as a wrongful death action. We understand that the loss of a loved one is a difficult time, and we will step into your shoes and handle the claims process on your behalf. You should not also have to experience financial hardship due to death costs like the funeral, as well as the loss of your loved one’s financial contribution to your household.

DUI Defense

To convict you of a DUI, the state must prove each and every element of the crime. We have years of experience successfully challenging DUI cases, or negotiating the best possible outcome given the facts and circumstances of the case.

Your Initial Consultation is Cost-Free and Risk-Free

We’ll collect some basic information about your injury, the accident or incident that caused it, as well as information about potentially responsible parties and their insurance companies.

If we think your case is one that we can help on, we’ll gather additional information, and go over your options for engagement. With our dedicated black personal injury attorneys in Atlanta from Merritt & Merritt Law Firm on the case, we’ll handle the entire claims process on your behalf. This includes collecting evidence, drafting and filing your claim, then negotiating the best possible settlement with the insurance company.

When the insurance company will not present a fair offer of settlement to cover your damages, we’ll file a lawsuit and take them to court as necessary to force them to pay what you deserve.  Before we get started on the case, we’ll go over all the details concerning payment, and sign an engagement agreement that creates the attorney-client relationship.

When Should I Contact a Personal Injury Attorney?

If you have been injured, it is important to immediately seek out emergency medical attention. The excitement and adrenaline associated with an accident can lead to you overlooking injuries, or mistaking a headache as a minor discomfort as opposed to a symptom of traumatic brain injury. The best way to ensure that you do not have unidentified injuries, or might not notice something until the excitement wears away in time, is to seek out emergency medical attention as soon as possible following the accident or incident that injured you.

Once you’ve received emergency medical care, it is time to reach out to a personal injury attorney. We will help you schedule follow-up appointments from medical and occupational experts in our network to accurately measure not only the present costs of your injuries, but also what they will cost in the future. It is also essential to determine whether your injuries might impact your ability to work and earn for yourself and your family, and to incorporate that into your settlement.
