If you or someone you know has just been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you’ll want to find a personal injury attorney. Providing legal services to those claiming physical or psychological harm caused by a person, company, government agency or other entity, a personal injury lawyer focuses primarily in tort law which will be beneficial to you. Now, because insurance companies which are equipped with a team of lawyers and adjusters, start evaluating your claim the moment they are notified of your injury, it is especially imperative that you retain legal counsel right away.
We do, however, realize that many people don’t have a go-to personal injury attorney already in their contact list. You might text a close friend or family member if they know of a good personal injury attorney, turn to Facebook and post your request or take it one step further and Google “top 10 personal injury lawyers” or “top rated personal injury lawyers near me.”
Understandably, you may be overwhelmed by the process of securing a solid attorney to handle your case and you may still have several questions you’d like answers to before you actually sit down with an attorney or two for a consultation. That’s why we have taken the liberty of answering questions you might have so you are a little more prepared to talk to a personal injury lawyer face-to-face when the time comes.

An Athens car accident lawyer provides more than just sound legal advice and compensation for your injuries. At Norris Injury Law, our Athens car accident lawyers will always put your needs first. Traffic collisions are one of our nation’s leading causes of death each year, and Athens is no exception. Throughout Athens Clarke-County, car drivers are seriously injured as a result of car accidents and automobile collisions. Distracted driving, texting while driving, operating a vehicle under the influence, or bad weather all contribute to motor vehicle accidents in Athens, Georgia.
Time is of the essence in a truck wreck case and you need an attorney quickly before the evidence helpful to your case gets destroyed. Sometimes trucking companies would rather destroy the records than let them see the light of day in a courtroom. Delay allows the companies to destroy records and escape accountability. Let Blaine Norris and his staff fight for you and your family.
"Look twice. Save a life." If all drivers did it, you wouldn't need a personal injury lawyer as much as you'd need just a clear day, a mountain road, and a weekend off to ride. But fact is, despite motorcycles being more popular than ever people still don't pay significant enough attention to the SIGHT and SOUND of the biker. You are not borrowing the American road: It's yours, too! So if you or a loved one are injured in a motorcycle accident, you need a personal injury lawyer to pursue your rights without apology for the sound of your muffler or your presence on the road. Get an aggressive attorney on your side.
Cyclists, runners, walkers and other pedestrians have rights on the roads too, and careless drivers who hurt them should be held accountable. Many cyclists, runners, and walkers do not know that if they get injured they might have an extra layer of auto insurance protection from their OWN CAR INSURANCE even though their car was not in the wreck! Significant car insurance could be available to compensate you and get your medical bills paid if the car drives off or does not have enough insurance to pay for the harm caused by hitting you.
Whether your family's case deals with a fall, inattention to infections and bed sores, not properly caring for Alzheimer’s or dementia patients, cutting corners on staff or training, or even a case of intentional abuse from employees who never should have been hired in the first place, call on an experienced attorney for your family's case. If you suspect that a loved one might be a victim of nursing home negligence, do not hesitate to seek the guidance and advice from a nursing home abuse attorney.
Owners and occupiers of land and buildings owe a duty to those visiting their sites to have reasonably safe premises and not expose their patrons to unjustified risk. If an owner or tenant fails to take adequate steps to maintain a safe environment or allows a dangerous dog or defective condition on the property, and that carelessness injures a guest, the owner is responsible and legally accountable. Whether slip and fall, trip and fall, dog bites, or defective conditions at a business establishment have caused your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact us for a free evaluation of your claim.

Why us
Often, talking about a settlement too soon puts the cart before the horse. Your medical care should come first. You have been injured and need to get better before talking about settlement. Not only do you not know how bad or long-lasting your injury might be, but you might not even know all the available insurance available for the claims. So while you are seeking medical care for your injuries and trying to get better and return to work, your attorney should be gathering the insurance information to appreciate the possible sources of settlement./ After all, how badly you are injured and how long lasting those injuries will be in large part determines the potential settlement value of your case. But if you have been injured in a car accident caused by another driver’s negligence, the at fault driver’s insurance company may offer you a settlement claiming that it is a fair settlement. Unfortunately, it is rare for insurance companies to have your back, so to speak. Insurance companies have bottom lines they must protect, which is why they may try to convince the injured person seeking compensation to accept settlements that would barely cover their medical expenses, auto repair and other expenses accrued due to the accident.
Most notably known for being the “Home of the Dawgs,” Athens, Georgia has the pleasure of hosting hundreds of thousands of University of Georgia alumni throughout the year, especially during football season. There is nothing like a Georgia tailgate party! Thankfully, Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center is just around the corner should people have too much fun. But beyond football and the University, there is so much to do and see throughout town for visitors and residents alike. History buffs would surely appreciate the plethora of antebellum homes including The T.R.R. Cobb House, a mansion of a mid-19th-century lawyer with period furniture and exhibits showcasing its Southern history. Of course, a tour of these Southern homes would not be complete without a stop for lunch at Mama’s Boy. At Norris Injury Law, it is our privilege to be in such a wonderful town to serve our community to the best of our ability.
Your physical health may be the main priority over property damage, but that does not mean it should be put on the back burner. You just may be entitled to money to cover repairs or even replace your vehicle, as well as the cost of any other personal property damaged in the car crash, and the cost of a rental car. We advise you not to allow these costs to get ignored.

That’s why we have taken the liberty of answering questions you might have so you are a little more prepared to talk to a personal injury lawyer face-to-face when the time comes.
If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you definitely should hire a personal injury lawyer. Insurance matters are complicated, as are the issues of medical bills, health insurance claims, related to a wreck. An attorney can help make sure all the available possible automobile insurance and umbrella insurance is identified, and pursue your claim to get you the compensation you need to be made whole. The alternative, that is, self-representation, is not advisable as studies have shown that injured victims receive over three times more money from their settlements when handled by an experienced attorney. Insurance companies often offer much less than what a claim is worth hoping an injured person will just take the money and sign the release before talking to an attorney or considering who will cover the past medical bills, or potential health insurance subrogation or reimbursement amounts. The paperwork the insurance attempts to get you to sign has been drafted by attorneys for the insurance company is all about protecting the insurance company and their insured. These documents often overreach and put more on the innocent injured person than they would if an attorney were involved.
Hiring a reputable and knowledgeable personal injury attorney who can successfully negotiate with the insurance carriers is certainly worth every penny. Of course, this is coming from an attorney, but our legal team understands the business and will fight for you to help get your medical bills lowered because we’ve heard of so many people being taken advantage of. Many times it is not possible to resolve a case with the insurance company and a lawsuit is required. You need an attorney who has real courtroom litigation experience to prepare and present your case to a jury.
Aside from asking what their success rate is, another question you’ll want to ask a personal injury lawyer is about the firm’s contingency fee agreement. Contingency fee agreements allow the lawyer to collect compensation directly from your settlement or when you are awarded for damages. These agreements are typically set up based on a percentage of the amount of money you receive. In the State of Georgia, personal injury attorneys are paid for their work on a contingency fee, which is anywhere between 33%-45%. It is important to note that contingency fees may not cover expenses accrued by the attorney such as deposition fees and expert witnesses. The biggest thing to remember is that your personal injury attorney must provide a written contingency agreement before moving forward with your case so that you know what costs you are getting into.
