Weโre proud to announce a $365,000 settlement on behalf of our client following a sideโimpact (Tโbone) collision at the intersection of West Park Place Blvd SW and Stone Mountain Hwy SW (U.S. 78) in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
In this case, the at-fault driver ran a red light, but at the scene, the at-fault driver could not recollect what color the light was as he proceeded through the intersection.
Meanwhile, our driver maintained that he had the green light. Thankfully, an independent witness remained on the scene and verified that our client had the green light. Red light cases can be very difficult as both parties commonly state that they had the green light. Thus, this case establishes the importance of collecting independent witness statements (if possible) while at the scene and asking the witnesses to remain on the scene to provide a statement to the police. If they cannot, then at least gathering their contact information so that the police or an experienced Loganville car accident attorney can contact them later for their statement.
This crash caused a closed fracture of the left shoulder and additional injuries to the back, right leg, and right thumb. Treatment included ongoing orthopedic care, imaging, and arthroscopic shoulder surgery with postoperative followโups and therapy. The claim against the atโfault driver resolved for $365,000.
How Our Firm Approaches Personal Injury Cases
- ListenโFirst Intake & Rapid Case Setup: From the first call, our Intake Coordinator gathers facts, talks to witnesses, and sets the foundation: obtaining the police report, opening claims with the involved insurers, identifying available UM coverage, and sending Letters of Representation. We also request initial bills/records and help the client collect injury and vehicleโdamage photos to start building the evidentiary record.
- EvidenceโLed Liability Strategy: We organize the file in a way that mirrors the facts of the crashโintersection layout, impact mechanics, damage pattern, and medical causationโso the narrative is clear for adjusters or, if necessary, a jury.
- Coordinated Medical Documentation: As treatment progresses, our team works to collect complete, upโtoโdate medical records and bills, ensuring the shoulder injury and related treatment are accurately captured and linked to the collision.
- Demand Package: Clear, Chronological, and Persuasive: Once treatment milestones are reached, the Attorney and his Paralegal drafts the demand. Our Attorney then walks the client through the strategy and potential outcomes.
- Negotiation First: Litigation Ready: We negotiate with the adjuster to seek a fair resolution without suit when appropriate; if the carrier undervalues the claim, weโre prepared to file and litigate.
- Lien & Subrogation Management: Healthcare provider balances, health insurer subrogation, and other lien holders are addressed as part of settlement administration.
- Client Communication You Can Count On: We explain strategy, next steps, and significant decisions at every stage, keeping clients informed and involved.
