HOW WE WIN PERSONAL INJURY CASES

No one expects to find themselves searching for a personal injury lawyer in Macon, GA. We know that you are going through a challenging time as you heal from your injuries and face the financial stresses that accompany medical bills and lost income. That’s why you can count on our compassionate team to explain the process of a personal injury case, to guide you through every step, and to devote ourselves to fighting for the full compensation you’re owed.

Here are some of the ways we win personal injury cases in Macon and how we can help you:

We leave no stone unturned. Our team will thoroughly investigate your case. Georgia law allows for a personal injury lawsuit to be filed as a way to seek relief and provide compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. One of the most important ways our personal injury lawyers can assist you is during the investigation of the accident. Whether the incident occurred in a vehicle wreck, while on the job or in a public space, there are sometimes multiple at-fault parties and overlapping insurance policies. Our thorough investigation can help you more fully understand what happened, what went wrong, and who may be liable.

We aggressively protect your interests. When it comes to handling injuries and accidents, it is important to remember that the police are neutral and not in a position to investigate or protect your individual circumstances. Employers are often pressured to provide the least financial support they can to resolve a work injury claim. They want to wrap it up quickly and get back to business-as-usual. And insurance companies are already ‘lawyered-up,’ working hard to protect their bottom line. You need an advocate working on your side.

We handle the insurance company for you. Macon personal injury attorney David Mann is involved in every case. David left larger firms, including working as a lawyer for a large insurance company, to join his family-owned law firm. This work with insurance companies provided invaluable insight about their defense strategies that helps us better serve our clients. It really helps to know what tactics are used by the insurer. Once you file a personal injury lawsuit, it helps that your attorney knows both sides of the fence. David Mann anticipates what’s coming before it happens and can better plan for it.

We always fight to secure the maximum compensation. The Mann Law Firm has helped hundreds of Macon area residents during the hardest times of their lives, and we understand the impact a serious injury or an unexpected death has on a family. We believe that people who suffer losses caused by other people’s recklessness or negligence deserve to be compensated fully.

MACON + MANN LAW FIRM = A WINNING COMBINATION

This is not the time for you to worry about whether you will win your case. That’s why choosing our Macon personal injury lawyer to represent you will give you peace of mind. Why we are your best option:

  • Our winning record includes several million-dollar victories.
  • In their own words, our clients explain the ways we helped them.
  • David Mann is a Macon personal injury attorney with just the right experience to obtain maximum dollars in a settlement or to be victorious at trial.

When you work with Mann Law Firm, you not only have representation from our excellent personal injury lawyer, you also have our full team behind you. You’ll find we have a personal touch that the sensitive issues surrounding personal injury cases deserve.

WINNING A PERSONAL INJURY CASE

OUR PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS IN MACON, GA, WORK TO WIN FULL & FAIR COMPENSATION

People usually file personal injury claims in Macon because they have suffered a costly injury that was someone else’s fault, and they want to be given compensation for the many costs they face. In a personal injury claim, these costs are referred to as damages. When you secure our legal representation, our Macon personal injury attorney will calculate the total damages in your case to determine what settlement amount you should receive. However, there are some cases in which you may not be able to obtain compensation for all damages. This relates to specific Georgia laws regarding personal injury cases.

When an accident causes your injuries, it’s possible you hold a portion of responsibility for that accident. This doesn’t mean you won’t get compensation for your damages. The state of Georgia has a “modified comparative fault” law that will reduce the amount of damages you can receive by the amount of responsibility you hold for an accident. So, if you are found to be 10% at fault and the total damages related to your injury amounts to $1,000,000, the maximum you can receive in your personal injury case is $900,000. However, the “modified” element of Georgia law means that if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you cannot receive any damages (O.C.G.A. §51-12-13).

TYPES OF DAMAGES IN GEORGIA PERSONAL INJURY CASES

Some of the costs of your injuries can be easy to assess. You have medical bills. You have lost income from time you missed at work. You may have damage to property, like your vehicle. These are considered economic damages. Personal injury cases also include non-economic damages. They pertain to physical and emotional consequences of your injuries, such as pain and suffering. Both types of damages are equally important to factor in when determining how much to seek in a personal injury claim. There is also a third type of damages in a personal injury case: punitive damages. Punitive damages are awarded to an injured person as a form of punishment against the at-fault party. Through punitive damages, as well as the economic and non-economic damages, personal injury claims don’t just offer money to injured people. They also offer justice and accountability. If you’ve been injured, our Macon personal injury lawyer will make sure the person that wronged you is held responsible for their actions.

Here are some of the types of damages that might be part of your personal injury case:

  • Medical expenses (hospitalization, tests, treatments, ongoing care, rehabilitation, medications, etc.)
  • Property damage
  • Lost income from time missed at work
  • Future income lost due to reduced work capacity
  • Travel costs associated with treatment for your injuries
  • On-going and future medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • PTSD
  • Diminished quality of life.

When you work with David Mann, you can rest assured he knows every possible damage you can claim related to your injuries. He will pursue those damages aggressively.

Macon personal injury attorney David Mann knows Georgia law inside and out. He has worked on both sides of injury cases, so he knows how insurance companies view legal claims that seek full compensation for damages. Insurers will do all they can to keep the amount they pay out as low as possible.

WHAT OUR PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IN MACON WILL DO FOR YOU

Some people may try to work with an insurance company directly as they seek compensation for injuries caused by another party. If you take this route, chances are good you’ll leave money on the table. Only by working with an experienced Macon personal injury attorney can you position yourself to get the maximum compensation possible in your case. While David Mann is a skilled negotiator and is ready to counter every tactic an insurer may use to try to reduce your settlement, there are many steps we take before we get to that stage.

When you contact our personal injury attorney at the Mann Law Firm, we start to work for you immediately. We will….

  • Investigate the accident scene and gather evidence, such as surveillance videos and police and medical reports
  • Interview witnesses, police officers, and first responders
  • File all paperwork in accordance with Georgia deadlines and court requirements
  • Hire experts to reconstruct the accident and to testify on your behalf to show how your injuries and suffering negatively affect your life
  • Negotiate with insurance companies and their attorneys, who will attempt to get you to settle for the lowest amount possible
  • Take your case to trial and advocate for you in front of a jury if necessary.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH OF OUR PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY AT MANN LAW FIRM

When you hire me, you hire me. You’re not hiring a paralegal or a junior associate. David Mann is always troubled that new clients assume he won’t have time to speak with them, or that he’s not approachable. That’s just not David. He dedicates himself to every case and every client. He’s your attorney, but he’s also your neighbor. He cares about you and your family. David knows you are going through a very difficult time and he wants to help you get your life back. Most important, he wants you to have peace of mind. When you hire personal injury lawyer David Mann, you can trust you’ll get fully compensated for your injuries. That means you can focus on healing.

Hire an attorney you can trust, who has the experience, knowledge and skill needed to win your case. Personal injuries happen every day, and in every situation – on the road, at work, at home, and in the hospital, grocery store or shopping mall. An injured person might recover over a period of weeks, months or longer, while not being able to work to pay for such expenses as primary medical care, medicine, therapy and rehabilitation, in-home care, a wheelchair, and property damage, such as to repair or replace a car after a wreck.

People who are injured by others deserve to be compensated for their losses, but aggressive legal help is usually required to realize that goal. Macon personal injury attorney David Mann has had numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements, but the satisfaction that comes from helping clients brings its own rewards, he says. “When you have a tough case involving someone who was told nothing could be done for them and then you’re able to do something for them, it makes you look like a hero in their eyes. And that’s nice.” “I tell people, ‘When you hire me, you hire me,’” he says. “You’re not hiring a paralegal or a junior associate.”

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT PERSONAL INJURY CASES

  • Why file a personal injury case?

    Our personal injury attorneys in macon, ga, work to win full & fair compensation. People usually file personal injury claims because they have suffered a costly injury that was someone else’s fault, and they want to be given compensation for the many costs they face. In a personal injury claim, these costs are referred to as damages, and they include:

    • Medical expenses (hospitalization, tests, treatments, ongoing care, rehabilitation, medications, etc.)
    • Property damage
    • Lost income from time missed at work
    • Future income lost due to reduced work capacity
    • Pain and suffering
    • PTSD
    • Diminished quality of life.

    The costs above include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are the financial consequences of an injury, while non-economic damages pertain to physical and emotional consequences. Both types of damages are equally important to factor in when determining how much to seek in a claim. A third type of damages – punitive damages – is awarded to an injured person as a form of punishment against the at-fault party. Personal injury claims don’t just offer money to injured people; they also offer justice and accountability. If you’ve been injured, a personal injury claim is a way to make sure the person that wronged you is held responsible for their actions.

  • Can I handle a personal injury claim on my own?

    In theory, any person can represent themselves in a legal matter. Nearly every legal expert will tell you this is a bad idea. Even the most skilled lawyers hire attorneys to represent them. If you handle your own personal injury claim, you will be unfamiliar with the process, which means you’ll spend a significant amount of time learning the basics of the law. You’ll be more likely to make mistakes. Dealing with insurance companies for the first time can be overwhelming, and you could be leaving a lot of money on the table when accepting an offer. Don’t risk what could be a sizable settlement. Hire an attorney.

  • Who should I sue in a personal injury claim?

    You will generally be filing a lawsuit against the person that caused your injuries, but determining liability can be more complex than one realizes. There could be multiple parties at fault for your injuries. One of the benefits of working with a personal injury lawyer is having an advocate that investigates your case to make sure the right person or persons are named in your claim.

  • How do I know whether I have a claim?

    If you have suffered serious injuries through no fault of your own, you should explore your legal options. Our Macon personal injury lawyer will provide you a free consultation to help you determine whether your claim could be successful.

  • How do you know who was at-fault?

    At the Mann Law Firm, we know how important it is to file a claim against the appropriate party. In some cases, the person you name in a lawsuit is obvious. For example, when a drunk driver causes your injury, that driver should be held accountable for the costs their victim faces. But our personal injury lawyer knows that it’s always wise to look deeper. If a drunk driver was served an excessive number of drinks at a local bar, our attorney might determine that the bar staff is at least partially responsible.

    We find the at-fault party and hold them accountable. Our firm conducts thorough investigations to make sure we are naming the right defendants. We know that this decision should not be taken lightly, and we want to hold all negligent parties accountable for the harm you’ve suffered. Contact our team at Mann Law Firm today to schedule your free consultation with our Macon personal injury lawyer.

    Whatever injury you have suffered, you have the legal right to file a claim if you believe you deserve compensation from a negligent party. We encourage you to contact us to meet with our team and determine whether you should pursue a case.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    You have two years from the time of your injury to file a personal injury claim in Georgia (O.C.G.A. §9-3-33). This window is called the statute of limitations. Though you do have two years to act, it’s usually in an injured person’s best interests to start the process as soon as possible.

  • How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

    Though every attorney can choose how they want to be paid, we take a fee only if we win your case. By working on a contingency fee, we ensure that our clients don’t face large legal fees or other expenses if their claim is unsuccessful. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

YOUR PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT

OUR PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS EXPLAIN WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN YOUR CASE

Once you decide to move forward with a personal injury claim, we will handle the day-to-day aspects of your case, including filing all paperwork, investigating the circumstances surrounding your injury and corresponding with insurance companies or other attorneys. We will also depose any necessary parties, consult expert witnesses and look for every advantage in your case.

After we determine who should be held responsible, we will demand payment for your injuries. This will lead to correspondence with any number of parties, depending on the complexity of your case. If the other side is willing to cooperate, we will negotiate on your behalf to achieve a satisfactory settlement. If the other side’s offers don’t meet our demands, the matter will proceed to trial, where we will present your case before a jury.

After a successful settlement or trial, you will start receiving payment. Often, the payments are paid in one lump sum after the settlement is finalized, though in some cases payments might be structured and made over a designated period. We accept our fee only if your case is successful. How much you will receive in payment and how long your case will take depends on several factors, and no two cases are the same. Settlements and verdicts range from thousands to millions of dollars. Some cases can be resolved in several weeks, while others take several months or longer to complete. When you hire our Macon personal injury lawyer, you can be certain you’ll secure the maximum possible settlement in negotiations or award in a trial. Let David’s experience and skill work to your best advantage.
