- DUI/DWIToday, the enforcement and punishment for the offense of DUI is much more serious than in the past. A conviction for a first time DUI carries minimum sentences, including loss of license, jail time, and community service. Each subsequent DUI involves increasingly severe minimum sentences and may involve an ignition interlock device, the surrender of your license plates, and having your picture published in the newspaper.
- Wrongful DeathWhen someone we love is taken from us unexpectedly, the last thing we want to deal with is all of the details that come with the loss. When your loved one’s death is caused by another’s negligence or wrongdoing, the grieving becomes even more intense. There is nothing that can take the place of your loved one or make the grieving process easier, but if you are faced with this situation, you may have the grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit.

- Property DamageIn most states, including Georgia, a great majority of motorists have only minimal liability insurance coverage to pay for property damage, injuries, or death that result from their own negligence. Since most motorcycle accidents are caused by the negligence of someone other than the motorcyclist, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is essential to compensate the motorcyclist for his or her property damage and injuries resulting there from. We recommend a minimum of $100,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and $50,000 in medical payments coverage on your motorcycle. You should note even that amount will be insufficient if your injuries are very serious in nature, such as those requiring surgery or resulting in permanent disability and/or disfigurement. You should therefore consider purchasing uninsured/underinsured coverage in excess of the $100,000 minimum.

- Debt CollectionAre you being repeatedly called by a debt collector? Did you know that there is a law that actually protects you against this and other harassing, threatening, misleading or abusive actions in order to collect a debt? It’s called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Under FDCPA, a bank, creditor, or debt collection agency seeking payment may not use any false, deceptive or misleading information while collecting a debt. Even if you have suffered a debilitating personal injury and are being pursued by debt collectors, you are protected and have rights.
