Cases Brian handles

- Consumer protection claims, including under the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage
Many Georgia drivers carry too little insurance, or none. Your own UM/UIM coverage may make up the difference, but your insurer does not automatically pay what the claim is worth. Brian reviews the policies involved, identifies all available coverage, and pursues it.
Deadlines
Most personal injury claims in Georgia must be filed within two years (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). If a city, county, or state vehicle or property is involved, written notice may be due within six or twelve months; see Civil Rights for those notice deadlines.
What you can do after a crash or fall
- Get medical care and follow through with treatment.
- Photograph the scene, vehicles, hazards, and injuries.
- Get the police or incident report number and witness contact information.
- Notify your own insurer, but avoid recorded statements to the other side's insurer before talking with a lawyer.
- Keep bills, pay stubs showing missed work, and a simple journal of how the injury affects daily life.
