Case Studies
A Georgia resident was injured while riding as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle involved in a motor vehicle collision. The client was not driving and had no control over the events leading to the crash. As a result of the collision, the passenger sustained a fractured sternum that required surgical intervention. This case highlights both the complexity of rideshare injury claims and the importance of thoughtful, client-centered legal guidance during a difficult time.
The client was traveling as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle in Georgia when the vehicle was involved in a collision. Like many passengers in these situations, the client had little warning and no opportunity to take evasive action. Emergency services responded, and the client was evaluated following the crash.
As a non-driver passenger, the client was legally entitled to pursue a claim for injuries resulting from the collision, regardless of how fault was ultimately allocated among the drivers involved.
Medical evaluation identified a fracture to the sternum. Sternum injuries can vary widely in severity, and treatment decisions depend on individual clinical findings. In this case, surgical intervention was required as part of the client’s care.
Cases involving chest injuries often carry both physical and emotional weight. Our role was to approach the legal process with care and respect, while ensuring the seriousness of the injury was accurately reflected in the claim, without intruding on or speculating about private medical matters.
Rideshare accidents involve layers of insurance coverage that do not exist in typical auto collision cases. Depending on the rideshare driver’s status at the time of the crash, different policies may apply, including commercial coverage provided through the rideshare platform.
Our team carefully reviewed the available insurance coverage under Georgia law, identified the applicable policies, and positioned the claim accordingly. This process required coordination with multiple carriers and a clear understanding of how rideshare coverage operates.
From the outset, we focused on relieving the client of the stress that often accompanies serious injury claims. We handled communications with insurers, gathered and organized relevant documentation, and evaluated damages in a manner consistent with Georgia personal injury standards.
Throughout the case, we prioritized clear communication, patience, and steady advocacy, allowing the client to focus on their own well-being while we managed the legal process.
The case ultimately resolved for $1,575,000. The outcome reflected the severity of the injury, the availability of commercial insurance coverage, the client’s uninsured motorist coverage, and a well-supported presentation of the claim. While no resolution can undo the impact of a serious injury, this result helped provide a sense of closure and financial stability as the client moved forward.

Cervical Spine Injury Requiring Fusion
This case involved a Georgia resident who suffered a serious cervical spine injury in a collision with a commercial truck. Injuries to the neck and spine can introduce significant uncertainty, affecting both physical well-being and everyday life. We approached this case with care and attentiveness, recognizing the weight these situations carry for injured individuals. Commercial truck claims frequently involve complex insurance structures and well-funded legal defense teams, requiring careful preparation and a clear presentation of the facts. By managing insurer communications and advancing the claim under Georgia law, the case resolved for $895,000, bringing closure to a challenging and stressful chapter.
Passenger Injury Resulting in Significant Arm Injury
A Georgia resident was injured while riding as a passenger in a motor vehicle accident that occurred during the course of employment. The collision resulted in a significant arm injury that interfered with the client’s ability to work and manage day-to-day responsibilities. Situations like this often place injured workers in a difficult position, balancing physical recovery with concerns about income and benefits. Our role was to bring clarity to that moment by evaluating available claims and guiding the process forward under Georgia law. Through steady advocacy and direct handling of insurer communications, the case resolved for $350,000, helping the client move beyond the uncertainty created by the crash.
Spinal Injury Resulting from a Motor Vehicle Collision
This case involved a Georgia motorist who suffered a spinal injury following a car accident that wasn't her fault. In the aftermath of a crash, injuries to the spine often bring questions that extend beyond immediate medical concerns, including how the injury may affect daily life and future plans. Our work focused on carefully documenting the claim and ensuring the insurance carrier fully understood the significance of the injury under Georgia law. By maintaining consistent communication and advocating for a fair outcome, the case resulted in a recovery of $250,000, helping address the disruption caused by the accident.

FAQs
First, make sure everyone is safe and call 911 to report the crash. Get medical attention, even if you feel fine, since some injuries take time to appear. If possible, gather photos, witness names, and insurance details. Then, contact a Georgia personal injury lawyer before speaking with the insurance company. Early legal guidance can help protect your rights and preserve valuable evidence.
The time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia, known as the statute of limitations, can vary depending on the type of accident and injury. For example, car wrecks, wrongful death cases, and injuries on unsafe property may all have different filing deadlines.
Because important evidence can disappear quickly, it is always best to contact our office as soon as possible after an accident. From the start, we work to preserve key evidence, ensure you are receiving the comprehensive medical care you need, and handle communication with insurance companies so you can focus on recovery while we focus on protecting your case.
In many Georgia personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident, but certain circumstances can shorten or extend that timeline. Talk to our team to determine the statute of limitations related to your circumstances and how we can step in to help, today.
Every case is different. Some settle within a few months, while others take longer depending on the extent of your injuries, medical treatment, and negotiations with the insurance company. Our goal is always to move your case forward efficiently while protecting the full value of your claim.
The timeline can also be affected by external factors such as court scheduling, insurance companies delaying responses, or bad actors trying to avoid accountability. Even when the process takes time, our team stays proactive so you can focus on healing while we handle the rest.
Throughout the process, we make communication simple and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates on your case and have easy access to our team through a secure app right on your phone. It includes texting-style messaging and case updates at the touch of a button, so you’re never left wondering where things stand. Of course, we’re always happy to talk with you directly by phone whenever you prefer.
It’s common for insurance companies, or even the at-fault party, to offer quick compensation after an accident. These early offers are often made before the full extent of your injuries, medical costs, or long-term needs are known. Accepting too soon can prevent you from recovering the full amount you’re entitled to.
Even if someone offers you money at the scene of the accident, that does not necessarily mean you don’t have a case. In many situations, those offers are an attempt to limit future liability. Our team can review the facts, explain your options, and help you understand what your claim may truly be worth before you make any decisions.
All of our personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs to get started. We only collect a fee if we secure an offer off recovery for you. This approach keeps our interests aligned with yours and ensures that we only succeed when you do. Every fee agreement is explained in writing before representation begins so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Getting started is simple. Reach out for a free consultation so our team can review your situation and help you understand your options. We will guide you through each step with clarity and care, answer your questions, and explain how we can begin building your case right away.
