The Georgia Supreme Court has issued an opinion affirming an Athens-Clarke County jury's verdict of $13 Million to the widower of a woman who burned to death in a rear end collision on Highway 129.

Dangerous Times for Georgia Citizens' Rights at the Georgia Legislature

Posted on March 31, 2008
Today is Day 37 (out of 40) of the Georgia Legislature and it can be a dangerous time for Georgia citizens' rights during these last four days. A prime example is what occurred last Friday when an amendment was attached to a bill at the last moment that would adversely affect Georgia citizens' rights who wish to bring a products liability case against certain manufacturers...

Car Accident Victims Really Are In Pain

Posted on March 19, 2008
Finally, scientific proof that car accident victims aren't crazy, they really are in pain. If only their doctors would listen to them and take them seriously when they say, even a full year after the car wreck, they are still in pain. A recent study published on Monday in the medical journal Archives of Surgery showed a year after the injury, 63 percent of car wreck victims reported that they still experienced pain related to the injury, with most having pain in more than one region of the body...

Weak Roofs on SUV's Kill SUV Passengers

Posted on March 17, 2008
Plaintiffs personal injury lawyers across the nation are resisting the urge to say "I told you so" after the recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) confirms what we have been saying all along: if SUV manufacturers would simply make the roofs of SUV's stronger, it would save lives...

Georgia Landowners Should Remain Responsible for Their Premises

Posted on March 10, 2008
The Georgia General Assembly remains in session today, and with every day, some other Georgia citizen's rights are limited or even eliminated by that body. The latest example is the attempt by the Georgia Senate to extinguish a landowner's liabilty when that landowner operates, for profit, a business that could loosely be described as agricultural in nature...

Georgia DOT Untrustworthy

Posted on February 06, 2008
Georgia citizens are being placed at risk by the Georgia Department of Transportation. Two Georgia DOT bridge inspectors have now admitted they lied when they certified 54 Georgia bridges as being safe.

Posted on January 31, 2008
You may recall the tragic Comair airplane crash in Lexington, Kentucky in 2006. The plane crashed after taking off from the wrong runway, killing 49 of the 50 people aboard.

Wealthy Insurance Companies Rob Their Own Insureds

Posted on January 31, 2008
It is happening in almost every personal injury case these days, a wealthy health insurance carrier grabbing a personal injury plaintiff's settlement money under a roose called "subrogation." It is robbery and every Georgia Citizen and every American citizen should be outraged...

Posted on January 27, 2008
As you may know, I am a member of the State Bar of Georgia's Board of Governors, the governing body over Georgia's 38,000 lawyers. We, the Board of Governors, recently held our Mid-Year meeting here in Atlanta, and one item on our agenda was the GREAT Plan, HR 900, the new tax plan being proposed by the Speaker of the House, Glenn Richardson, a Republican State Representative from Paulding County...

An Arizona jury returned a plaintiff's verdict yesterday of a whopping $36.5 Million against Swift Trucking Company for Swift Trucking's driver's negligence in causing a horrible crash that killed the father of eight children. $13.5 Million of the verdict was for punitive damages to punish Swift for not producing their driver's logs in the litigation...

Old News: Doctors Protect Their Own

Posted on December 04, 2007
It's not news that doctors protect their own, although that fact is now proven. In a recent study, 46 percent of physicians surveyed admitted they knew of a serious medical error that had been made but did not tell authorities about it. This in spite of the fact that in 2000, the U...

Three Botched Brain Surgeries in Same Hospital Indicates Systems Failure

Posted on December 04, 2007
It is hard to believe this actually happened, I know, but in a Rhode Island hospital, there have been three botched brain surgeries in the last ten months in which the physician operated on the wrong side of the brain! In two cases, the doctors did not realize the errors until after they had opened the skull...

Log Truck Accident Kills 12 Year Old

Posted on December 03, 2007
Another log truck accident in Milledgeville, Georgia has killed a 12 year old girl and injured her mother. The accident happened on Sparta Highway in Baldwin County.

"Conservative" Georgia County Knows the Value of Pain and Suffering

Posted on December 03, 2007
I am very pleased to announce a $10 Million verdict by a Bibb County jury for a woman who was made severely ill by a laparotomy pad (sponge) left in her stomach by her doctors during surgery. Although the sponge left by the doctors was discovered in her stomach about a week after it was negligently left there, it had already poisoned the unfortunate woman so severely that it caused kidney damage and blindness...

Will Georgia's Courts Follow Illinois' Courts in Ruling Caps on Damages Unconstitutional?

Posted on November 14, 2007
We can only hope so. An Illinois Circuit Court yesterday held the cap on damages in Illinois to be unconstitutional. This took great courage by the Illinois Circuit Judge to call a spade a spade and she did just that, without regard for the inevitable political consequences her decision may have...

Progressive Insurance Company's Conduct is Reprehensible in Georgia

Posted on October 31, 2007
What could be scarier this Halloween? Tonight on Anderson Cooper 360� prepare to hear a chilling story of lies and deceit as the story of two everyday Americans are haunted by undercover agents in their own church. Progressive Insurance willingly accepted the premiums that Bill and Leandra Pitts paid them each month for UM Insurance...

Warning to Georgia Parent: Baby Seat Recalled

Posted on October 25, 2007
Warning to all Georgia parents: another child seat has been recalled. This time it is the Bumbo baby seat, made by Bumbo International, a Texas company. You can find out more at bumbosafety.com, but after looking at that site, it seems the corporation, like many in its shoes, is attempting to blame the parents for the lack of safety of the very product it manufactured...

Do Georgia Hospitals Discriminate Against the Uninsured?

Posted on October 16, 2007
The answer is probably yes. Georgia hospitals, along with most other hospitals in the United States, most likely discriminate against the uninsured, or those patients insured through either Medicare or Medicaid. A new study regarding patients with appendicitis certainly seems to prove the theory...

First Bluffton, Ohio Bus Crash Lawsuit Filed in Atlanta, Georgia

Posted on October 01, 2007
I read in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution this weekend that the first lawsuit regarding the Bluffton, Ohio bus crash, that killed or injured the members of a Bluffton, Ohio baseball team, was filed in Atlanta, Georgia. The article may not have detailed all the counts alleged or all of the defendants named in the suit, but it concerned me that it did not mention the Georgia Department of Transportation as being named as a defendant...

Progressive Insurance Admits to Violating the Privacy of Its Insureds in Georgia

Posted on September 30, 2007
Here in Georgia, Progressive Insurance Company has admitted to spying on its own insureds in a confidential church group. Progressive Insurance Company hired two private eyes to spy on Progressive's own insureds by infiltrating the couple's private, confidential church group, lying about their identities and their motives, so that they might be able to find out some kind of personal "dirt" on the insureds so Progressive could use it against them in an uninsured motorist lawsuit...

Georgia State Bar Takes Corporate America to Task

Posted on September 18, 2007
Thanks go out to Jay Cook, Immediate Past President of the State Bar of Georgia, for calling a spade a spade when it comes to the complete abdication of responsibility by Corporate America. President Cook's op-ed piece in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution today tells the truth:American Corporations routinely put profits over people, including Georgia citizens, every day...

Teen Cellphone Use in Atlanta, Georgia Illegal?

Posted on September 14, 2007
Teen cellphone use while driving is not illegal yet in Georgia, or in Metropolitan Georgia, but it should be. Too many teens are getting killed or injured, or killing others, while using the cellphone while driving. As a trial lawyer here in Metropolitan Atlanta, I see it all too often, usually while meeting with the grieving parents who have just lost their child at the hands of a teen driver...
