Whiplash, Concussions, Sprains, Strains & Broken Bone Injuries
A car accident could leave you with serious personal injuries, and while your insurance company is supposed to protect you, they want to minimize the financial impact of your accident. This means, providing you with as little compensation as possible. At the law offices of Saundra M. Davis, located in Snellville, Georgia in Gwinnett County, and with a satellite office in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia, we will make sure you are taken care of properly, whether you have broken bones, a whiplash injury, or a permanent disability.
As a personal injury lawyer with over 25 years of experience, attorney Saundra M. Davis will do everything possible to help make you whole again. With experience as an insurance defense attorney, she knows how the insurance company will try to use your own actions or inactions against you. At your side throughout the process, we will make sure you do everything you can to aid your recovery from the following injuries:
- Whiplash injuries: All it takes is the sudden movement of the neck to cause a whiplash injury, which is especially common in rear-end collisions.
- Concussions: The same, sudden head movement that can cause a whiplash injury can cause a concussion — a rotation of the brain in the skull. This is a Traumatic Brain Injury that may or may not be accompanied by a loss of consciousness. Memory loss (Post Traumatic Amnesia), and feeling dazed or confused are typical symptoms. Be sure to mention ALL symptoms to your doctor for a properly documented diagnosis!
- Herniations: We will make sure you see a doctor who can help you recover and demonstrate the cause of your injury in court, if needed.
- Sprain and strain: The stretching of muscle in an unexpected position or tears of the muscle fibers, sprains and strains can have a major impact on your life.
- Broken bones: From fractured ribs and clavicles to other major broken bone injuries, we know how seriously a broken bone can impact your life.
If you have suffered permanent or partial disability after your accident, don’t do anything that could sabotage your treatment or claim because of financial reasons. This could end up costing you more in the long run. As your representative, we will take care of your medical bills and all communication with your medical providers and the insurance company about your settlement. Your number one job is to get better through regular, and necessary, medical treatment.
Loss of Consortium
Our firm also handles loss of consortium claims for individuals whose spouses have also suffered consequences related to your physical and mental injuries from the wreck. Covering everything from the loss of services, such as yard or house work, to the loss of affection during the time of your injury, your spouse has four (4) years from the time of the accident to file and resolve a claim or file lawsuit for loss of consortium.
Injuries to Children
No matter how small the injury may seem, it is important to take your child to a pediatrician, as soon as possible! If you don’t, a gap in treatment could occur, making the causation element of your negligence claim more difficult to prove. These cases can be complex, but we can help negotiate a fair settlement for minors, as well.
