Dog attacks are on the rise in Georgia. As such, you need to be aware of how the law affects you so you can better protect yourself. Forget the MYTH – there is NO FIRST BITE RULE in Georgia. In fact, several recent cases in Georgia specifically say the same thing. The truth is, though, that a dog bite case can be tough. You must show that the owner knew or reasonably should have known that the dog that injured you was more likely than not to do that type of harm. This can be tricky. Call me today – 678-453-8554 – if you’ve been attacked by a dog and we can discuss how to get your case moving forward.
In the meantime, here’s what you should know as a dog owner: familiarlize yourself with local ordinances requiring your dog to be at heel or on a leash. Never let your dog wander around on its own, particularly in a residential setting. Get your dog trained! People get spooked very easily when a playful dog looks or acts aggressive. If that person tries to flee away from your dog, trips on a curb, and breaks an ankle, you can be held financially responsible for the injury. Get your dog trained so you can avoid the financial burden and headache.
Our client was driving home in Gwinnett County when a driver crossed the yellow line and struck her head on. That driver was driving under the influence (DUI). The collision absolutely destroyed our client’s vehicle. The photographs alone are disturbing. I’m so happy that she was not killed. Fortunately, we were able to recover $100,000 for her to assist her while she recovers, and we were able to get the matter settled within one month. We are now filing suit against the driver and expect to be at trial on the matter within one year.
Here’s some free advice: If you drive a car, you should have uninsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage. Too often we see drivers who are injured because of someone else’s carlessness. In some scenarios, our clients do not have “UM”, or uninsured motorist coverage. In that case, if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, you’ll get no compensation. You should also have medical payments coverage, or MedPay. MedPay is no fault insurance that covers a certain amount of medical bills. Do NOT drive without these types of coverage.
Our client was driving on a rainy day in July. A driver approaching from the opposite direction over-corrected, lost control, and collided with our client. Our client sustained significant injuries and was hospitalized for several days. We were able to force the insurance company to pay the maximum policy of its insured’s policy limits within about 1 month. We may also be able to assist her with a claim to recover her uninsured motorist’s policy limits.
