Personal Injury

Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney

Personal Injury law is a broad category that covers any injury one receives due to the negligence (or the wrongful act) of another. The wrongful act can be committed by an individual or a corporation. While these types of cases comprise the majority of personal injury cases in terms of sheer numbers, personal Injury cases can also arise from the negligence of doctors who commit medical malpractice or dentists who commit dental malpractice. While some personal injury lawsuits stem from car accidents and the like, we handle many more personal injury situations. While the following is certainly not an exhaustive list, some examples of Georgia personal injury cases include:

Many people who are injured in Atlanta personal injury accidents suffer serious permanent injuries such as brain injuries (often referred to as traumatic brain injury or "TBI"), closed head injuries, amputation and loss of limbs, serious back injuries such as ruptured or herniated disc, nerve injuries, serious burns such as third - degree burns, crushed limbs, aggravation of existing conditions, emergency situations which require ER visits and admission into the hospital and even wrongful death. These types of serious injuries result in large amounts of legal damages that are recognized under Georgia law in the form of medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, disfigurement, future medical bills, and a diminished quality of life. In addition, the spouse of an injured person is entitled to be fully compensated for their "loss of consortium" which is the loss that occurs when a spouse is injured and the other spouse loses their companionship, services, and marital relations. If handled correctly, under the right circumstances, a loss of consortium clam can have substantial value in the lawsuit.

In order to prevail in a Georgia personal injury claim, the plaintiff must establish the essential legal elements of a personal injury case, which are duty, breach, causation and damages. The element of duty is established by proving that the negligent party owed a duty to the plaintiff (such as a duty to use reasonable care under the circumstances or for a doctor or dentist to do what a reasonably prudent professional would do under similar circumstance). Property owners and store owners have a duty to keep their premises safe. Professionals, such as doctors and dentists owe a duty to provide care that a reasonably prudent doctor would under like or similar circumstances. The element of breach is established by proving that the other person injured you by not complying with the applicable standard of care. The element of causation is established by proving that the breach of the standard of care was the proximate cause of your injuries. The final element of damages is proving that you have suffered a personal injury. In most cases, this element is satisfied by medical testimony linking your physical injuries to the accident, negligence or malpractice. In almost all cases, this requires expert testimony, either by the treating physicians or an expert who is retained to render an opinion.

If you or a family member has been injured in personal injury accident, you are entitled to be fully compensated for your injuries. We are experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyers who work hard to get you all that you are entitled to under the law.

"I spent four days in the hospital after two pit bulls attacked me while I was gardening in my yard. My injuries were severe. After the attack, I was hurting and scared. I was worried about the mounting medical bills and how I was going to pay them. My accountant referred me to Atlanta injury lawyer, Robert J. Fleming. Mr. Fleming was able to help me. He always took good care of me. I liked the way he used technology to keep me informed (scanning documents for me to see, e-mail updates, etc.). He is a smart and experienced lawyer who knows how to get things done. Honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about Robert J. Fleming and the Fleming Law Firm. They were able to help me recover a lot of money for my dog bite injuries and I think Mr. Fleming is a genuinely nice person."

"I sought legal help from Robert J. Fleming after having been hurt by a chiropractor. Mr. Fleming did all that he told me he would do. Once I hired him as my lawyer, he worked very hard on my case and he kept me informed on what was happening every step of the way. I am a hairdresser. After my case settled, I was able to buy my own salon and that has changed my life. Robert J. Fleming did a fabulous job for me. I could not have asked for more from him."

"Robert J. Fleming represented me in an auto accident case. I turned to him after another lawyer withdrew from my case because the insurance company would not settle. Robert J. Fleming took my case, filed suit, went to trial AND WON! While my case may not have been the biggest case he handled, Mr. Fleming worked extremely hard on my case. I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Fleming in the courtroom and I can honestly say that he could not have been more impressive. Not only did I recover the money for medical bills and pain and suffering that were asked for, we were awarded over $8,000 in attorneys\' fees, which I understand is very rare in Georgia. Robert J. Fleming is the best!"

"Due to the defendant\'s stalling tactics, my case took several months to come to trial, but Mr. Fleming was always willing to discuss my case and took a personal interest in every aspect of my suit. He explored every angle, which meant very much to me after other attorneys had dismissed my case as too much trouble to pursue. Unfortunately, the facts of my case are sealed, but I believe I am allowed to say that Mr. Fleming did win a substantial amount for my injuries. If you want someone who will hear you out and "go the extra mile" to win your case, Robert J. Fleming is your man. I highly recommend Mr. Fleming. It was always comforting to know that he was on the case."

"We are long haul truckers with 35 years of over-the-road experience. We hired Robert J. Fleming to handle a case involving a used truck we purchased in Georgia that had many hidden (and soon to be discovered) mechanical problems. Although Rob had to take a crash course in diesel mechanics, we obtained a fair settlement from the truck dealer and actually we are now on good terms with the dealer; even after the case was settled. Robert J. Fleming was able to accomplish a feat rarely seen--settling a case where both parties stay civil to each other. It speaks volumes for his calmness and logical mind. Since then, we have asked for his advice and opinion on another matter for which we have not hired him yet. Despite our anxiousness and worry, Robert has been very patient and reassuring and, additionally, has not charged us. We would definitely hire Robert J Fleming again based on our experience."

"Robert J. Fleming represented me in a medical malpractice case. Due to the doctor\'s not properly monitoring my coumadin therapy, I suffered a bleed and I lost vision in one of my eyes. Mr. Fleming tried the case before a jury in downtown Atlanta in the Fulton County Courthouse. It was such an intense experience to watch him try my case. It was a jury trial and it lasted almost two weeks. We received a multi-million dollar verdict. My husband Michael and I are so very grateful to have had Mr. Fleming representing us in the courtroom. I made a life-long friend and trusted advisor. There are so many good things to say about him. Rob is a top-notch Georgia injury lawyer: competent, thorough, remarkable, unbeatable, intelligent, personable, and easy to talk to. During the entire two week trial, Rob was prepared for every single question. He had a complete understanding of my injuries, how they occurred, the medical issues and the law. The defendants could not stump him, and believe me, they tried. He knew exactly what was going to happen and was prepared every step of the way. He changed my life."
