Representing Accident Victims in Columbus
Many people suffer minor injuries in car wrecks or other types of accidents that cause soreness for a few days or weeks. Then they recover and their lives go on as normal. These are not the type of personal injury cases we handle at the law firm of Oates & Courville in Columbus, Georgia.
Our attorneys only represent people who have suffered life-changing injuries, such as spinal cord damage resulting in paralysis, traumatic brain injury resulting in a need to re-learn basic living skills, amputation and broken bones. By limiting our practice to those who have suffered the most severe injuries, we can provide more attention to the people who need the most help.
We represent people who suffer serious personal injury in all types of accidents involving negligence, including:
- Car accidents
- Tractor trailer accidents
- Construction accidents
- Slip and fall accidents (also known as premises liability cases)
- Severe attacks by dogs or other dangerous animals
Helping You Obtain Full Compensation
When someone is injured in an accident, it usually takes a lawyer to uncover all possible sources of compensation. Otherwise, you may not receive enough compensation to pay your medical bills, much less enough to compensate you for past and future wages lost, or pain and suffering.
For example, Georgia law only requires car owners to carry $25,000 in liability coverage. If you are severely injured in a car accident, that coverage will be grossly inadequate. Our lawyers will look for additional sources of coverage that most people aren't aware of, such as stacked coverage, umbrellas polices, and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.
Our lawyers will also investigate to determine if there are additional parties who may be negligent in causing your injury. For example, if a construction company left debris on the road and this caused the accident, the construction company may be liable.
