Legal Representation for Personal Injury Victims
Personal injuries cause more than physical pain. They often lead to emotional and financial hardship because of loss of work, significant medical bills and loss of ability to function normally on a daily basis. If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault, your life may be forever changed. It can be difficult, when you are focusing all your energy on getting well, to take the time and effort necessary to protect your legal interests. That’s where we come in. At Kaufman, Miller & Sivertsen, P.C., in Atlanta, Georgia, we have extensive experience working with victims of personal injury.
Consistent with our conservative, yet aggressive, approach to litigation, we will begin our representation with a thorough investigation of the facts involved in your case and exhaustive research into your legal remedies. If, upon completing our investigation, we believe it is in your best interests to settle before trial, we will tell you. If we believe that your case is best suited for trial before a judge and jury, we will thoroughly prepare and zealously argue your case.
Car Accidents, Truck Accidents and Motorcycle Accidents
We represent victims of all types of personal injury, including:
- car, truck, pedestrian and motorcycle accidents
- negligently maintained property or premises
- dangerous or defective products
- medical malpractice
- wrongful death
Victims of car accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents are entitled to compensation for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent injury or disfigurement. Sometimes punitive damages are appropriate if aggravating circumstances were involved, such as D.U.I.
Premises Liability
In Georgia, a property owner has a duty to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition, or at least to warn individuals of a dangerous condition that the owner caused or about which the owner had knowledge or reasonably should have knowledge. Injuries from negligently maintained property often take the form of “slip and fall” accidents. At Kaufman, Miller & Sivertsen, P.C., we have extensive experience representing the victims of injuries suffered from negligently maintained property.
Brain Injuries
Recovery from a traumatic brain injury is often a lifelong process. Open and closed traumatic brain injuries cause physical, cognitive, social, and vocational changes. With the strategic use of economic, vocational and medical expert testimony, we can effectively demonstrate the extent of any brain injury.
At Kaufman, Miller & Sivertsen, P.C., we represent individuals throughout all of Georgia, including Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Cherokee, Bartow, Dawson, Forsyth, Henry, Fayette, Rockdale, Douglas, Paulding and Hall counties, and the communities of Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Decatur, Roswell, Marietta, Alpharetta, Duluth, Norcross, Woodstock, Canton, Cumming, Smyrna, Vinings, Lawrenceville, Conyers, Stone Mountain, Jonesboro, and the Atlanta metro area.
