Jarrett & Price – Personal Injury Attorneys Serving Whitemarsh Island, Georgia

Car Accidents

If you have been in a car accident in Georgia, you may be entitled to compensation for damages. These damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. To recover these damages, you will need to file an auto accident claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company or file a lawsuit against them. Depending on the facts of your situation, it is important to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

Car Accidents and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Car accidents can result in a variety of injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI). A TBI can be caused by a blow or jolt to the head, and symptoms range from mild to severe. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, memory problems, and changes in mood or behavior. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you may have a TBI, as early treatment can improve outcomes.

If you have suffered a TBI in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our injury attorneys can help you navigate the legal process and work to get you the compensation you deserve. We work with medical experts to gather evidence that supports and documents the severity of the TBI and how it has affected your ability to work and enjoy life. We also work with economists to calculate the financial impact of the injury, including medical expenses, lost wages, and potential future medical needs.

Insurance companies will try to minimize how much they have to pay a person suffering from a TBI. They will dispute the severity of the injury or claim that your symptoms were pre-existing conditions. We are familiar with the tactics used by insurance companies and can negotiate on your behalf to ensure that you receive a fair settlement that adequately compensates you for your injuries. If necessary, we can also take the case to trial to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. TBIs are often a hidden injury. When you are suffering from such an injury as a result of a, accident, you know you are injured and so does everyone you are close to. Those injuries deserve compensation. The experience personal injury attorneys at Jarrett & Price will hold the insurance companies and the at-fault drivers accountable.

DUI Accidents

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious crime in Georgia, and if a drunk driver causes an accident, they may be liable for punitive damages. Punitive damages are meant to punish the at-fault driver for their actions and to deter them and others from similar behavior in the future. Punitive damages can be substantial and may be awarded in addition to other types of damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Distracted Driving vs. DUI

Distracted driving and DUI are two very common causes of car accidents in Whitemarsh Island, GA. While they may seem different on the surface, there are some similarities between the two. Both distracted driving and DUI involve impaired driving and can result in serious accidents that cause injuries or fatalities.

Distracted driving can include activities such as texting, talking on the phone, eating, or adjusting the radio. These distractions can take a driver’s attention away from the road and increase the risk of an accident. Similarly, DUI can impair a driver’s ability to make good decisions and react quickly to changes on the road. Many people discount the impact of distracted driving, but according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,522 people were killed as a result of distracted driving in 2021.

Both distracted driving and DUI are preventable, and drivers have a responsibility to operate their vehicles safely. If you have been injured in a car accident caused by a distracted or impaired driver, the personal injury attorneys at Jarrett & Price will help you pursue compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents can be particularly devastating due to the lack of protection afforded to riders. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in motorcycle accident cases and can help you seek compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages. Proving fault in a motorcycle accident claim can be challenging due to biases against motorcycle riders and the lack of physical evidence in some cases. Motorcycle accidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities, and insurance companies may try to shift blame onto the rider or argue that the rider assumed the risk of riding a motorcycle.

However, at Jarrett & Price, we have the knowledge and experience to investigate motorcycle accidents thoroughly. We will gather the evidence and work with accident reconstruction experts to build a strong case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Trucking Accidents

Trucking accident claims can be particularly complex due to the many parties that may be involved, including the trucking company, the driver, and the owner of the cargo. Additionally, trucking companies and their insurers often have teams of lawyers working to protect their interests. It is important to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Boating Accidents

As personal injury attorneys serving Whitemarsh Island, we have seen that boating accidents can be just as traumatic as car accidents. Boating accident claims are also unique for several reasons. Unlike motor vehicle accidents, boating accidents often occur on open water, which can complicate the investigation process. Boating accidents can also involve a variety of watercraft, and the laws and regulations governing these different types of watercraft may vary, which can make it more challenging to determine liability.

Finally, boating accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including operator error, equipment failure, and hazardous water conditions. It may be necessary to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the accident and identify all responsible parties. As personal injury attorneys serving Whitemarsh Island, we at Jarrett & Price understand the unique challenges that come with boating accident cases. We will help you navigate the legal system and pursue the compensation you deserve.
