Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation Cases in Macon Georgia

serious injury can turn your life upside down in the blink of an eye. We live in a world full of uncertainty, but there is no excuse for the type of carelessness that leads to life-altering injuries. When someone else is responsible for the harm you or a loved one suffers, you have the right to take legal action. A lawsuit cannot take away the pain and long-term effects of an accident or injury, but it can provide you with a sense of justice and the financial compensation you need to recover and move forward with your life. At Nelson & Smith, we believe personal injury law is about more than winning cases – it’s about helping families in Middle Georgia overcome some of the most difficult times of their lives.

Types of Personal Injury Cases:

There are three basic elements in any personal injury. To secure a settlement, a plaintiff must prove:

  1. The defendant owed the injured person a reasonable duty of care (e.g., all drivers on the road are responsible for following the rules of the road),
  2. The defendant failed to act in accordance with that duty (he or she acted negligently), and
  3. The negligent action led directly to a victim’s serious injury.

In the vast majority of cases, an injured individual has two years from the time of the incident or the discovery of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you or a loved one is injured, contact our Macon Personal Injury Lawyers as soon as possible. A free consultation can help you determine if filing a lawsuit is the best course of action in your case. The sooner your injury attorney starts working on your case, the better your chances are for securing fair compensation.

Nelson & Smith: Experience, Expertise, and Compassion in Macon, Georgia

At Nelson & Smith, Macon Personal Injury Lawyers, we handle only serious accident and injury cases. This allows us to support each of our clients with the care they need to obtain a successful outcome. Our team has a history of success in representing thousands of clients. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients to cover the full extent of loss and suffering associated with injuries. With our representation, you may secure economic damages to cover, financial loss, non-economic damages to cover pain and suffering and other intangible losses, and punitive damages designed to punish the defendant.

We take cases on a contingency fee basis, which means our clients do not pay for our services unless we secure a settlement. This fee structure allows us to take on the cases we believe in and does not diminish the level of support our Macon personal injury attorneys provide. Each client has access to a qualified attorney throughout the case. If you need someone to drive out to your location for a consultation or to answer your questions, you will always have direct access to your attorney, not a legal assistant.
