At the Studstill Firm, LLP, commitment, compassion and the pursuit of excellence have always been the keys to our success. Whether you have been involved in a serious car wreck, hurt on the job, experienced catastrophic personal injury, or lost a loved one, we will take your case seriously.

We firmly believe in accountability for negligent acts or conduct that causes harm to others or takes someone's life.

Our lawyers have a passion that drives us to help people who need help. We believe that the focus of our practice should be on serving our clients and helping them through their tragedy and life-changing events. We believe the best way to serve our clients is to listen and communicate with them, fully explain options and offer guidance for important decisions.

Practice Areas Description

- Personal Injury

Our lawyers handle all types of catastrophic injury cases. Some of the more common cases involve:

• Spinal cord injuries and Back injury
• Neck injury and whiplash
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Burns
• Amputation

In addition to handling cases involving serious injuries, we can represent the families of wrongful death victims.

- Truck Accidents

In our Georgia commercial trucking accident practice, we have seen too many instances where the trucking company, their insurance company and their lawyers rush to the accident scene before the crashed vehicles are even towed away. They are there to gather evidence to dispute a valid claim and try to limit the amount of money they will have to pay to accident victims. Therefore, accident victims and their families are at a disadvantage because they didn't have a Macon lawyer at the accident scene protecting their legal rights.

This disadvantage can be overcome by a skilled Macon truck accident lawyer. The attorneys at the Studstill Firm, LLP know how to protect your rights and obtain maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses, property damage and other losses as well as compensation for pain and suffering caused by the collision. Even after deducting attorney fees, the net recovery for an individual who is represented by a Valdosta attorney in a truck accident case will be greater than for an individual who tries to handle the insurance company alone.

- Motorcycle Accidents

If you or someone you care about has been involved in a motorcycle accident, it is important to know that the victims of these accidents have the same legal rights as the victims of any other motor vehicle accident. You can take action against the negligent driver to pursue justice and compensation. At the law offices of the Studstill Firm, LLP, we have more than 30 years of experience that we use for the benefit of motorcycle accident victims in Macon, Tifton, Perry, Nashville and the surrounding areas. We have the experience to know how to quickly and effectively build personal injury cases that are designed to get results.

- Bicycle/Pedestrian Accidents

Have you or someone you care about been hit by a car while walking or riding a bike? Pedestrians and bicyclists have the right to take action against the negligent or careless driver that caused the collision and to recover compensation for their injuries, losses, medical expenses and pain and suffering. The Georgia injury attorneys at the Studstill Firm, LLP can help victims of pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents obtain justice and the compensation they deserve. To achieve that goal, we work tirelessly, drawing from more than 30 years of experience helping accident victims and families in Middle Georgia and South Georgia.

- Car Accidents

Whether the auto accident was caused by a drunk driver, a driver on a cell phone, a defective car part, road construction defects, carelessness or any other reason, you need an experienced Valdosta injury lawyer to protect your legal rights and to help you obtain the full cash value for your injuries, losses, pain and suffering, medical expenses and lost wages. Our attorneys are available to discuss your car accident case for free.

- Single Car Accidents

Single car crashes can be complex cases. Few attorneys are even aware of the possibility of taking action on behalf of an injured victim. These cases require the attention of an experienced Georgia auto accident attorney who knows how to carefully review all of the factors surrounding the crash and to determine who was really at fault. A Macon car accident lawyer at the Studstill Firm, LLP has that knowledge. Car accident victims in Macon, Tifton, Valdosta, Nashville and the surrounding areas of Georgia turn to us because we bring more than 30 years of experience to every car wreck case we handle. They turn to us because we get results.

- Wrongful Death

If you have lost a family member in a fatal accident, we are truly sorry for your loss. At the Studstill Firm, LLP, we understand that this is the one of the most difficult times you will ever face. We also understand that financial compensation is never enough to make up for the premature loss of a family member. Still, we believe in accountability. We believe in finding the person or business that caused your family member's untimely death. We believe in holding them responsible for their actions.

- Slip & Fall

Frequently the property owner is responsible for the injuries resulting from a slip and fall. However, it may also be someone less obvious - like a company who provides a service to the facility like janitorial services or property management. The personal injury Macon attorneys at the Studstill Firm, LLP will thoroughly investigate the incident and uncover hidden facts and information to determine who is at fault. Then we will aggressively pursue your slip and fall claim to obtain the full cash value for your injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages and other losses.

- Animal Attacks

Regardless of the type or breed of animal involved, if you have been attacked by an animal or bitten by a dog, you may be able to recover compensation for your personal injuries. A dog bite lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation into the dog's background to determine whether this dog has a history of aggressive behavior. If a dog bites, it is likely that the dog has bitten before. Also, a dog bite attorney will research local city and county leash laws, fencing laws, and other codes that may have been violated by a careless dog owner.

- Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

At the Studstill Firm, LLP, our attorneys in Macon are well aware of what happens in nursing homes in Georgia. Unfortunately, too many nursing home and elder care facilities are more interested in making profits than they are in providing quality care to their residents and keeping them safe. We fight to hold these nursing facilities accountable when residents are the victims of abuse and neglect. Our lawyers handle all types of Valdosta nursing home abuse litigation.

- Drunk Driving Accidents

As the victim of a drunk driving accident, or the relative of a loved one who has been killed by a drunk driver, you have the right to hold the drunk driver accountable for the injuries or death that their negligence and carelessness caused. Our auto accident lawyers can pursue a drunk driving accident claim and obtain financial compensation for:

• Personal injuries (which may include spinal cord injury, neck injury and whiplash, brain injury, burns, amputation, blindness, and permanent disability)
• Wrongful death
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage

- Defective Products

Most products that consumers use can be dangerous if they are not designed safely or manufactured properly. Our lawyers handle cases involving personal injuries or wrongful death from many types of defective products, including:

• Defective bike helmets
• Car defects and other motor vehicle defects
• Defective toys and products for children
• Defective power tools
• Defective ATVs
• Medical device defects
• Defective prescription and non-prescription drugs

- Accidents Involving Children

While children may be the victim of any type of negligence, from car accidents to medical malpractice, there are certain accidents that are more likely to impact children, such as:

• Dog bites and animal attacks
• Defective car seats
• Defective toys
• Swimming pool accidents and drowning

The Georgia accident lawyers at the Studstill Firm, LLP have the experience and resources to successfully pursue a negligence claim for the injuries or death of your child. We will aggressively pursue your claim to obtain the full cash value for your child's injuries, pain and suffering, medical expenses, future medical needs, lost wages and other losses.

- Premises Liability

Our lawyers handle all types of premises liability cases in Macon, Warner Robins, Moultrie, Quitman and the surrounding parts of Georgia. Some of the more common cases involve:

• Slip and fall (and trip and fall)
• Criminal attacks resulting from inadequate security (assault, rape, shooting or other violent attacks)
• Falls on escalators or stairs
• Falls due to hidden hazards (broken stairs, holes in the floor, broken stair railing)
• Dog bites and animal attacks
• Swimming pool accidents
• Structural defects in buildings (holes in the floor, collapsing ceilings, broken stairs)
• Unmarked stepdowns
• Construction accidents

- Workers’ Compensation

In Georgia, an injured worker cannot sue their employer for injuries on the job. However, there are other sources to obtain compensation for the workplace injury. One is through workers' compensation (or worker's comp) insurance. The lawyers at the Studstill Firm, LLP can help you file your workers' comp claim and help you get the workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to. Another source of compensation for workplace injuries is through a lawsuit against another person or company (a third party) whose negligence or fault contributed to the accident. By thoroughly investigating your workplace accident, the lawyers at the Studstill Firm, LLP can determine who is responsible and help you obtain full compensation for your personal injuries or wrongful death.

- Medical Malpractice

Our lawyers handle all types of medical malpractice cases in Georgia. Some of the more common medical mistakes involve:

• Birth injuries (such as shoulder dystocia, Erb's palsy or cerebral palsy)
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of life-threatening conditions (cancer, meningitis, encephalitis, myocardial ischemia/heart attacks and others)
• Failure to promptly treat a condition
• Surgical mistakes (which may result in spinal cord injuries or other serious injuries)
• Medication errors
• Wrongful death

- Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices

If you or a loved one have been taking a prescription or over-the-counter drug or medication and have experienced side effects, including stroke, seizure, heart attack, etc., you are encouraged to talk with an experienced pharmaceutical lawyer who can evaluate your case. At the Studstill Firm, LLP, consultations are free and all of our defective drug and medical device cases are handled on a contingent fee – this means there are no attorneys' fees or expenses until there is a recovery.
