Areas of Law Description

Chambers, Aholt & Rickard, LLP, is dedicated to helping people who have been harmed through the wrongdoing of others. We welcome your inquiry regarding any of the following legal issues:

- Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice claims and lawsuits can arise when people are injured by negligent or intentional acts of a doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, podiatrist, hospital, or other healthcare provider. When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury and may be made to pay the injured person compensatory damages. Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured. We recognize that injuries such as the following that result from medical malpractice can be severe and life altering:

• Anesthesia injuries or death
• Birth injuries and obstetrical malpractice
• Serious surgical mistakes and malpractice
• Diagnosis and monitoring errors
• Medication and pharmacy errors

- Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Each year thousands of senior citizens are abused, neglected and exploited in nursing homes and other elder care facilities. Many victims are frail and vulnerable and cannot help themselves, depending on others to meet their most basic needs. Knowing the warning signs of abuse is a first step toward protecting elderly friends or relatives. Sometimes residents of long term care facilities may sustain physical injuries from falls or abuse. In other instances, neglect can cause dehydration and malnutrition or infections from untreated bed sores. Nursing home abuse and neglect includes:

• Falls and Negligent Supervision
• Bed Sores and Pressure Ulcers

- Products Liability

Products liability is an area of personal injury law that focuses on dangerous and defective products. Our firm represents plaintiffs in Georgia in matters against corporations or manufacturers who have sold or manufactured defective or unsafe products to consumers. "Products" in this instance cover a wide range of categories, including:

• Dangerous-Drugs
• DePuy Hip Replacement Failures

- Car accident

Our firm represents clients who have suffered serious personal injuries or property damage in automobile, motorcycle or truck accidents in the Georgia. Such motor vehicle accidents include those involving drunk or hit-and-run drivers, fatigued or incompetent drivers, uninsured or underinsured drivers, as well as accidents occurring from motor vehicle, SUV and semi-tractor trailer collisions and rollovers. We also represent those injured in car accidents, collisions or crashes resulting from defective products or design in automobiles and trucks, such as defective seatbelts, tires or gas tanks.

- Motorcycle Accident

A motorcyclist has the same legal right to occupy a full lane of traffic that a driver of a car does. A motorcycle can be seen and should be seen on the road. In our book, a failure to see a motorcycle is evidence of failure to keep a proper lookout. Many of our clients have suffered very serious injuries and losses, including:

• Broken bones
• Amputations
• Head injury (traumatic brain injury)
• Road rash (skin injury)
• Back and neck injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Internal organ injuries
• Loss of a loved one to fatal injuries

- Trucking Accident

Our firm represents clients in Georgia, who have suffered personal injuries or property damage from collisions involving motor carriers, common carriers and other operators of large trucks and motor vehicles. Such accidents include those involving fatigued or incompetent drivers, as well as accidents occurring from improperly maintained trucks or tractor-trailer rigs speeding down the road due to a misplaced concern about a late delivery.

- Premises Liability

When an accident or injury occurs to a visitor or tenant living on another person's property, owners of the property may be liable (legally responsible) if it can be proved that their negligence led to the injury. If you've suffered an injury of this type which you believe may be a result the negligence of another person, you may be able to file a lawsuit to recover the costs involved to pay for your medical bills, any lost earnings or other pain, disfigurement, emotional distress or permanent physical disability you have suffered. Injuries on properties can include those from:

Slip and fall accidents in stores, office buildings, hotels and apartment complexes
Dog bites
Exposure to toxic or hazardous substances such as lead or mold
Assault, battery, rape or sexual assault
Serious injuries suffered in bars and nightclubs

- Insurance Matters

Insurance contracts can be complicated and difficult to understand. They are often written by insurance companies for their protection rather than yours. These contracts frequently impose important conditions and duties on policyholders which can become obstacles to obtaining benefits. Disputes can also arise as to what is covered under the policy and what is excluded. Therefore, in any significant dispute with an insurance company, it is important to consult with an experienced lawyer early in the process.

- Serious Injury

Chambers, Aholt & Rickard, LLP handles a variety of serious injury or death cases arising from auto or trucking accidents, nursing home abuse and/or neglect, medical malpractice, or defective and unsafe products. Our experience dealing with insurance companies gives us a unique insight to effectively handle personal injury claims.

- Wrongful Death

Wrongful death as a legal term is a death that has been caused by the negligence, recklessness or fault of another person. For example, deaths caused by drunk driving, the manufacture or sale of a defective or dangerous product, the construction of an unsound structure or building, or failing to diagnose or properly treat a serious disease may be considered under the law as "wrongful deaths."

- Workers' Compensation

If you were injured on the job in Georgia, you should talk to a lawyer with in-depth knowledge and experience helping injured workers in this state to obtain maximum compensation. After a workplace accident, you may assume — and you may be told — that your sole legal remedy is a workers' compensation claim. The workers' compensation program is intended to provide a safety net for injured workers while protecting employers from excessive injury claims.
