Common Types of Cases Our Mableton Injury Lawyers Handle

Car Accidents

Throughout the last couple of years, the number of traffic accidents has increased considerably. Nearly 35,000 collisions occurred in 2016 alone, and approximately 25% of them resulted in injuries. I-78 seems to be the most dangerous road in the area. However, quite a few collisions occur on the small and crowded streets downtown.

Georgia laws protect accident victims by enabling them to seek compensation for their injuries. However, the burden of proof falls on the claimant and proving accident liability is not easy. The policemen investigating accidents do not really care about the legal implications of their report. That is why our Mableton car accident lawyers always conduct their own investigations and gather additional evidence.

Truck Accidents

Although Mableton sees less heavy traffic than other Atlanta suburbs, truck accidents still happen. Many of them are caused by drowsy or distracted drivers. Sometimes, the fault belongs to the trucking companies who try to cut down maintenance costs. Truck repair companies and part suppliers may be at fault as well.

To determine and prove accident liability, our Mableton truck accidents attorneys perform thorough investigations. They check the driver’s schedule and driving records, and they inspect the truck for defects. They know the rules and regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Administration by heart. This means they eventually uncover how accidents occurred and who was responsible.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents account for nearly 10% of the traffic fatalities in Cobb County. They also cause some of the most serious injuries. Sometimes, the motorcyclists cause the accident by taking over vehicles in their own lane. They often ride more than two abreast, speed, or neglect to yield right of way. However, more often than not, they are the victims and the ones who incur the highest losses.

Many drivers still ignore their presence and rights in traffic, performing dangerous maneuvers. Our team of accident attorneys includes experienced motorcycle accident lawyers. Upon analyzing the details of a case, they will easily identify the party at fault. If given a chance, they will prove their findings and obtain fair compensation for their client.

Bicycle Accidents

There are few bicycle accidents in Mableton, at least fewer than in other areas of Cobb County. However, when they do occur, their consequences are often devastating. They cause severe injuries, even disability, or, worse, death. Our bicycle accident lawyers have made it their mission to defend bicyclists and help them recover their losses.

To succeed, they use any resources and clues they have available. They often turn to traffic recordings, witnesses, experts, accident reconstructions, and similar cases. They investigate, analyze, and investigate some more to prove their client’s case. They only stop when they see their client fully compensated for their losses and suffering.

Workers’ Compensation

In Mableton, not all employers realize the importance of workplace health and safety. Our workers’ comp lawyers have discovered this the hard way. We have seen people injured by malfunctioning equipment or by negligent, untrained colleagues. We have also seen employers allow dangerous workplace conditions and inadequate equipment.

We believe all employees have the right to work in a safe and healthy environment. When that does not happen, we make sure they receive compensation for any harm caused to them. Sometimes, a complaint with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation is all it takes. Other times, the negotiations take months or even end in court. What matters is that our clients receive all the benefits the law entitles them to.

Uber Accidents

Advertised as safe and affordable, rideshare services are not always what they claim to be. Due to a lack of personnel, Uber often accepts inexperienced drivers. When these cause accidents, their huge insurance companies coverage should step in. However, an injured passenger battling an army of experienced accident lawyers does not stand a chance.

It takes experienced and dedicated Uber accident attorneys like ours to even the odds. At Schneider Hammers, we do not care who we have to fight to defend our clients’ interests. We work hard, conduct investigations, complete paperwork, follow formalities, and go to court if we have to. We only rest when we see the money in our clients’ hand or bank account.

Slip and Fall Accidents

When people cross the threshold of a Mableton shopping center, they do not expect to get injured. Unfortunately, it happens quite often. The exact location does not really matter. It could be Mableton Crossing, Ragan Plaza, Lithia Springs, or Mableton Crossing. What matters is whether their injury occurred due to someone’s negligence.

A wet floor, a water leak, or a liquid spill can qualify as negligence. Anyone slipping and falling in such conditions may be entitled to compensation. Of course, they will need to prove the conditions that led to their fall. They should also expect the defendant to blame them for the fall. It is a common strategy to save money. Luckily, our Mableton slip-and-fall accident lawyers have their own strategies to counteract such accusations.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death occurs when one person loses their life due to another person or entity’s actions. Those actions can be negligent or intentional. They may cause death directly or severe injuries that become fatal. When that happens, the party at fault should compensate the deceased’s family and/or estate for their losses.

Unfortunately, wrongful death claims are extremely painful and complicated. The claimants are the ones who need to prove how the wrongful death occurred. This means reliving their loss and following procedures and formalities they know nothing about. Working with an experienced Mableton wrongful death lawyeris the best way to avoid hassles.

Premises Liability

Under premises liability law, property owners or managers have the duty to keep their property safe. If they cannot eliminate dangerous conditions, they should at least warn visitors about their existence. Dog bites, slip and falls, falling object injuries and construction site accidents fall under this law. Depending on whether they are invitees, licensees, or trespassers, victims have different rights.

Those who incurred injuries on someone else’s property should consult a Mableton premises liability lawyer. This way, they will find out exactly what their rights and options are and how to pursue them. Our accident and injury lawyers in Mableton have handled numerous premises liability. They gladly advise and represent injured victims in need of their services.

Medical Malpractice

Sometimes, patients receive the wrong treatment or inadequate care. Healthcare providers make mistakes that negatively affect their patients’ health and well being. When it happens, the patients have the right to seek compensation. It goes without saying that they will need to prove the malpractice. For this purpose, they will need to supply an expert’s affidavit.

Experienced malpractice attorneys are able to recognize medical errors from a distance. They have their own lists of experts they can consult their own investigation methods. With one of them on your side, it does not matter if you are suing a doctor, a nurse, or the hospital. You’ll find some of the most experienced and dedicated malpractice lawyers in Mableton at Schneider Hammers.

Nursing Home Abuse

When instead of care and comfort elders receive neglect and abuse, it is important to take action. One goal is to prevent the party at fault from harming others. Another one is to compensate for the suffering of the abused victim. No matter the case details, nursing home abuse lawyers can help.

At Schneider Hammers, our attorneys are well trained in recognizing and proving nursing home abuse. They have defended the rights and dignity of many elders in our community. With their help, abused seniors and their loved ones can regain their comfort and peace of mind. They can also receive compensation for the physical and emotional torment they endured.

Pedestrian Accidents

Not even crossing the street through marked areas is safe these days. Accidents happen when you expect them the least. Pedestrians are the most exposed to injuries. On foot, with no cars, airbags, or helmets to protect them, they are the most vulnerable traffic participants. When their injuries are due to another party’s negligence, they should recover their losses.

Unfortunately, having the right to compensation and actually obtaining it are different things. Georgia laws guarantee the right. However, the compensation often depends on the skills of the pedestrian accident lawyer claiming it. Luckily, at Schneider Hammers, we have experienced and dedicated attorneys who always succeed on all types of personal injury cases.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries are among the most dangerous and difficult to get over. They are extremely painful, and their treatment often involves invasive procedures. In many cases, they leave deep permanent scars. Putting a price on those scars and the hurt of the person bearing them is impossible.

However, those responsible for the injuries have to pay. Also, the victim deserves compensation for their expenses and suffering. That is what motivates our Mableton burn injury lawyers. Each case is a chance to discourage negligence for one party and bring comfort and justice to the other one.
