While insurance companies make $30 billion a year in profits, their insurance adjusters are actually trained to delay and deny claims and are handsomely rewarded for doing so.

When you are involved in a car accident, you fully expect your insurance company to honor your claim. Unfortunately, many people tell of having tremendous difficulties when dealing with their insurance companies.

There are some steps you can take to make the insurance claims process smoother and less daunting. Immediately after an accident, call 911 and/or the police in your area, and then contact your insurance company. Take photos of the accident scene and any injuries. Keep track of any expenditures you incur related to your claim. Do not admit fault and do not give a recorded statement.

An experienced car accident attorney with the knowledge and training to properly and effectively represent your interests can make a real difference in the outcome of your claim.

A wrongful death claim asserts a person has died due to the negligence or actions of another, and the victim’s survivors are entitled to compensation as a result of the death.

One of the most common causes of wrongful death is medical malpractice. Medical malpractice refers to errors or mistakes that occur in a medical context that result in injuries or death to the patient. Healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities can all be held legally responsible for medical malpractice.

Medical malpractice is the third most prominent cause of death in this country, with heart disease and cancer in the lead. Over a quarter of a million Americans die every year as a result of medical malpractice. The misdiagnosis of breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, heart attack and appendicitis are the five diseases or conditions cited most in medical malpractice allegations. Misdiagnosis results in delayed treatment or possibly the wrong treatment, often resulting in a wrongful death.

A wrongful death leaves those left behind to cope with a devastating situation, emotionally, financially and legally. The laws involved in wrongful death cases are very complex, and the statute of limitations varies from state to state.

If you live in Atlanta, Georgia or the surrounding area and someone you love was the victim of a wrongful death, please contact the Atlanta office of Robbins & Associates, P.C. today to schedule a confidential consultation at no cost to you with an experienced wrongful death attorney to protect your legal rights and obtain for you the compensation you are entitled to.

Motorcycle accidents historically involve a high rate of injuries and fatalities even though motorcyclists represent a minority of drivers. Since motorcycles do not have the weight of an automobile, or safety features such as a roof, airbags or seatbelts, motorcyclists sustain more serious injuries and more fatalities than those involved in car accidents. As a matter of fact, approximately 98% of all motorcycle accidents result in injuries or death.

Over 80% of motor vehicle accidents involving a motorcycle are not the motorcyclist’s fault. Motorcycle accidents are usually the result of the limited visibility of the motorcyclist to other drivers, road hazards, such as potholes or uneven pavement, motorcycle defects and adverse weather conditions.

If you were involved in a motorcycle accident due to the negligence of another driver, a defective motorcycle or hazardous road conditions, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney who understands the unique problems encountered by those involved in motorcycle accidents, will be very beneficial to you. An attorney who specializes in motorcycle accidents will be able to obtain the best results possible for you.

If you live in Atlanta, Georgia or the surrounding area and you or someone you care about was injured or killed in a motorcycle accident, please contact the Atlanta office of Robbins & Associates, P.Cs. today to schedule a confidential consultation with an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, at no cost to you, to protect your legal rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

Pedestrians and car accidents are a serious problem in the United States. Pedestrian car accidents happen with the most frequency in urban areas where pedestrian activity and traffic are greater when compared to rural or suburban areas of the country.

Over 65% of car accidents involving pedestrians occur at non-intersections. This is especially true for those under 9 years of age because of the propensity of this age group to run out into the street without looking. Pedestrians 65 years of age or older are more likely to be injured or killed at intersections. Older pedestrians have some diminished visual and physical abilities that make crossing a street a challenging proposition at times.

Fatal pedestrian accidents occur typically between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. when darkness and alcohol use become factors. Speeding is another major factor in pedestrian accidents.
Speeding has devastating consequences when a pedestrian is involved. A pedestrian who is hit at a high rate of speed has an 85% chance of being killed. Drivers are also less likely to see a pedestrian and even less likely to avoid hitting one when traveling at a high speed.

If you live in Atlanta, Georgia or the surrounding area and you or someone you love was injured or killed in a pedestrian car accident, please contact the Atlanta office of Robbins & Associates, P.C. today to schedule a confidential consultation with an experienced pedestrian car accident attorney at no cost to you to protect your legal rights.

Driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a major cause of car accidents in this country. Legally obtained prescription medications also can affect a driver’s ability to drive safely.

Every two minutes someone is injured or killed in an alcohol or drug related motor vehicle accident in the United States. Alcohol or drugs are involved in over 40% of all fatal car accidents. Over 1.5 million people are arrested each year nationwide for driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Alcohol, sleeping pills, muscle relaxants and other depressants impair and distort vision, affect motor skills and slow reaction times enough to cause a serious and deadly accident.

Lives are devastated by people driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The decision to drive while impaired is a choice many people make without thinking of the consequences. An experienced car accident attorney will be able to make certain you get the compensation you are entitled to if you have been the victim of an impaired driver.

If you live in Atlanta, Georgia or the surrounding area, and you or someone you care about has been the victim of an impaired driver, please contact the Atlanta office of Robbins & Associates, P.C. today to schedule a confidential consultation at no cost to you with an experienced car accident lawyer to protect your legal rights.
