Not all personal injury attorneys are alike. Roberts Tate is a litigation law firm, and it’s important to remember that while some accident cases are settled without a trial, every personal injury lawsuit should be prepared for trial. Many lawyers run personal injury “mills” taking a high volume of cases and settling most out of court. Any lawyer can settle a $2 Million case for $1 Million. The effective personal injury lawyer will maximize your results.
Every case is different. The personal injury attorneys at Roberts Tate, LLC are trial lawyers; we will prepare your case for trial and work diligently to ensure that you receive full compensation. It is important to have a litigation firm on your side to fight for your rights. We can help you get compensation for medical bills, repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We know how to protect your rights and we are ready to
fight for you!
Auto/Motorcycle/Boating Accidents
We are committed to helping injured drivers, passengers, and pedestrians understand their legal rights and how they may be able to obtain compensation to cover damages such as medical bills and lost wages.
Tractor-Trailer/ 18 Wheeler Accidents
Accidents with large trucks such as semis, fuel tankers and tractor-trailers can lead to extremely serious injuries for Georgia motorists and pedestrians. Often such accidents are fatal, but for those who survive they are often left to struggle with lifelong disabilities resulting from the accident. The worst part of these types of accidents is that the majority of truck accidents are due to the driver or truck company’s negligence.
Georgia has numerous laws in place that regulate commercial vehicle operation, but some truck drivers refuse to abide by these laws and commit traffic violations that put other motorists and pedestrians in danger. Truck drivers often drive long hours and become fatigued behind the wheel. Others speed to make delivery deadlines. Some drivers on the road are under-trained, while others may operate under the influence of alcohol or drugs. For truck companies, the cost of maintaining their fleet is often disregarded and equipment is not kept running properly in order to prevent an accident.
If you or a loved one has been hurt or if you have lost someone due to a collision with a commercial vehicle, we can help protect your rights.
Injuries on the Job
Workers’ compensation insurance was created to compensate employees who are injured while on the job. However, when workers suffer potentially serious or permanent injury, a workers’ compensation attorney should be consulted to make sure property compensation is provided.
The State of Georgia requires employers to pay for workers compensation insurance, but it is the insurance companies who process the claims, and as with other insurance claims processing, the process can be confusing and difficult to navigate. Injured workers are often faced with claims denial, lost wages, pressure to return to work too soon, as well as other unfair treatment during the claims process.
At Roberts Tate, we represent workers injured on the job by expertly handling all processes in order to ensure that our clients receive just compensation for medical treatment, lost wages and pain and suffering. We handle all medical records requests, complete all necessary paperwork for claims and attend all hearings on a client’s behalf allowing you to return to your original job without fear of retaliation.
Slips and Falls/Premises Liability
Public businesses such as shopping centers, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes and government buildings have a duty to maintain their property. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident caused by a poorly maintained property, you deserve to be compensated for the damages you suffer.
At Roberts Tate, LLC, we protect the rights and represent the interests of clients who are injured in slip and fall accidents. As litigators, we are prepared to take your case to court, if necessary. Give us a call today in order to preserve your rights. We will be happy to review your case for free to determine the extent of your injuries and your claim.
Nursing Home Abuse
As our loved ones grow older, we want to make sure they receive proper care and medical attention. A Senior Care Facility or Nursing Home is often the only choice families have when it comes to looking after an elderly relative, and unfortunately, the elderly are vulnerable when it
comes to abuse.
