Hit and run
This was a tragic case that started out as a hit and run. Our client was passing two vehicles(not illegal) that were traveling very slow when the middle vehicle also decided to pass. The middle vehicle hit our client, knocked him off the road, and then continued down the road without stopping. Later, the state patrol was able to identify damages to our client’s vehicle that would’ve been consistent with being hit by the wheel of a commercial box truck. The state patrol was able to track the exact truck down and prosecute the driver. We were able to secure a good settlement for our client to compensate for the injuries and damages to our client and his wife.

Viar v. Decatur County (federal civil rights case-stroke after jail abuse)
This case involved severe excessive force by a south GA police force that led to our client being unable to walk. This South Georgia county only had $500,000 of insurance, but we were able to secure a structured settlement to be paid out over many years that had a value to the client of $1.2 million. Our client was able to purchase a pick up truck he can drive with his hands and build a fully handicap accessible house. They settlement funds didn’t bring him back the use of his legs, but made his life much better with his disability, and gave him back much of his independence.
