Hit and Runs: The Road to Recovery

By Grant Law Office on September 28, 2020

There is nothing more gut-wrenching than watching the person who just collided with your car speed away without even bothering to check if you were injured. That kind of carelessness and cruelty can have a severe impact on your life, especially if you are already in a difficult financial situation. Many of us live paycheck to paycheck, and when we are involved in an accident, we rely on the insurance provider of the at-fault driver to pay for our medical bills, time away from work, and damage done to our vehicle. So, what do you do when said at-fault driver flees the accident?Read more…

Victims may experience cramping, pins and needles, or stabbing, crushing, throbbing, or burning pain that feels as if it is located in the missing body part.Read more…

Negligent Security: Don’t Let Your Landlord Off the Hook

By Grant Law Office on July 28, 2020

Negligent security on a property falls under the legal concept of premises liability. In Georgia, property owners, landlords, and business owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for others—people invited onto the premises, such as customers, patrons, and tenants. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for resulting injuries in a premises liability claim for compensation.

The duty to maintain safe premises extends to protecting invitees from injury caused by criminal acts committed by third parties on the property. A tenant who is injured in a criminal assault on a property may have a negligent security claim against the landlord.Read more…

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and Football: A Dangerous Mix

By Grant Law Office on May 28, 2020

When your body is stopped mid-motion, like when it is flung forward in a car accident or during a tackle on the football field, your brain doesn’t stop moving until it has hit the inside of your skull. The impact can result in brain damage, and if this motion happens enough times it can result in degeneration, otherwise known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This degeneration can leave a person’s life in shambles and, since it can only be diagnosed during an autopsy, you may not even know you’re suffering from it.Read more…
