Here are some of our successful personal injury case examples:
- Slip & Fall/Reversal by Georgia Supreme Court: Jones v. Ingles Markets, Inc., 231 Ga. App. 338 (1998). The client was injured in Winder, Georgia when she slipped on a puddle of liquid on the grocery store’s floor. The trial court would not let the case go to a jury and held that as a matter of law the client failed to exercise ordinary care because she admitted that she could have seen the puddle of clear liquid if she had looked at the floor where she was walking. Attorney Robert McFarland was able to obtain a reversal by the Supreme Court of the trial court’s decision which was upheld by the Georgia Court of Appeals. This reversal led to a settlement with the insurance company. Prior to the reversal, no settlement offers were made.
- Tractor Trailer Wreck/Personal Injury: Clients’ (S.W. and C.W.) pickup truck was sideswiped by a large tractor trailer on Highway 285 in Atlanta. Client was treated at the hospital and eventually required to undergo two arthroscopic knee surgeries four months after the collision. Client incurred $46,500 in medical bills. Attorney Parker McFarland filed a civil case in Cobb County on behalf of Clients against the driver and his trucking company and settled the case prior to trial for $245,000.00.
- Automobile Wreck/Personal Injury: Client (J.V.) was rear-ended by another driver while stopped at a traffic light totaling Client’s vehicle. Client sustained injuries to her neck including cervical radiculopathy and stenosis at the C5/C6 and C6/C7 disks which ultimately required neck surgery. Client incurred $83,000.00 in medical bills. The insurance adjuster refused to pay for anything above the medical bills. Attorney Parker McFarland filed a lawsuit against the other driver in Forsyth County State Court and settled the case before trial for $175,000.00.
- Auto Accidents/Personal InjuryClient (J.O.) was a passenger in his uncle’s truck in Hall County when the defendant pulled out in front of them, causing a collision. Although the defendant was issued a citation for failure to yield, a witness identified in the police report stated that Client’s uncle was speeding. Moreover, Client’s uncle admitted in his deposition that he had been speeding at the time of the car wreck. Client underwent elbow surgery, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and numerous injections. Client was diagnosed with herniated discs in his lower back and neck at L4-L5, L5-S1, and C6-C7 and incurred $95,000 in medical bills. Surgery was recommended to treat the disc injuries. Attorney Parker McFarland filed a lawsuit in Hall County State Court. Despite the evidence that Client’s uncle was partially at fault in the automobile wreck, a settlement was reached prior to trial for all of the remaining insurance policy limits of $281,198.22.
