  • Collapsed scaffolding

  • Medical bills
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Lost wages

Let an Atlanta accident attorney get you the money you deserve. Call (800) 995-1212 now to talk with a member of our team.

Disability Lawyers in Atlanta, GA

If you’re unable to work, disability insurance may be your only source of income. However, some insurance companies may try to deny your disability claim — even if it is valid.

Some of the medical conditions that may qualify for long-term disability benefits include:

  • Bipolar disorder
  • Cancer
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Fibromyalgia
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Lupus
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)

If your Social Security Disability Insurance or long-term disability claim was denied, our Atlanta disability lawyers may be able to help you appeal the denial and receive the compensation you’re entitled to.

Dogs that are not kept on leashes or that escape their enclosures may attack unsuspecting individuals without warning. Even dogs on a leash may still pose a threat.

Children and seniors are at a higher risk of getting bitten by a dog. Aggressive dogs can seriously harm people or other animals if they are not handled properly by their owners.

A dog bite attorney in Atlanta can help you hold the person responsible for the care of the dog accountable.

Atlanta Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care professional injures a patient after failing to provide the standard of care expected of them.

Nursing home abuse can include:

  • Physical abuse
  • Serious neglect (like bedsores) and malnutrition
  • Sexual abuse or sexual assault

At Sokolove Law, our nursing home abuse lawyers in Atlanta are compassionate towards those who have been harmed — and relentless in the pursuit of justice on their behalf.

Atlanta Slip & Fall Lawyers

Many slip and fall accidents occur on someone else’s property — and oftentimes due to negligence on the part of the property owner.

While some falls may result in minor injuries, others can cause debilitating pain that lasts for years to come.

By working with a personal injury attorney in Atlanta, you can get help determining your legal options and taking action to pursue compensation for the suffering you’ve experienced.

Atlanta Workers Comp Lawyers

Workplace injuries can occur while performing any work-related task, regardless of your job.

Common workplace injuries in Atlanta include:

  • Chemical poisoning
  • Crush injuries
  • Cuts
  • Equipment injuries
  • Falls
  • Sprained or strained muscles
  • Torn muscles

When you are injured at work, you typically receive workers’ compensation. However, your employer’s insurance company may try to downplay the extent of your injury in order to avoid paying out large sums of money.

Our workers comp lawyers in Atlanta, GA can help you navigate this process and get the compensation you deserve.

How to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Atlanta

When you work with Sokolove Law, our experienced team of attorneys will strive to make filing a personal injury lawsuit in Atlanta as stress-free as possible.

If you have a case, our Atlanta personal injury attorneys will handle every step of the legal process for you, so you can focus on the health and recovery of you or your loved one.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit includes members of your legal team: 

  • Determining your eligibility to file a claim during a free consultation
  • Building a strong case with medical records, testimony, and evidence
  • Filing a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf
  • Negotiating personal injury settlement amounts with the defendant
  • Presenting your case in court if needed

Pursuing Atlanta Personal Injury Settlements

The vast majority of our personal injury cases settle before they go to trial, which means you may receive compensation without ever having to step foot in a courtroom. 

A personal injury settlement is when all parties in a lawsuit agree on the amount of compensation the plaintiff should receive. Your attorney will negotiate with the defendant to try and achieve a fair settlement on your behalf.

The amount of your Atlanta personal injury settlement depends on several factors, including:

  • How badly you were hurt
  • The cost of your medical treatment
  • Any lost wages

If a personal injury settlement isn’t reached, the case may proceed to court for a jury and judge to decide the outcome in a verdict.

Compensation from personal injury settlements in Atlanta can be used for medical bills, repairing damaged property, therapy, and any other expenses you may have.
