Video has become part of everyday life. Whether it comes from a dash cam, a home security system, a business surveillance camera, or a smartphone, there is a greater chance than ever that an incident has been captured on camera. Many people assume that if video exists, it automatically answers every question about what happened. …
After an accident, many people think the biggest challenge is proving who caused the crash. In my experience as a personal injury attorney, that’s only part of the story. Insurance companies also pay close attention to what happens after the accident, especially when it comes to your medical treatment. The decisions you make in the …
If you’ve been injured in an accident, one of the first conversations you should have is with your doctor about your level of activity. Can you return to work? Do you need restrictions? Are there certain tasks you should avoid while you recover? Once you have those answers, the next step is talking with your …
One of the most common things I hear from accident victims as a personal injury attorney is, “I thought I was okay.” They walk away from a car accident, go home, get some rest, and assume they escaped serious injury. Then, a few days later, the headaches start. Their neck becomes stiff. Their back begins …
After an accident, most people focus on what matters most: getting medical care, recovering from their injuries, and getting their lives back on track. The last thing many injury victims want to think about is paperwork. However, the documents you keep throughout the claims process can play an important role in protecting your right to …
After an accident, many people focus only on the immediate damage in front of them. They worry about getting home safely or returning to work as quickly as possible. What many accident victims do not realize is that the actions they take in the hours and days after can significantly affect the outcome of their …
At Kaine Law, we often describe developing a personal injury claim as building it brick by brick. Strong cases are not created by luck, emotion, or a single dramatic moment. They are built through documentation, strategy, timing, and consistency. Every piece of evidence we gather becomes another brick supporting the overall strength of the claim. …
We once heard an insurance adjuster make an argument so ridiculous that it would almost sound fictional if it did not happen during a real injury claim. The case involved a drunk driver. Liability was obvious. But the adjuster attempted to downplay the crash by arguing that it was not “really” the type of DUI …
After an injury, many people assume they can handle the insurance claim on their own, at least at first. It feels reasonable to wait, see how things develop, and deal with the insurance company directly. What often goes overlooked is that insurance is a billion-dollar industry built on collecting premiums and minimizing payouts. The longer …
Most people begin their search for a personal injury lawyer by looking at five-star reviews, assuming that higher ratings automatically mean better representation. However, that approach only tells part of the story. Negative feedback, specifically how the law firm handles negative feedback, can reveal how they communicate, handle challenges, and manage client expectations in real-world …
If you are involved in an accident and are physically able to do so, take out your phone and start photographing the accident scene immediately. Those first moments are often chaotic, but they are also when the most important evidence exists. Many people fail to capture “everything.” What you document in those minutes can shape …
Unlike compensatory damages that address the financial and personal impact caused by another party’s negligence, punitive damages are designed to punish especially dangerous behavior and discourage similar misconduct in the future. In Georgia injury claims, courts may consider punitive damages when a person’s actions demonstrate a willful disregard for the safety of others. How Georgia …
After a car accident, a lot of people have the same reaction: I’m okay. I don’t need a doctor. If you can walk away from the crash and you’re not in obvious pain, it can feel unnecessary to spend hours sitting in an emergency room. I understand that instinct. After years of handling car accident …
Insurance claims can get strange in a hurry. Here’s what happened: an adjuster refused to cover a left knee injury because our client had a history of injury to their right knee. Then the adjuster demanded something that doesn’t even make sense in real life: proof that the left knee had no prior injury history. …
People often assume they are “stuck” once they hire a personal injury attorney, but that isn’t how the process works. In Georgia, a new lawyer can take over a personal injury case at almost any point. If your case isn’t moving forward, communication has broken down, or you’re unsure your concerns are being addressed, changing …
Insurance adjusters review a demand letter as a risk assessment tool. They look for clear proof of fault, thorough medical documentation, a detailed accounting of financial and personal losses, and a settlement amount that is supported by evidence. If the facts, records, and numbers show strong exposure, they move toward resolution. If the package contains …
When you’re hurt and searching for a personal injury lawyer, it’s easy to confuse visibility with quality. Brash billboards, catchy slogans, and flashy TV ads can make a firm look impressive, but none of that tells you how you’ll be treated once you sign on. A good personal injury lawyer is defined by what happens …

Since no two cases are alike and many of the outcomes are confidential, it’s difficult to determine what the average settlement of a Publix slip and fall accident is. Various factors, like the nature and extent of your injuries, your medical treatment, the impact on your quality of life, and the circumstances related to what …
To prove negligence in a premises liability case, you must show how the owner or business operator failed to address or warn of a dangerous hazard that led to your injuries. Their failure is one of the four elements of negligence required for victims to have a viable case for compensation. Were you injured on …
