How a Spinal Injury Lawyer Can Help You
The spinal injury lawyers with Bader Law Injury Lawyers provide several services to our Mableton car accident victims. As always, our goal is your recovery—financially, physically, and emotionally.
We Will Investigate Your Accident and Injury
First, our lawyer and legal team will start an investigation to better understand how your spinal injury occurred. This investigation will collect such information as:
- Police reports on the car accident
- Medical records on your prognosis
- Communications from associated parties
We Will Speak on Your Behalf
Our lawyer will handle all communication related to the lawsuit, and we ask that you only share information with us. At times, you may receive phone calls, letters, or visits from someone representing the at-fault party. Do not feel obliged to speak or answer them. Simply direct them to us. Allow us to communicate to the at-fault party and their insurers for you. Your job is to heal and recover.
We Will Negotiate for a Fair Settlement
With the evidence we collect from our investigation, our lawyer will determine a fair settlement offer. We will then present our evidence and settlement offer to the at-fault party’s insurance company. If we cannot reach an agreement, we can then file a lawsuit.
We Will Handle Your Lawsuit
When negotiations fail, we can then file a lawsuit to pursue compensation. We will be there in court with you, fighting for your right to compensation for your damages. We will make certain all paperwork is handled and deadlines are met.

Georgia’s Statute of Limitations
Every state and every type of civil lawsuit has a deadline known as the statute of limitations. As the name implies, there is a time limit to bring your case to court for adjudication. There are also various exceptions to these deadlines that can shorten or extend them.
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you have two years to bring a lawsuit against the defendant. If you miss this deadline, your case will most likely be denied.
The Party at Fault for Your Injuries
Determining liability for your Mableton car accident can be a complex process, but one we are familiar with. Through our investigation, we will determine the cause and identify the at-fault party.
Those most commonly liable for the accident that caused your spinal injury could include:
Other Drivers
When they drive negligently or violate traffic laws, car drivers may be liable for causing your accident. If your accident involved a commercial vehicle or construction machine, an operator may be at fault for your accident when they operate their equipment negligently, but the owner is vicariously liable for the actions of their employees. The owner may also be liable if the company did not properly maintain the equipment.
Property Owners
Property owners may be sued if they did not maintain their properties or knowingly avoided necessary repairs. Government agencies may be found liable when their vehicles, facilities, or employees cause spinal injuries or damage.
Product Manufacturers
Finally, product manufacturers may be found guilty of negligence or misconduct when their products cause your injuries. For example, your accident may have been caused by faulty tires or brakes.
