5 Things You Must Know If In A Motorcycle Accident

Image
In this video, personal injury attorney Ted Spaulding details 5 things you need to know if involved in a Georgia motorcycle accident. In this video, I’m going to give you five quick things that you must know if you’ve been in a motorcycle wreck in Georgia.   Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer. I’m the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law.   So, let me give you these five tips. Number one, do not give a recorded statement. Only person you have to give a recorded statement to is your own insurance company, but do not give it to the at-fault insurance adjuster. They’re going to try to use it against you.   Number two, always follow your doctor’s advice. They tell you not to lift certain things over a certain poundage, don’t do it. They tell you not to ride your motorcycle, don’t do it. Follow your doctor’s advice.   Number three, collect all insurance. In motorcycle cases, there’s multiple insurance policies, at the very least. You go

Walking to School Can Expose Children to the Risk of Involvement in a Pedestrian Accident

Image
Thousands of children in the Atlanta area walk at least part of the way to school every day. While walking to school can be a good source of exercise and allow children a little additional time to socialize, it also exposes them to the risk of being involved in a pedestrian accident. Data provided by the  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1  (NHTSA) indicates that of the 69,000 pedestrians who were injured in 2011, 11,000 of them were children aged 14 and younger. Children are at particular risk for injury in a pedestrian accident, due to their smaller size, unfamiliarity with traffic laws, and inability to judge speeds and distances as well as adults. Fortunately, there are certain steps that parents can take in order to reduce the risk that their child will be hurt in a traffic accident. These include the following: Choose the safest possible route and practice walking it with your child – Choosing the safest possible route involves using streets that are not part

11 Steps To Take After A Car Accident

Image
What should you do after a car accident? Attorney Ted Spaulding explains 11 steps to take after a car accident in Georgia. Eleven steps to take after a car accident. Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer, and I am the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. So I’ve compiled 11 steps to take immediately after a car accident. Now, a lot of these you guys already know. They’re pretty straightforward ones, but you’re gonna see there’s a couple of them that will probably make you go, “Huh? Okay. I didn’t think about that before.” And so that’s the purpose of this list, is to remind you of the ones that you already know and to give you a couple of additional ones to help you out. So let’s start with the obvious, call 911. You got to get a police report. Why? Because that is an independent, basically, expert who’s going to determine who’s at fault. And then you can call that police officer at court to say, “Yes, that person I found to be at fault after I inve

Are Car Accident Settlements Taxable

Image
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding explains whether or not car accident settlements are taxable in the state of Georgia.  Are car accident settlements, taxable? Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding, an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer, and the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. So, this is a question obviously that comes up at the end of a case. You’ve got a settlement, you’ve got a verdict from a jury, and your lawyer is getting ready to disperse monies. And the question is the money that you’re getting for your pain and suffering, and other damages that you’re taking home with you, is that taxable? Well, your lawyer, unless they’re also a tax lawyer, for some reason, and a personal injury lawyer, I’m certainly not, cannot give you legal advice on that because they’re not tax professionals. What I tell people is, at the beginning of the following year when you’re gonna be filling out taxes, so if you get a settlement or a verdict, and you receive monies in let’s say 2020, in 2021, whe

Are Motorcycle Helmets Required In Georgia

Image
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding answers whether or not a helmet is required when driving a motorcycle in Georgia. Are motorcycle helmets required in the State of Georgia? Keep watching this video to learn the answer to this all-important question. Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer. And I’m the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. So this is an easy one. Yes, Georgia law requires you to wear a helmet. If you’re a passenger on a motorcycle, you’re required to wear a helmet. But it goes beyond that. Georgia law says you must follow federal law. So, we are talking federal motorcycle helmet law, which is DOT-compliant helmets. So, it is not enough just to be wearing a helmet, you must wear a DOT-compliant helmet. So, you need to make sure you’re wearing one. Be mindful of those novelty ones out there that have the little DOT sticker that are not DOT-compliant helmets. That will come out if you’re in a wreck and it’s not the proper helmet. So, yes

Atlanta Police No Longer Responding To Most Car Accident Calls

Image
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding explains the standard process for Atlanta police responding to car accident calls, and what to expect if this happens to you.  Hi. Just last week, the Atlanta police department came out with a directive that they are not going to be responding to car accidents in Fulton County anymore unless there are injuries reported. Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer, and I’m the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. Keep watching this video to find out what this really means on the ground as this policy is being rolled out for injury victims and car wrecks. So I’m gonna give you a real life example of what we’re seeing regarding the effects of this new policy by the Atlanta police department. So I got a call the other day from a lady who was in a wreck in downtown Atlanta, and she called the police. She was injured and she told them, you know, she was okay, no one was severely injured. They think they’re gonna be all ri

How Does a Truck’s Black Box Help My Personal Injury Case?

Image
Much like an airplane, most commercial trucks have an  event data recorder , 1  also known as a “black box,” that records important information regarding the performance of the truck. Some of the information recorded includes the following: GPS information regarding the truck location at a certain time Communications between the driver and trucking company Engine RPMs Hard braking Tire pressure Whether the driver engaged the clutch Speed of the truck Interpreting the information recorded on a truck’s black box can be simple in some cases, such as simply knowing that a truck driver was exceeding the speed limit when the collision occurred. In other instances, however, a deeper analysis by a  truck accident attorney  may be done to identify negligence. Hours of Service Violations One common act of negligence that may be identified using black box information is fatigued driving. Because of the dangers of driving while fatigued, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Adm

Can You File A Car Accident Claim Without A Police Report

Image
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding answers the question of if you need a police report to file a car accident claim. Watch below to learn his tips. Can you file a claim after a car accident without a police report? Hi, I am Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer, and I’m the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. So the answer to this question is, yes, absolutely you can. But you don’t want to do it that way. You need to call the police out to the scene so they can do a full investigation and determine who’s at fault and have a police report that shows that. That is the best evidence of fault going forward to help you with your claim. It doesn’t mean that you’re stuck but it certainly is going to make it more difficult. You’re going to need to have witnesses. You’re going to need to get lucky and hope that the at-fault party does not lie to their insurance company and say, “Oh, no, I wasn’t at fault. The other person was.” Then you’ve got a he said, she

So, this is an important topic. It’s one that I talk about all the time. I’m a big advocate of this situation because it comes up a decent amount of time, and more so not having no insurance, but not having enough insurance. And how do you protect yourself? Well, it’s ultimately called UM insurance. This is insurance that you have on your own auto coverage. You don’t have to have it in the state of Georgia. So, it’s an extra line item, you pay an additional premium to have it, but it covers you in the

An Overview of Subrogation Claims After A Personal Injury Settlement

Image
Our  personal injury attorneys  focus a lot of our time discussing various aspects of cases in order to achieve a favorable outcome for our clients before or at trial. This focus is understandable because without it the injured will not receive a recovery at all or not what they need. In this post, I want to focus on one area of a personal injury claim that clients are almost always unaware of and lawyers usually do not focus on until after a recovery has been received. The topic is subrogation claims against your recovery by the entity paying your medical bills during the course of your treatment. That’s right. You are not done once you receive a settlement or verdict. You may entity money out of your settlement or verdict for medical expenses paid on your behalf. What is a Subrogation Claim in a Personal Injury Case in Atlanta? If you have a health insurance company or government program (think Medicare/Medicaid) paying your medical bills, you will be notified at some point tha

Do You Need A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer That Also Rides

Image
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding answers the question of how important it is to have a motorcycle accident attorney that also rides a bike.  Do you need a motorcycle injury attorney that also rides? Hi. I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer and I’m the founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. So this is a question I get a good bit from prospective clients that call me and it’s an interesting one, it’s really born out of in my experience marketing, right? So you get these lawyers that are sitting on a motorcycle, taking photographs for publications or their website or whatever touting that they’re also a rider, as if that gives you some sort of an advantage over the next personal injury lawyer. And quite frankly the answer is no it doesn’t. It may make you feel more comfortable as a motorcycle rider to also have a lawyer who rides and that’s perfectly fine, if that makes you feel more comfortable with that lawyer then, by all means, go with that lawyer.

How Can Social Media Affect Your Personal Injury Case

Image
In this video, attorney Ted Spaulding reviews the impact that social media posting on sites like Facebook can have on your personal injury case resolution.  How can social media affect your personal injury case? Watch this video to find out. Hi, I’m Ted Spaulding. I’m an Atlanta personal injury trial lawyer and founder here at Spaulding Injury Law. So this is a hot topic in the personal industry. It’s one that comes up often now. We get it all the time in discovery, asking for our clients’ social media handles, asking for access to social media. If it has been made private, why? Well, they’re looking for any sort of information that they can, in my opinion, twist and use to say, “You’re not as injured as you say you are.” So obviously the real big problems would be if you are exaggerating your injuries, right? That’s not what the system’s supposed to be about. So if you are testifying that you are so injured, you can’t do things like mow the lawn or go on family vacations or
