How do personal injury attorneys know how much a personal injury case is worth?
Atlanta slip and fall attorney Richard Griffin and his firm, The Griffin Law Firm, use their experience and the latest jury verdict research evaluate the likely value of personal injury cases. Our firm has had great success in using the jury verdict research to negotiate higher settlements from adjusters and defense attorneys and to educate our clients. The actual value of any personal injury case is what a jury awards at the conclusion of a trial so settlement evaluations are only projections.

What is the median settlement for a slip and fall personal injury case in Atlanta, Georgia?

This is a client testimonial video from Mr. L. Sobberi, an actual Atlanta personal injury client of injury attorney Richard Griffin. In this video Mr. Sobberi discusses how pleased he was with the auto accident personal injury representation he received from The Griffin Law Firm.

L. Sobberi was coming home from work when a lady almost hit him head on. He was able to turn slightly, but he could not avoid the impact. The negligent driver was arrested at the scene. Because the negligent driver did not report the accident to her insurance company, her insurance company kept denying coverage (that they insured her). Mr. Sobberi explained that he attempted to handle the personal injury claim himself since he had been "an insurance man" in the past selling and adjusting claims. However, he quickly became very frustrated because the insurance company just kept "stone walling". He felt like the insurance company he was going against was probably one of the worst. They just kept saying no every step of the way. Handling the personal injury claim alone got him no where. He even called the Department of Insurance for the state of Georgia, but this didn't help and only gave him more information about the negligent driver's insurance company. He felt like you really had to get an attorney to get help to make the insurance company pay the auto accident personal injury claim fairly.

Mr. Sobberi first called "one of the big firms" and I didn't get any response. He said that this was a "waste of my time". Then he called The Griffin Law Firm, and they sent a intake representative to his office for the sign up within a few days. He explained that this was really convenient and that most of the other firms he spoke to said he would have to come to them.

The Griffin Law Firm even checked to see if the negligent driver owned anything, but she didn't. The The Griffin Law Firm then was able to recover the maximum (the liability policy limits) from the liability carrier (the negligent driver's carrier). Then they were able to get the full amount from my auto insurance as well in an under-insured motorist claim.

Mr. Sobberi said, "Dealing with this insurance company was very stressful and I am very grateful for what The Griffin Law Firm did for me". He "strongly recommends" Attorney Richard Griffin and The Griffin Law Firm because "he knows they will do a good job for you". He further stated that he had already recommended someone in his church to The Griffin Law Firm, P.C. because "he knows they will do an excellent job for them".
