Injuries Aren’t Pretty, But We’re Here for You in the Classic City
Home of the 2021 College Football Playoff Champions, the Georgia Bulldogs, Athens is a city where dreams often truly do come true.
When the University of Georgia was chartered in 1785, Athens had already begun to grow up from a humble trading post to a destination for brilliant minds. Downtown Athens now still bears the memories of this rosy past, with historic buildings turned into commercial spaces and venues. These venues hold a history all their own, too, playing host to world-famous acts like the B-52s, Pylon, R.E.M., Widespread Panic, of Montreal, and Vision Video.
The culture and commerce of the Classic City has attracted thousands of artists, entrepreneurs, and, yes, students. While many who pass under the arch in cap and gown quickly move on to other locales, others settle down and call Athens their long-term home — or have already lived here for generations.
People of all walks of life can benefit from experienced legal representation when their luck turns sour and they end up hurt. Ali Awad and his team will act like your bulldog in court and at the negotiation table.

The good news is that you can still pursue a personal injury claim. Our lawyers are willing to work with you on a contingency agreement, meaning we only get paid if we are able to obtain a settlement or win a verdict for you. You pay nothing up-front, and you risk nothing by entrusting our experienced attorneys to represent you.
What Do I Do If I Am Hurt?
Any time you have been hurt in a car accident, slip and fall, or any other incident that could have been caused by someone else’s negligence, take the following steps.
Stop and Document the Accident
Immediately stop what you are doing and assess the situation. If you are seriously hurt, call 911 and request an ambulance. Always call 911 and ask for a police respondent if you have been involved in a collision with a motor vehicle.
As soon as you can, begin documenting the scene where the accident occurred. Take photos of the location, the conditions around you, and any injuries you have sustained. Ask witnesses for statements, and obtain their contact information for future use.
Seek Medical Attention
Go to see a doctor as soon as possible. Even if you feel only moderately hurt or aren’t positive about your symptoms, go get a full medical evaluation. You could have latent injuries. The earlier you begin treatment, the better your chances of recovery, and the closer you are able to document your injury near the date of its occurrence.
Save all Receipts and Paperwork
Save your discharge papers, billing statements, receipts, and any other paperwork associated with injury treatment, vehicle repairs, and other accident-related expenses. Even the costs of parking at your appointment or getting a ride there could potentially be covered in an injury claim.
Follow All Doctor’s Orders, and Return for Follow-Up
Always follow the orders given to you upon discharge to the letter. Take all required medications, and miss work if it was recommended. Also, don’t miss any follow-up appointments.
Talk to an Attorney Before You Talk to Insurers
Whether you were involved in a car accident or some other type of incident, your most likely source of compensation is an insurance policy. However, beware of reporting your accident directly to insurers or property owners before you have obtained legal representation. Get a lawyer, and work with them to quickly begin your claim and seek the damages you have suffered.
