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. We never walk away until we have exhausted every legal option to pursue compensation from all negligent parties.

The CEO Lawyer Personal Injury Law Firm Will Provide Services at No Up-Front Cost

Pursuing a personal injury case can involve considerable time, effort, and money. Investigating how your accident occurred and obtaining evidence can become resource-intensive, and court filings each have their own attached cost. 

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.

I wanted to express my gratitude towards Ali Awad. I was involved in a rear end collision and I had some questions. I wrote Ali and he responded immediately. I would have used him for representation however, he’s in a different state. He did suggest an attorney that was local to me, which said a lot about his character. That showed me that he wasn’t selfish and wanted the best for every party involved (the good guys). Even after realizing he couldn’t represent me, he still answered questions free of charge. Ali has always displayed patience, wide range of knowledge and empathy. If you want the best representation from a lawyer who has integrity , experience, wisdom ; choose Ali!!

I heard of Ali Awad through Instagram beleive it or not. I gave them a shot. My daughter and I were in accidents within 1 month of each other. I was pleased by the way my care was coordinated of with the providers. I know Amanda, and Tiffany worked hard throughout the process with the insurance company as well. I requested weekly follow up calls on my case and they respected my wishes. They do a great job negotiating down the medical bills as well. PLEASE CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CLIENTS ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. It makes a difference and we really appreciate that.

Attorney Ali Awad is the BEST Personal Injury attorney I have ever worked with. He had no issues answering my questions, being involved in a truck accident I had a lot of questions and he always made time to talk to me. His staff is very knowledgeable and professional. They made sure I was treated for my injuries and got my bills reduced so I could have more from my settlement after fees and bills for my pain and suffering. If you are injured in a personal injury case, I highly recommend Attorney Ali Awad. He and his staff will give you quality service and results.

Awad law firm and his staff is a great firm who will treat you as family. During my test of time of enduring a car accident, Awad the founder called and checked on me, making sure I had great medical assistance, asking did I have any questions even though he paired me with one of his attorneys. Also, Awad gets to know all of his clients personally, making sure my experience was a great one. I would like to thank this prestige establishment for their hard work and dedication, treating me like my worth. You can’t go wrong. Again, thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Take a look at some of the most common personal injury law questions for general information, and then reach out to one of our seasoned attorneys for specific guidance on your case!

What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

The value of your case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on your life. Each personal injury case is unique, and the combination of these factors varies from one case to another. An experienced personal injury lawyer can provide you with a more precise estimate of your case’s value by reviewing the specific details of your situation. They will analyze similar cases in your jurisdiction, consider the legal precedents, and use their knowledge of past settlements and verdicts to gauge a realistic potential outcome for your case. This estimate helps you understand what you might expect regarding compensation and guides the negotiation or litigation process to ensure you receive a fair settlement.

What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?

After an accident, seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine, to address any hidden injuries. Document everything, including photos of the scene and contact information for witnesses. Gathering witness statements is crucial because they provide an objective account of the accident, supporting your version of events and strengthening your personal injury claim. Report the incident to the proper authorities, such as the police or property owner. Finally, contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your legal options and protect your rights, ensuring you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

How Much Will a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

Most personal injury lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis, which means that you don’t have to pay any upfront fees or hourly rates. Instead, the lawyer’s payment is contingent upon the outcome of your case. If you win your case, whether through a settlement or a court judgment, the lawyer will receive a percentage of the compensation awarded to you. If you don't win your case, you usually won’t owe the lawyer any fees for their services.

How Long Will It Take to Resolve My Personal Injury Case?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary significantly based on a variety of factors, making it difficult to predict exactly how long your case will take. The complexity of the case is a major determining factor. For instance, straightforward cases with clear liability and minimal disputes over damages can sometimes be resolved relatively quickly, often within a few months. These cases may involve negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance company, which can happen promptly if all parties are cooperative and the evidence is strong.
