Section 3: Practice Areas & Services

Primary Focus: Personal injury and workers' compensation. Roughly 60% of the firm's caseload is personal injury and 40% is workers' compensation. The firm also handles catastrophic-injury matters involving explosions and fires, and wrongful death claims.

Core Services:

Target Audience: People injured in South Georgia through another party's negligence — car and truck crashes, workplace accidents, and fatal incidents — and their families. The firm takes cases involving an injury (not property-damage-only claims).

Competitive Advantage: The firm has practiced in Douglas since 1949 and is led by the third generation of the founding family. One of the firm's attorneys handles each case directly from first call to resolution, rather than assigning it to a case manager. Representation is contingency-based with a free initial consultation. Reported recoveries range from $187,000 to $2.8 million, and the firm has handled thousands of personal injury and workers' compensation cases.
