An Experienced Advocate for Georgia’s Injured…

If you were hit by a car in a Metro Atlanta crosswalk, injured in a car wreck on the downtown connector on I-75/85 or in an accident on the perimeter on I-285, you need an advocate to help you get the settlement you deserve.

The Law Offices of R. Shane Smith provide caring, responsive legal services to injury victims in the Metro Atlanta Area including those injured in auto accidents, DUI victims, and pedestrians who have been hit by a car, truck, bus, or other vehicle.

Why do you need a lawyer to advocate for you?

Hiring an experienced attorney levels the playing field. You have a right to full and fair compensation for injuries and property damage caused by another person, but the legal system is complicated, and insurance companies are not on your side.
Insurance companies would rather offer the minimum payout for property damages than give you a fair settlement including payment for lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
Many DUI victims don't know how or when to file a civil suit. If you are injured by a drunk driver, the person responsible may be sentenced by a criminal court, but does that pay your medical bills? Your lawyer can explain the laws and settlement options for DUI victims in Georgia.

Shane Smith has the skills and experience to navigate a complex system and achieve the settlement you deserve.

Auto Accidents
Car wrecks are responsible for thousands of deaths and many more injuries in Georgia every year. Auto accidents can result in thousands of dollars in property damage and major medical problems including back and neck injuries, paralysis, and death. If you or someone you love has been involved in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, it is important to consult an attorney who can explain your legal rights and options.

DUI Victims
If you have been injured in a collision caused by a drunk driver, a judge may order the responsible party to pay punitive damages. This amount is separate from and in addition to payments you may be awarded for medical bills, lost wages, property damage or pain and suffering. Shane Smith knows how to use information and rulings from the criminal court and ensure that the person at fault pays punitive damages when appropriate.

Pedestrian Accidents
Whether you were run over by a bus in downtown Atlanta or hit in a crosswalk in Peachtree City, Shane Smith can help you build a strong case and achieve the compensation you deserve. Even in situations where the driver had trouble seeing you-if you were hit while jogging in Palmetto, GA in the early morning, or your child was run over in Edgewood after dark-you still have an injury case and you deserve an experienced advocate.
