Auto Accident

Your Advocate in Metro Atlanta...

A recent study of road congestion rated Atlanta's traffic the third worst in the United States. That means that Atlantans spend more time stuck in traffic than anyone else in the nation, apart from residents of Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Traffic congestion leads to pollution, wasted gas money, and personal discomfort, but it also contributes to a more serious problem: traffic accidents.

Many times traffic snarls at Spaghetti Junction or rush-hour jam-ups on the Downtown Connector lead to nothing more serious than a fender-bender or a dented door, but when a serious car accident occurs, causing injury or even death, you may need the support of an experienced attorney to ensure that you are fairly compensated for your loss.

Shane Smith is an experienced advocate for Georgia's injured. The Law Offices of R. Shane Smith are located in the Metro Atlanta Area and serve victims of car, truck, and motorcycle accidents in the state of Georgia.

No car wreck is the same:
If you are paralyzed from a spine injury after being rear-ended on I-85 in Union City, GA you may receive compensation for potential earnings as well as wages already lost.

If your car is hit by a drunk driver on I-20 in Atlanta, you may receive punitive damages in addition to a settlement for your medical bills and property damages.

Whether you were injured while driving your work truck on I-75 or sideswiped on Tara Boulevard, rolled your SUV on I-285 or lost a loved one in a head-on collision on the Grady Curve, you deserve to understand your right to a settlement and your legal options.

You don't always need a lawyer to help you with your claim, but if you have any doubts about your right to compensation, an attorney can answer your questions.

Shane will work with you to achieve the best result for your case. As your attorney, Shane Smith will provide support and advice, but the decisions are always yours to make. Whether you decide to take your case to trial or wish to avoid a courtroom, Shane will support your decision.

If you require medical care or other services outside of the legal arena, the Law Offices of R. Shane Smith can refer you to a specialist in these other fields.
