Personal injury claims are those in which the victim suffers physical injury directly resulting from another person’s negligence. I employ a practical, professional approach to ensure my clients obtain full and fair recovery for their injuries, including damages for their past and future medical bills, lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. Through my extensive civil litigation experience, my knowledge about insurance company tactics and my skill at settlement negotiations, I can obtain the best possible recovery for my clients. 

This is your case and I am helping you with it. I provide personalized legal guidance at every step of a client's case, keeping clients updated on progress in their cases and fully informing them about the legal strategies and recovery options available. 

Subject matter experts to help with your case
I consult with knowledgeable and respected experts to assist with case preparation. With the assistance of physicians, trauma doctors, pharmacists, chiropractors, forensics engineers, mechanics and accident reconstruction analysts, I can negotiate the best possible settlements. At trial, these experts are available to deliver clear, professional testimony.

Consult an experienced personal injury attorney like me, David Bowers, as soon as possible to file your claim before the crucial statutory deadline.

WORKERS' COMPENSATION


If you are injured at work or while performing work duties, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits may be owed to you even if your employer is not negligent or at fault for your injury. I have represented injured workers for over 15 years. During this time I have helped my clients obtain benefits for:


  • Medical care
  • Compensation for permanent disability
  • Dependents’ recovery for workers' death
  • Income benefits
  • Lost wages or salary
  • Rehabilitation expenses
  • Retraining costs


Joint Workers Compensation and Personal Injury Claims
If an unrelated third party is responsible for your work-related injury they may also owe you compensation. Let me evaluate your claim to see if you are receiving all you deserve.

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY

Securing your disability benefits in Georgia
It is a common misconception that disability benefits are immediately available to you the moment you become disabled.  This is simply not true. The Social Security Administration has created a complicated procedure one must follow in order to obtain either Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Social Security Supplemental Income (SSI) benefits. I can help guide you through the maze of procedures and stacks of forms.

In order to qualify for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) an applicant must meet the following requirements:

  • Earning Requirement - You must have workers for a certain period of time during the years you became disabled with FICA taxes having been deducted from your earnings. These deductions are your “payment” into the system and provide you with potential eligibility for coverage. If you do not meet these requirements you may still be eligible for Supplement Security Income (SSI) benefits as discussed below.


  • Disability Requirement - You must meet the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) definition of disabled. According to the SSA, you are disabled if: 1) You cannot perform the work you did before you became disabled; 2) You cannot perform any other job available in the national economy; and 3) Your disability condition will last for at least twelve (12) months.


Meeting these requirements can be a difficult and time consuming process. I can explain the Social Security Disability program to you and prepare your claim for a favorable decision from the SSA.

If you are ineligible for SSDI benefits, you may be eligible for SSI benefits.
If you are disabled and do not qualify for SSDI benefits, you may be eligible for SSI benefits. Benefits are available to individuals who are over the age of 65, blind, or disabled. They are also available to disabled children.

Financial Requirement
The SSA considers your income and resources (things you own), places this information in a formula, and determines whether or not you qualify as a person of need.
