Personal Injury 50%

Catastrophic Injury or Death caused by the negligence of another can alter lives forever. If you or a loved one have been injured by the carelessness of another, you are entitled to a recovery. Common personal injury cases are car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, negligent security, unsafe premises claims, and work related injuries. The South Georgia based personal injury attorneys at Hudson King are experienced in handling these and other personal injury cases.

Car Accident 20%

While the physical injuries from a serious car accident may take years to recover from if they can be recovered from at all, the financial damage is often just as serious and long lasting. Unfortunately, serious car accident injuries often prevent individuals from ever making the same income they could before the accident even if they are able to return to work. We work to repair the financial havoc wreaked on a serious accident victim and his or her family’s life.

Business 10%

We use a big picture perspective to help businesses resolve disputes in the most cost effective manner possible – whether that is a quick settlement or a jury trial. We prepare all our cases as if there will be a trial. We do this because we have found that the best way to prevail at trial is to begin preparing for trial the minute we accept the case and that the best way to obtain a favorable settlement is to let the other side know that you are ready and willing to go to trial.
