Personal Injury Attorney in Southwest Georgia

When you’re injured because someone else was careless, the law gives you the right to pursue compensation. At Shingler Law, we help clients in Southwest Georgia understand their legal options after car accidents, falls, or other life-changing injuries — and we guide them through every step of the process with clarity and focus.

Types of Injury Cases We Handle

Personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents and harm. We assist clients with claims involving:

• Car accidents
• Truck and commercial vehicle crashes
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian injuries
• Slip and fall accidents (premises liability)
• Wrongful death cases

Whether your injury occurred on the road, in a store, or on private property, we take the time to understand the full scope of what happened — and what it’s costing you.

“Every injury case is about more than just the accident. It’s about recovery, stability, and making sure the injured person isn’t left to carry the cost alone.” — Shingler Law

What Georgia Law Says About Injury Claims

Georgia law allows injury victims to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. To succeed in a claim, you must prove that another party was negligent — and that their negligence caused your injury. You may also have to deal with:

• Insurance companies denying or minimizing your claim
• Disputes over fault (especially in shared-responsibility accidents)
• Time-sensitive legal deadlines (like Georgia’s two-year statute of limitations)

We help clients navigate these issues with confidence and prepare every case as if it could go to trial — even if it settles before that.

“You don’t have to figure this out alone. The insurance company has a strategy. You need one too.” — Attorney William M. Shingler Jr.

What You Can Recover in a Personal Injury Case

Every case is different, but potential compensation may include:

• Emergency and ongoing medical treatment
• Physical therapy or rehabilitation
• Lost wages or lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage (in vehicle-related accidents)
• Funeral costs (in wrongful death claims)

Even if you’re not sure whether you have a strong case, we can help you assess your situation and make an informed decision.

Injured? Here’s What to Do Next

The moments after an injury are stressful. But what you do next can impact your claim. Here’s how to protect your rights:

• Get medical treatment right away — and follow through on all appointments
• Take photos or gather witness contact info if possible
• Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters without legal guidance
• Contact a personal injury attorney early — before the evidence disappears or deadlines pass

“Injury law is just as much about timing as it is about facts. The earlier we can evaluate the case, the more options you have.” — Shingler Law
