In mid-March this year, my car was rearended pretty badly by another car at an intersection here in Atlanta, GA, causing hefty damage to my car and head concussion and neck/spine pain in me. I’ve got the vehicle damage part done by the insurance company but the bodily injury part, I was not happy with their initial offer. So, I have approached Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass, PC company and they have represented me professionally in my case claim. They were able to get me maximum claim, much to my pleasant delight. Thank you attorney Brett Hollett for representing me. Thank you Constance Tidwell, case manager, for keeping me posted regularly and being patient with me.

I had never hired a lawyer prior to this experience. I was extremely nervous and overwhelmed with the process of choosing one. Will came recommended from several sources I reached out to. He made the process so easy and gave me peace of mind through out our experience. Will was very professional on the business end and made me feel like I had a friend on my side during the entire process. He genuinely cared and went above and beyond by explaining every part of the process during my case. Always working around my unpredictable schedule. He was not only a fantastic lawyer, he was a great human being as well! I highly recommend his services!

My initial feeling after speaking with Ashley was relief; I was confident she had what it took to get the absolute best outcome in our fight for justice for our little man! There was never a moment I felt in the dark, didn’t understand something, or couldn’t reach her to answer any question or concern. She always expressed a genuine concern, care, and love in fighting for what was the best interest of our son and us as a family. Ashley is highly proficient and knowledgeable in what she does and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. She is truly one BADASS attorney and Superwoman got nothing on her!!

Courteous, Tenacious, Professional and attention to detail in a calming manner is how I would describe Will Lattimore, the attorney assigned to me. I had a major surgical procedure done last year that went wrong and left me not as I was. I contacted all the major billboard and TV attorneys and no one was interested. I assume it was not drastic enough for them. I was referred by a friend to Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass. From the beginning we met, Will, was very thorough in explaining how all will transpire in a timely manner. Patience, was the key, as it took a year for all the moving parts to work. During this time, I was contacted with steps and details being handled. I would highly recommend Will and this firm should you need legal representation.

If I need another attorney I’ll be back!

If you are looking for a law firm to represent you for an injury, brain injury case in a daycare like we did, then you should highly consider the attorneys at Turnbull, Moak and Pendergrass. We were very fortunate to have Ashley Mitchell take care of us from start to finish. She is very thorough and attentive to details. She cared about seeking justice for our son who was involved in a TBI from a negligent daycare center. Ashley has put forth so much effort and hard work into this case to get the outcome that our son deserved. If you are looking for a firm to represent and get you justice in a case involving you or your loved one then we recommend Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass.

After my car accident in 2020 life for my family turned upside-down. Everything, every movement every action took so much effort and thought, nothing about our life was easy anymore. I hired Tim Holdefer the 1st day we met, then he later on introduced us to Bobby at Turnbull to represent us in court. From the 1st conversations with Ashley on the phone I instantly felt cared for. I felt like my story mattered an I felt heard. Every step of the way they were by my side until we settled. Truly if my family, friends or I ever need a lawyer again for any reason I trust that if they can’t help, they will Send me to some one who will treat us equally as good… Thank you so much for all of your help, my family will never forget you all..

So incredibly kind, hardworking, and intentional. You’ll leave with a smile, a wave, and knowing they got the job done. Thanks again peeps

We heard about Ashley through word of mouth and I am so happy we did! She has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. My parents passed away in a trucking accident and through a devastating time Ashley stood by our side. She even came to New York for my parents funeral. She is a stand up person. She got us the outcome we wanted. She has been there every step of the way to help my family (she even listened to us cry a few times). If you are seeking a great law firm this one is highly recommended. Even further I recommend you asking for Ashley Mitchell to work your case. Ashley made it so that my family can open a homeless shelter in our parents name so they will never be forgotten. Ashley, from the bottom of mine, Coby and Sandra’s hearts we thank you tremendously.

Do I Need a Lawyer? When Can I Handle a Car Accident Claim Myself?

If you did not suffer serious injuries from your car accident, and you’re comfortable with gathering documents and handling the settlement negotiation process, you can certainly handle your car accident claim yourself. However, if you were seriously injured, if there is a dispute over who caused the accident, or if there are multiple parties involved, you should seriously consider hiring a skilled lawyer to handle your case. Before you handle your claim on your own, you should know that the other party’s insurance company and your own insurance company are not on your side.

They are a for-profit business. Their every move is intended to improve their bottom line. This law firm is absolutely by far the best ever, in my eyes. I am so thankful to have been able to work with you all through this journey. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to be on my side. Again, words can’t explain how much I sincerely appreciate every little thing you guys have done… Thank you so much for such an amazing outcome.

Steps You Should Take After a Car Accident

In order to maximize your chances of getting compensation after a car accident and to get the most compensation possible, there are certain steps you should follow after a collision. Those steps include the following:

1. Assess your safety and those around you.

2. Call 911 to report the accident and ask for medical assistance.

3. If possible, move your car to safety, or stay put and wait for emergency responders.

4. Exchange information with the other driver or drivers.

5. Gather information from anyone who witnessed the accident, including their name and number. If possible, ask them to stay and speak to the police.

6. Take photos and videos of all the vehicles involved, the surrounding area, your injuries, and any other important information, such as skid marks.

7. Get medical treatment right away. Do not delay. Even if you think you are fine, let a professional determine that. Adrenaline and shock can cover up serious injuries at first.

8. Notify your insurance company as soon as possible, but stick to the facts.

9. Carefully maintain your own records and notes, including bills, reports, etc. Also, keep a journal of all calls, doctor visits, and anything else important, and write down what happened or was said.

10. Finally, contact a car accident attorney right away. The sooner you have legal representation, the better.

If you were not able to do all of these things, don’t worry. Our personal injury lawyers at Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass are here to help. We know that car accidents can be traumatic and following all these steps to the letter may not be possible. Do your best to collect what evidence you can, and we will handle the rest.

Common Causes of a Car Accident

Car accidents can be caused by many different factors and events, but some causes are more common than others. These causes usually involve some sort of negligence or carelessness, and because of that, the driver can be held responsible for the damages they create. Some of the most common causes of car accidents include the following:

  • Speeding

  • Distracted driving

  • Failing to yield to the right of way

  • Tailgating or following too closely

  • Changing lanes without looking

  • Reckless or aggressive driving

  • Failing to see another vehicle, object, or person

  • Driving while tired

  • Drunk or drugged driving

  • Inexperienced and teen drivers

  • Defective car parts

Whether you are confident you know the cause of your car accident or you have no idea what happened, give Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass a call. Our team will thoroughly review all of the evidence regarding your accident, find and gather any video or witnesses, hire experts to determine what happened, and put all that information together to form the strongest case possible.

Types of Damages You Can Recover in a Car Accident Claim

Damages refer to the money or non-monetary things that you or your family lost because of a personal injury incident. The amount of damages in a car accident case depends on the losses suffered by the injured party. Damages can include economic damages, like medical bills, or non-economic damages, like pain and suffering. Some common damages you can get compensation for in a car accident claim include the following:

  • Medical bills, including doctor visits, surgery, tests, etc.

  • Lost wages from missed time off work

  • Loss of earning potential if you have to change careers

  • Physical pain and suffering

  • Mental anguish and emotional distress

  • Physical or mental disability

  • Disfigurement and scarring

  • Loss of quality of life

  • Property loss or damage

The specific damages available to you will depend heavily on the details of your specific case and the severity of your injuries. The more severe your injuries (like traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal injuries) usually means more medical treatment, longer recovery times, and more pain and suffering. Therefore, you are more likely to have a high-value claim. If you only suffered minor injuries that won’t result in any long-term complications, then chances are you will only receive compensation for your medical bills and some pain and suffering. Let Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass review your case and explain any potential compensation you may be able to recover.

Car Accidents That Lead to Wrongful Death

If your family member was killed in a car accident because of another person’s negligence, you may be able to seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Wrongful death lawsuits can be filed by the immediate family members of the deceased and can seek compensation for damages, including burial and funeral costs, medical bills that were accumulated before your loved one died, and the pain and suffering of the surviving family members. Contact us today if your family member died in a fatal car accident. We will review the situation and explain all applicable wrongful death laws to you, including what damages you may be able to recover and who may be held liable.

Dealing With Car Insurance Companies

After a car accident, you may feel like the worst of it is over. But things can get even more difficult when you hit the red tape created by the insurance companies. Insurance companies are experts at what they do, and they handle thousands of cases a year. Despite what they might say, they are probably not on your side and not working in your best interest. Insurers use complicated contracts and confusing and misleading practices to try and limit their company’s liability. They are a business, and they keep their profits high by keeping their bottom line low.

This means that every dollar they don’t have to pay you is a dollar they keep in their pocket. Insurance companies, big and small, know their policies and the law better than you, which is why you need a knowledgeable and experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. At Turnbull, Moak & Pendergrass, we have years of experience dealing with insurance companies. Let us handle the insurance companies while you worry about getting better and taking care of your family.

US Motor Vehicle Accident Statistics and Fatalities

  • There are about six million car accidents each year in the US.

  • Three million of those drivers suffer injuries, and two million of them suffer permanent injuries.

  • In 2019, 36,096 people were killed in fatal motor vehicle accidents.

  • This amounts to 11 deaths per 100,000 people, or about a death every 90 seconds.

  • The most common causes of fatal car accidents in the US include drunk driving (40%), reckless driving (33%), and speeding (30%).
