Personal Injury

For over fifty years, Forrest B. Johnson & Associates has represented individuals who have been injured due to the negligence, intentional conduct or otherwise harmful acts of another person or entity.  

Personal injury encompasses a broad range of cases from wrongful death accidents, automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents and bicycle accidents, to slip and fall accidents, workers’ compensation injuries, and dog bite injuries. Most personal injuries include physical, emotional, and financial hardships.  
 
As a result of our experience, knowledge, and skill, we help victims and their families obtain monetary settlements for their pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses. Through our aggressive representation and preparation, in most cases we are able to obtain favorable settlements outside of the courtroom, making the experience less stressful for our clients.  

Wrongful Death

  • The loss of a loved one is a tragedy of immense proportion. Nothing is ever quite the same.
  • If the loss is needless or caused by the carelessness or negligence of another, the grief is even greater.
  • A family that has suffered a wrongful death has rights that should be respected.
  • The negligent party should be held accountable for the damages they caused.
  • Monetary damages cannot replace the loss of a loved one, but they can help maintain the family’s quality of life, assure a college education for children, and provide necessary comforts.
  • Insurance companies may try to take advantage of grieving families by offering quick settlements.
  • Such settlements are often grossly inadequate.
  • Forrest B. Johnson & Associates has represented hundreds of families in wrongful death actions, offering a combination of strength and compassion.
  • If you have lost a loved one due to negligence, you must act within a limited time period to preserve your rights.
  • To learn more about your legal options, don’t delay in seeking information.

Workers' Compensation

Why do people seek legal advice from a workers’ compensation attorney? Because so often, when someone is injured in a workplace accident, employers and insurance carriers look for every possible way to deny or minimize the legitimate claims of an injured worker.

Were you injured at work?

Did you undergo surgery as a result of a work related injury?

Do you have a permanent disability or impairment as a result of a work related injury?

Do you suffer from repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel or other cumulative trauma?

Are you a victim of wrongful termination because of a job injury?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, contact us immediately to learn more about your legal rights. The workers’ compensation insurance carrier and your employer want your injury to cost them as little as possible in terms of both money for medical treatment and time away from work. Forrest B. Johnson & Associates will make sure you get the medical treatment you deserve and the recovery time you need.

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing homes promise to take care of the elderly and vulnerable adults they house. But we all know that care could simply mean  providing shelter and that is all! Georgia & Florida Nursing Home laws specifically address what kind of care patients and residents must receive, how much nursing care they should receive daily, and much more. In exchange for taking on this “duty to provide care,” the U.S. nursing home industry takes money from families, individuals, federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, and others to the tune of billions and billions of dollars in profit each year.

Meanwhile, thousands of the people that many nursing homes have promised to protect and care for are abused, seriously injured, or die unexpectedly under their watch every year.

If you suspect that nursing home abuse is happening to someone you love, there are things you can do to put a stop to it. One of the most important things is to talk with an experienced lawyer.

Dangerous Drugs

Most widely-used drugs can help people. But those same drugs can cause severe side effects, medical conditions, and even death.

If you have been taking medication and experience side effects, or if a loved one dies in connection with medication, you need experienced legal support to pursue full and fair compensation. A free case review with our experienced attorneys can help determine the extent of your injuries and your claim.
