Personal Injury

McGahren, Gaskill & York, LLC’s personal injury litigation department is dedicated to pursuing remedies for those who have been injured whether financially, physically or emotionally. The firm prides itself on its willingness to enter the legal arena and pursue all remedies allowable under the law in order to ensure that negligent parties and/or their insurance companies treat the injured fairly. Damages claimed on behalf of clients, include but are not limited to, pain and suffering, medical bills, diminished earning capacity, physical impairment, permanent impairment/injury, disfigurement and scarring, lost wages, value of life, weekly benefits, attorneys fees, and punitive damages. The bulk of cases filed by the personal injury litigation department are in the surrounding metro Atlanta counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, Henry, Douglas, Hall, and Forsyth). Moreover, if you have been injured in an car/auto or truck accident, injured on the job, in need of social security disability, injured at property owned by another (such as slip & fall or negligent security), injured by a product, injured by the intentional act of another, suffered a catastrophic injury due to the carelessness of another or lost a loved one because of the negligence of another, McGahren, Gaskill & York, LLC offers a Free Consultation. Furthermore, in most instances, victims of personal injury are only charged a legal fee out of proceeds collected from the wrongdoer or the responsible insurance carrier. (Potential clients should note that while the firm advances a portion of the reasonable costs of pursuing a claim that the client remains responsible for such costs.) In other words, there is no fee unless McGahren, Gaskill & York, LLC can obtain you a recovery.

Due to the complex laws and regulations of the Social Security Administration, an experienced attorney can be helpful in advising you or representing you in your claim.

Premises Liability (Slip/Trip & Fall, Negligent Security, Homeowner, Etc.)-Injuries suffered on another's property, whether in a home, on a sidewalk, or in a commercial building or shop, are often the result of negligent maintenance or even complete disregard for the safety of others.
