Reis Law LLC

If your settlement offer includes most of what you've been looking for, it would make the most sense to take it and move on with your life. Sure, there's a chance you can stay at the negotiating table and get a little more - but at what cost? #reislawllc

When trying to establish the negligence of the plaintiff in a personal injury suit, it helps to ask whether they violated some objective legal standard. For example: in a car accident, you might ask whether the plaintiff ran a stop sign or drove over the speed limit. In a malpractice case, you might ask whether there was some accepted professional standard that was not met. It's not the only question that needs to be asked, but it's as good a place as any to start. #reislawllc

Even if your eventual goal is to settle out of court, part of the negotiation process should be preparing for trial. The most successful negotiation results are achieved when you have a Plan B that you really intend to fall back on if you aren't offered reasonable terms. #reislawllc

Those of us who have been stuck mostly at home through the holiday season have undoubtedly consumed a fair amount of take-out food. Hopefully, most of your favorite joints have provided quality service - but in the event that any contaminated food items have caused food poisoning or illness, we're here to help you get compensated. #reislawllc

Permanent loss of a primary breadwinner's income, whether to injury or premature death, can be tough to overcome. Make sure you have people on your side who are making sure you get as much as possible from their disability or life insurance. #reislawllc

The problem with compensation for non-financial damages is that it's nearly impossible to put a dollar number on things like long-term injuries or loss of priceless items. Monetary compensation will never be a perfect fit - it can and will always be only an educated estimate. #reislawllc

Wishing you and your family a safe and happy new year! Cheers to 2021!! #reislawllc

We don't always have the patience to read cautionary street signs or warnings on products, but failure to do so can hurt your chances of recovering compensation for your injury. If you were unreasonable in failing to take the precautions that were recommended, your negligence claim will be harder to base. #reislawllc

If you've been tied up in litigation or settlement negotiation for longer than you would have liked, remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Between the holiday season and the pandemic restrictions, things are slower than we all might like. However, we're confident that 2021 will bring more good news than the year that is now (finally!) coming to an end! #reislawllc

Everyone makes mistakes. If your official cause of dismissal is a relatively trivial mistake, but you suspect that you are being unfairly singled out, you may be able to claim wrongful termination. #reislawllc

The simple fact is that cash-money can be poor compensation for the loss of things that have no real quantifiable value - like the ability to engage in your old hobbies. In those cases, a fresh perspective is recommended along with your settlement amount. It's not just about how much money you get, but what you spend it on to help you fill those voids. #reislawllc

When unsecured creditors line up to divvy up the scraps after the secured creditors have taken their share, employees of the unwinding company usually have priority. The law understands that even among unsecured creditors, there is a difference in expectation and that employees need to be protected as much as possible. #reislawllc

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas Eve Breakfast- I know what Santa will be having tonight!

The flip side of CARES benefits and other COVID-related debt relief is that your plaintiff may suddenly not be able to pay you what you are owed. If you've received a judgment but are having trouble getting paid, ask us what your options are. #reislawllc

Wishing you and your family a safe and happy holiday! #reislawllc

Today we celebrate this country and its unique democratic process. We don't take liberty for granted, and as attorneys, we fight for it each and every day. #reislawllc

When considering how much compensation you deserve for lost workdays, don't just calculate your wages multiplied by the number of days you missed - make sure you also include the percentage of your annual bonus that you might have missed out on, as well as any vacation days you were not able to accumulate. #reislawllc

Extended unemployment benefits available under the CARES Act vary state by state, and can depend on the state's economic recovery. If you are currently unemployed but your state has reached the threshold of economic recovery that triggers the end of extended benefits, find out what your options are. #reislawllc

Nobody expects to get hurt while traveling and enjoying the outdoors, but sometimes accidents happen. If you're injured in a slip-and-fall accident at the park, don't just get up and leave. Inform the park ranger or parks department of the hazard and get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. The closer to the incident you can take these steps, the easier it will be for you to prove your case in court in the event you try to sue for compensation. #reislawllc

What a FUN time at our ReisLaw Office Halloween party today! #halloween2020

Happy Halloween from ReisLaw! #transforminglives

See a doctor as soon as possible after your accident, even if you feel fine. Without medical documentation, the only evidence left to judge your case will be the anecdotal evidence collected at the site of the incident. #reislawllc

One of the best ways to get the compensation you rightfully deserve is to sue all parties on the hook for the damage - for example, the opposing driver as well as their insurance company. You usually won't be able to double-dip, but the more pockets you go after the faster you will get what you are owed. #reislawllc

The more senior the employee, the more personalized the employment terms will be. Among other things, in exchange for above-average compensation, it is completely normal for c-level executives to be expected to sign heavy non-disclosure and non-competition clauses. #reislawllc

In cases where a car accident was caused by a faulty auto part, installed either by the manufacturer or a mechanic, there is more than one way for you to claim compensation. The more arguments you can present in your favor, the easier it will be to get paid. #reislawllc

Research shows that most car accidents happen at night, even though people do most of their driving during the day. With that in mind, taking care to do as many of our errands as possible when there is at least a little bit of light can greatly reduce the chances of being involved in an accident. #reislawllc

If you are in a work accident, take these steps: If needed, call for medical attention ASAP. Gather contact information for witnesses. Take photos of the accident scene & your injuries.... Tell your boss about the accident (in writing). Complete an incident report and keep a copy. Seek legal help from an attorney. If you've been hurt, don't let your injury case knock you down. Call us at 404-876-4200 and fight back

When both sides tentatively agree to a settlement out of court or without involving insurance companies, it's a good idea to bring in a lawyer to put together a written agreement that makes everyone comfortable. There's no sense in having a handshake agreement that ends up back in court because of a misunderstanding. #reislawllc

Accidents happen, but they don’t have to determine the rest of your life. Forge a new path to a better future. We have protected personal injury victims in Georgia for over 10 years, and we will help you conquer your case

People who suffer from moderate injuries are sometimes disappointed when they are given a settlement offer that is lower than what they'd expected. Remember that big payouts for pain and suffering are usually associated with injuries that caused just that - significant pain and suffering. Instead of being disappointed with the offer, try to count your blessings that your injuries weren't severe. #reislawllc

You've been in an accident. You're hurt, you're losing hope, and you aren't sure how to fight for your rights, but this will not defeat you. ReisLaw is here to battle beside you as you work to conquer your case Are you ready to start? Call us at 404-876-4200

With any luck, your injuries will be minor and things will go back to the way they were as quickly as possible. However, if circumstances should change or new evidence should come to light, inform your lawyer as soon as possible. The more information we have, the better equipped we will be to achieve favorable settlement terms. #reislawllc

Aside from physical damage, you are also entitled to compensation for any psychological effects of your injuries. In order to help make your claim for compensation, ask your doctor about seeing a mental health specialist. #reislawllc

Injuries sustained in car accidents on the way to or from work are subject to worker's comp as well as motor vehicle insurance (including no-fault insurance). Sometimes, it is possible to collect from both - so don't settle for just one without looking into your rights. #reislawllc

Were you in an accident? Don't feel lost. Fate is putting you on the right path for your future ReisLaw is here to help you on your journey to justice. With your tenacity and our tools, you will get the compensation you need

Give your lawyer as much information as you can when describing your injuries. Don't just name an injured bone or limb - the sooner you let us know the type of injury, extent, severity, length of recovery, long-term effects, and as much relevant information as possible, the sooner we can get the ball rolling on filing your claim! #reislawllc

What if your accident helps you find your purpose? You will defeat this and forge a better future. We will help. Call ReisLaw now at 404-876-4200 to crush your case

When the other side does not have insurance (or when it is not enough), you can potentially look at your own health insurance, car insurance, or uninsured motorist insurance for coverage. Don't face the challenges alone - have a lawyer on your side to look for every possible avenue of compensation. #reislawllc

Although the usual rule of thumb is that chickens should not be counted before they've hatched, the hard reality is that personal injury settlements often need to be finalized before we know the full extent of the injuries and what they will cost. Although it may be unpleasant, consider long-term consequences before accepting any terms. #reislawllc

Even if you settle with the opposing party before going to trial, you may want to take the agreement to court to get an order of settlement so that you have a proper paper trail for the purpose of medical records, bank accounts, and the like. A handshake is good in principle, but might not serve you when approaching the technicalities. #reislawllc

Even if you have received a payout for your injuries under your state's no-fault insurance laws, you still may be entitled to additional compensation from the other party for certain damages. Find out how to get the maximum payout that you deserve. #reislawllc

Settlement negotiations are meant to be confidential, and in most cases, your willingness to compromise in the context of negotiations with an insurance company cannot and should not be used against you in the event the case does end up going to court. As always, consult a lawyer before speaking directly with representatives of insurance companies. #reislawllc

In most states, there is no legal requirement to pay severance pay to an employee that is fired. Always check your offer letter to see what the policy is regarding severance pay. If you are unhappy with it - remember that you are allowed to negotiate. #reislawllc

In order to get an accurate picture of the extent of your injuries, talk to as many healthcare professionals as you need to. Remember, injuries don't always show up right away. Especially with head trauma, always ask your doctor if and when you need to book a follow-up appointment and make sure to keep all medical documents for your attorney. #reislawllc

Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Thanksgiving! #reislawllc

Think twice before posting anything on social media about your claim. Rest assured that your employer's lawyers and HR department are looking for any excuse to have your claim dismissed or reduced. #reislawllc

In today's world, emotional well-being should be taken into account as part of any injury compensation package. Don't forget to bring up mental health issues in your conversations with your lawyer. #reislawllc

When you are at home suffering from injuries, there are things you can't control. A personal injury suit can help you at least control what you can - take action today to claim the compensation you deserve. #reislawllc

One common cause of slip-and-fall accidents is that flooring gives the appearance of being more slip-resistant than it actually is. "Slippery When Wet" signs aren't just a safety standard - they are there to remind the public to be mindful of their surroundings. #reislawllc

When deciding when it's time to accept a settlement offer, you need to balance between demanding what you feel you deserve and the cost of ongoing litigation. In some cases, it's smart to take the money and walk away - in others, the price of litigation is a small change compared to getting what you are owed. #reislawllc

If you are the primary breadwinner in your family, your compensation for your injuries needs to include lost time at work - not just medical bills. Don't accept a settlement that will leave you bearing the burden of providing for your family when you are unable to work. #reislawllc

Newer cars now come with cameras and other assisted-driving technologies, but they don't take away from the ultimate responsibility of the driver if they cause an accident. Still, if it's clear that the driver was relying on a system that malfunctioned, it's possible that a product liability claim could also be filed regarding the faulty device. #reislawllc

Countless studies have shown that the slower you drive, the less likely you and the people around you are to get hurt. Even when the other side is at fault, you will minimize damage by following all traffic laws and regulations. #reislawllc

It can seem like good sense to walk away from a toxic work situation without compensation just for the sake of starting fresh - and in many cases it may be good for your career or your reputation to keep quiet about your experiences. Still, there may be ways to get you some of what you are owed and still keep your good name intact. Ask us about your options. #reislawllc

States across the country have been given millions of dollars of relief money in the form of National Dislocated Worker Grants. Find out if you qualify for temporary, paid employment to get you through this difficult time. #reislawllc

In states where the weather takes a turn for the worse during the winter months, drivers may have extra requirements like driving with fog lights at all hours, or switching to winter tires. If you are involved in an accident while not complying with seasonal regulations, your claim might be denied or reduced. #reislawllc

Injuries can rob you of things that have no monetary value, such as the ability to work in your chosen profession or engage in meaningful hobbies. While money can never truly compensate you for quality-of-life issues, bring them all up with your lawyer at the earliest possible time so that they can be factored in to the claim. #reislawllc

If you are being treated unfairly at work, it might not be the best strategy to sue right away. In some cases, you might be better off staying put at your job for a while longer to collect more evidence of wrongdoing. #reislawllc

You probably have issues that are less important to you when negotiating a settlement or coming to terms with an insurance company - but you don't necessarily have to let them know what they are. A better negotiating tactic would be to let your lawyer know all the different considerations and talking points, and see what kinds of terms you are offered. #reislawllc
