THE FIRM'S VISION
Demanding Justice.
It's Wheale Law Firm's vision that justice is achieved, tailored to each client's case.
Most injury lawyers define success in one way: money. Not surprisingly, these attorneys also treat each case and each client the same. You deserve more than the bare minimum, assembly-line justice.
Wheale Law Firm aims to bring dignity back to each client by listening and working toward their specific goals and needs.
Restoring
HOPE
Justice is defined differently in each case. And, at the end of each case, it's the Firm's vision that the client's trust has been earned, for life.

PERSONAL INJURY Q&A
WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
A claim for a personal injury can arise any time a victim suffers injuries for the careless, reckless, or intentional acts of another person.
The at-fault person or entity can be held civilly responsible for their actions and your injuries. Most often, this is done by pursuing a claim for negligence.

WHAT IS A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM?
A wrongful death is actually a broad term that's often used to help nonlawyers understand their legal rights.
Technically, it describes two separate legal claims created by Georgia's statutes. These claims arise when someone has lost their life due to the wrongful – or negligent – conduct of someone else.
These statutes permit surviving family members and/or estate administrators to pursue civil justice for the unnecessary loss of life. Incidentally, these claims allow the families to achieve closure on their sudden loss of a loved one.

HOW MUCH DOES A PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEY COST?
A personal injury and wrongful death attorney should only work on a contingency fee.
You have probably heard the slogan before - "no fees unless we win." This is true for all personal injury and wrongful death attorneys.
This means that there are no upfront costs, expenses, or retainer. Instead, the attorney advances his own money to cover the case costs. And, the attorney does not collect a fee - nor is he reimbursed his case costs - until your case finally resolves.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO PURSUE A CLAIM?
In Georgia, a personal injury or wrongful death victim generally has 2 years from the date of injury or death to initiate their claim in court.
A victim could forever lose their right to pursue their claim if they do not timely pursue it. This time period is known as the statute of limitations.
It's important for a victim not to wait too long before consulting with an attorney. An experienced attorney will need time to gather evidence and investigate your case. Also, in order to be eligible under certain insurance policies, the insurance carrier is required to receive timely notice.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT AN ATTORNEY CONSULTATION?
Attorney consultations for personal injury and wrongful death cases are free. No commitments.
In order to take advantage of this consultation, it's important that you are prepared. Bring evidence and documents for the attorney to review. This could include the police report, photographs, medical bills and records, and other similar items. This way, the attorney can provide precise answers to your questions.
You should also prepare a list of questions for the attorney. Decide the purpose of the consulation before you call the attorney - i.e. Do you want to hire an attorney? Do you want to understand your options? Do you need help with a property damage claim only?
Knowing your purpose and having specific questions for the attorney will help make the most out of your free consultation.

Your Solutions Start Here.

Unlike large advertising firms, Wheale Law Firm is territorial about time and caseloads. Each client's case deserves thoughtful attention.
The unique facts and circumstances of your case will dictate the legal issues. Wheale Law Firm works hard to uncover and master those facts.

Attack the Law
"Winning" the facts is not enough. Each detail must be proven - and responsibility shown - when the facts are applied to the law.
And, an attorney can't master the law until he masters the facts.
Wheale Law Firm works with the goal to set each case up to succeed by anticipating, identifying, and researching legal issues in advance.
