• How do you begin a personal injury claim?

  Asked in Atlanta, GA | November 22, 2024

  I slipped and fell at a grocery store a couple days ago due to a slick floor with no warning signs. What should be my first steps in pursuing a personal injury claim? The fall injured my wrist, and I had to visit the emergency room. I took photos of the area but it just looks like a shiny floor.

• My son was fired for situation that derived from Epilepsy. The company was aware of. It has been over 180 days. Is there anything that can be done?

  Asked in Calhoun, GA | February 15, 2026

  His epilepsy causes memory loss, and he had 1 incident where he failed to let them know when he pulled a muscle. Which, for one, he had no remembrance of and did not really realize he pulled a muscle, since he unloaded boxes for a living, sore was sore most nights, then a second incident concerning an ankle issue they were aware of. Still, they said he should have told them about it before leaving. Again, his memory issue was the reason he didn't say anything, and the fact that they knew of this prior. He did have one valid incident. Which usually would not have ended in termination. His boss expressed regret that it had exceeded the requirements.

  Asked in Savannah, GA | March 25, 2026

  He was arrested in Oct. 2025. He is being held on a domestic violence charge for fighting with his wife. He had a 2nd hearing on Monday: They offered him 5 yrs. in and 15 probation. He has no money, no family there....no hope. He has a record, but has never been charged with anything like this. The lawyer he has is actually doing nothing to help. I don't know what to do, and I also have a very limited budget.
