Practice Areas
The Georgia Department of Transportation’s 2008 crash analysis reports that an average of almost 1,200 accidents happen each day in this state.
In some cases, insurance and standard law enforcement efforts do not properly address the cause of an accident. If your injuries resulted due to no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation.
If you’re wondering whether you have a case, don’t wait to find out. These claims often fail or succeed based on the evidence presented, which may include testimony or photographs that become harder to obtain as time goes on.
Additionally, all personal injury claims must be filed within the statute of limitations. In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years. While this may sound like a long time, it’s easy to get so focused on your immediate physical, mental, and financial needs that, before you know it, two years have passed, and you can no longer file a claim.
While some car accidents are the fault of no one, countless numbers of them are the direct result of the negligent and careless actions of drivers. In dealing with car accident claims, we thoroughly examine the circumstances of the accident to ascertain the cause and to identify the at-fault party.
Common causes of car accidents include:
- Following Too Closely
- Failure to Yield
- Distracted Driving
- Improper Lane Change
- Speeding

Medical professionals and facilities do not just have moral and ethical codes that guide the treatment they provide; they operate under strict legal guidelines that are in place to make certain patients receive the appropriate care, at the right time, using the right tools and medications, with the proper medical staff. If you have suffered unnecessarily or received additional injury as the result of poor, untimely, or otherwise negligent care from a medical professional, it is your right and responsibility to make certain that justice is served to help prevent future patients from needless discomfort. Let the law offices of Josh D. Tucker help you and your family.

- Childbirth Injuries
- Medication Errors
- Surgical Errors

If you or a member of your family has suffered while in the care of a nursing home, or at the hands of a home health care worker, we’re here to help.
Causes of Neglect
There is no one specific cause of nursing home abuse, and any number of issues can drive a nursing home staff member — or even another resident — to harm an elderly person in a nursing home.
- Lack of Training
- Poor Staff Pay
- Nursing Home Mismanagement
- Understaffing
- Under Budget Homes
