Peachtree Injury Talk

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes from the Jewkes Firm discusses the reality of injuries resulting from low-speed car accidents. Despite minimal visible damage to vehicles, occupants can suffer serious injuries like whiplash and lower back pain due to the way forces transfer to the body during a crash. Insurance companies often deny these claims by pointing to the lack of obvious vehicle damage, but medical evidence, expert opinions, and diagnostic imaging such as MRIs play a crucial role in proving injury. Jewkes emphasizes that modern cars absorb impact by flexing, sometimes hiding damage beneath bumpers, and that repair costs don’t necessarily reflect injury severity. He advises anyone experiencing symptoms after a minor collision to seek prompt medical attention and legal advice, as timely action is vital to securing fair compensation.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses the common issue of delayed pain following car accidents. He explains that symptoms often don’t appear immediately due to factors like adrenaline and inflammation, especially with spine, head, neck, and lower back injuries. Delayed pain is normal and can occur days or even weeks after the incident. Jewkes emphasizes the importance of seeking medical attention as soon as symptoms arise to document the injury and support any personal injury claim. While insurance companies may challenge claims if treatment is delayed, being honest and obtaining timely care can protect a victim’s rights. Jewkes advises anyone experiencing pain after an accident to get evaluated promptly, starting with urgent care or a primary doctor if specialists aren’t immediately available.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses the legal considerations parents should know if their child is injured in an accident. As a former insurance defense lawyer now advocating for injury victims, Jordan explains that the law treats minors differently than adults, particularly regarding statutes of limitations. While parents have two years to file claims for medical expenses, a child’s personal injury claim can typically be filed up to two years after they turn 18. Children can recover damages for pain, suffering, and future impacts, often resulting in higher compensation due to lifelong effects. Jordan also highlights safeguards for settlements exceeding $25,000 to protect the funds until the child reaches adulthood. He encourages parents to pursue claims even if the at-fault party is a family friend, emphasizing the importance of thorough assessments for long-term injuries and consulting specialists before settling. Finally, Jordan reassures parents hesitant to pursue legal action to at least seek legal advice, underscoring their duty to protect their child’s interests and ensure justice.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses medical malpractice law in Georgia, explaining that malpractice occurs when a medical professional violates the standard of care, causing significant injury. Jordan clarifies the difference between unavoidable complications and negligence, noting that known risks of procedures do not constitute malpractice. He outlines common errors leading to claims, such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, and retained surgical objects. While dental malpractice is governed by similar standards, it is often harder to prove due to typically less severe outcomes. Proving malpractice requires expert testimony to demonstrate breach of care, causation, and significant injury, making these cases challenging and costly compared to general personal injury claims. Georgia law requires expert affidavits before filing suit to prevent frivolous claims. Jordan advises those suspecting malpractice to act promptly due to strict statutes of limitation and to consult qualified malpractice attorneys early for proper case evaluation.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Law Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses slip and fall injuries and premises liability, explaining that property owners—whether landlords, businesses, or homeowners—have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. Jewkes highlights that liability arises when owners knew or should have known about hazardous conditions, such as spills or uneven surfaces, and failed to address or warn about them. He notes the importance of timing in these cases, as owners must have had a reasonable opportunity to fix hazards, and emphasizes the critical role of photographic or video evidence in proving claims. While warning signs like wet floor signs reduce liability, claims are still possible if hazards are concealed or not properly maintained. Jewkes also warns against owners destroying evidence and encourages injured individuals to seek legal advice promptly, assuring free consultations to help victims understand their rights and options for compensation.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes discusses how insurance companies use recorded statements to deny or reduce car accident injury claims. Drawing on his experience as a former insurance defense lawyer, Jordan explains that insurers seek early statements to establish fault and limit payouts. He warns claimants about the risks and common mistakes when giving these statements and advises caution, especially with the other party’s insurer. While your own insurer may require a statement, you have the right to request legal counsel and delay giving it. Jordan highlights how attorneys protect clients during this process and handle situations where damaging statements exist. He emphasizes the adversarial nature of insurance claims, controlled communication, and the need for early legal help to protect rights and treatment. The episode concludes with practical tips: avoid admitting fault, assume conversations are recorded, and consult an attorney promptly.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes explains how if you’re injured as a passenger in a car accident, you usually aren’t at fault—and that gives you strong rights. You can file a claim against the at-fault driver, the driver of your own vehicle (even if it's a friend), or both if they share fault. While technically claims name individuals, insurance companies typically pay. If both drivers deny responsibility, a lawsuit might be necessary to sort out fault. To protect yourself financially, purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM)—it's cheap and travels with you. And if you’re nervous about filing against someone you know, remember: insurance is there to cover exactly these situations.

He outlines how people may lie—or misremember—to avoid blame, and why quick action is critical.

He warns against speaking to adjusters about injuries, highlights the risks of handling a claim without legal help, and stresses the importance of hiring a firm with a reputation for fighting back.

Episode Summary In this episode of Peachtree Injury Talk, attorney Jordan Jewkes explains Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law, which affects how fault is determined in personal injury cases.
