At Owens & Mulherin Injury Lawyers, we pride ourselves on taking every step necessary to help our clients get maximum compensation. Each case starts with us listening to your story—from your recollection of how your injury happened to the ways your day-to-day life has changed after your accident. Then we get to work by investigating the cause of your injuries, requesting medical records, and negotiating with the insurance company to ensure you get the money you deserve.
Also, cases in which an individual has significant future medical expenses, such as these, involve hiring life care planners who set out a detailed plan for the future medical care of the individual and the cost of same. It also involves having doctors approve the plans and then provide detailed testimony in support of those plans.

Our attorneys used to defend doctors and hospitals before starting this firm at the beginning of 2001.We decided at that time to switch sides and represent those who have been injured by the carelessness and negligence of health care providers.
We have literally handled thousands of automobile, motorcycle, tractor trailer, four-wheeler, and other types of moving vehicle collisions. These cases have ranged from relatively minor to loss of limbs and wrongful death.
When you go to a grocery store or a big box retailer, like Wal-Mart, Sam’s, or Costco, and you see the plastic shrink wrapped packages of drinks, dog food, and other products, how do you pick up same? Most of the packages have a pair of holes in the sides of the packaging. The industry often refers to them as hand-holds. The drinks or cans of dog food or other products are placed into a cardboard box and then a sheet of plastic is wrapped around the package and shrink wrapped – heated to shrink around the packaging. This leaves the holes on the sides of the product. Typically, there is no warning that the product should be picked up by the bottom, where the cardboard is located, and not by the holes on the sides.
Our firm has now handled two cases in which entire decks pulled away from houses, resulting in the deck falling sideways to the ground and severely injuring the occupants of the deck. In one case a large group of individuals were on a deck and were about to be served a low county boil, which was sitting over open flames, when the deck collapsed. This resulted in the boiling water and fire severely burning some of the individuals. We have also been involved in a number of cases in which the railing pulled away from the deck or otherwise broke.
A large paper mill in South Georgia was sold to a Mexican corporation. At the time of the sale, much of the paper mill’s equipment was fifty years old and did not contain modern safety features, such as electronic eyes, trip rods, barrier guards or gates, or other similar equipment which keeps employees’ hands and legs out of moving machinery. Shortly after the sale, both arms of a black male, from the elbows down, were crushed in a machine. His arms were saved but today they have almost no function. Despite extensive surgery to save the limbs, to build in cosmetic muscles, to treat the skin like third degree burns with skin grafts, and to release the tendons in the fingers to try to regain some movement, our client has almost no use of his arms and has no ability to sweat or feel sensation in his skin below the elbows.
Owens & Mulherin recently settled a class action lawsuit against the Chatham County School Board and the Teacher’s Retirement System (TRS) for 4.2 million dollars.
