An Insurance Lawyer Who Understands Insurance Law
Posted on Jun, 18 2010My name is Matt Nasrallah, I’m a trial lawyer and I want to help you. When I got out of law school, I was hired by a law firm that defended insurance companies. For my first four years of law practice my clients were insurance adjusters. Insurance adjusters are not bad people. They have a job to do. An insurance adjuster’s goal is simple: pay as little as possible on every claim. Why is that?
more >Understanding Day Care & Child Care Abuse
Posted on May, 26 2010I’m a lawyer. I see the worst of society. Daycares and child care facilities, like so many other businesses, have their ugly side. For single moms, single dads and working parents quality daycare is critical. What is represented as “quality” too often is nothing more than quantity. Daycare in Georgia has become a very profitable business for some local providers, and more increasingly for regional and national conglomerates. Profitability often hinges on cheap labor. Cheap labor comes in many forms, as so many parents are aware: inexperienced young workers, inconsistent part-time help, and even illegal aliens. When turnover is high a parent should be concerned. If your child is English speaking, then the worker responsible for your child should also be speak English. Beware of the inconsistent part-time help that comes and goes. Consistency is vital to quality care. Experience matters - ask about each workers experience. Addressing these issues can be key factors in protecting your family from day care or child care abuse.

Posted on Mar, 28 2009When a loved one is lost in a traumatic event the aftermath can be very confusing. Reviewing the will, trust considerations, filing documents in the probate court, appointing administrators, obtaining the life insurance proceeds, dealing with unpaid bills, and being compensated for loss of income are just a few of the complications. When the death is the fault of another you should consider having a lawyer to look into it. Typically the attorney will need to immediately file the proper estate documents in the probate court of the county of the deceased’s residence, and determine who is responsible for the death.

Posted on Mar, 28 2009Boating accidents on Georgia lakes usually involve personal water craft (PWCs) and/or pleasure boats. Often alcohol and speed play a role in the accident. In most cases the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and local police departments have already completed an investigation at the scene, and in some cases citations or criminal charges against the at fault party are pending.
more >Do I have enough auto insurance?
Posted on Mar, 28 2009Sometimes the driver who is at fault in an auto wreck is underinsured. This means that the amount of liability insurance that the at fault driver is carrying is not sufficient to pay for your medical bills, disability, pain and suffering, and lost wages. This can be particularly so when someone has been killed in the wreck. When this happens you need a lawyer to explore all possible sources of compensation.
