Columbus, GA Personal Injury Attorney
Accidents come in many shapes and sizes but almost always have great potential to tear a life and/or a family apart. The law provides your right to recover money as compensation for what we lawyers call “damages.”

What Are “Damages?”
Damages can be broken down into several types and categories:
- Physical mental human pain and suffering, including mental and psychological injuries
- Medical expenses and bills, both current and future (not limited to co-pays and deductibles)
- Lost wages or earnings, both current and future
- Impairment of earning capacity, where you have a permanent injury or limitation on work you can perform
- Loss of enjoyment of life, maybe because you can no longer exercise, play golf or tennis, do aerobics, jog, garden, lift weights, go fishing, or play with your children or grandchildren; the list is endless and particular to your injury
- Loss of intimacy with your spouse or partner (also known as loss of consortium)
- Other out-of-pocket expenses, such as paying someone to clean your home, mow your lawn, or take care of your children while you are unable to do so
- Property damage, whether to your vehicle or other property damaged in the accident.
Automobile and other motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death in Georgia, Alabama, and throughout the United States. However, they are not the only cause. It is possible to sustain life-altering injuries—and, therefore, damages—in any type of accident.

Our Reviews
Trusted by Clients in Their Most Critical Moments
-
“Anytime one goes through legal issues involving a court appearance, it's always wise to engage with someone who knows the law and can advise on options and how to prepare for the best possible outcome. My experience with Ted Morgan was extremely positive. He can be trusted, and exudes confidence in his abilities to help. He is a good listener and he questions to understand so that he can provide direction and guidance in terms of the approach that will leverage the best possible outcome. I felt supported during the event and was very pleased with the final outcome.”- Former Client

“Ted assisted my wife and me with litigation that took over 7 years to finalize. When our first attorney had a conflict arise, Ted immediately developed a strategy and consulted with us on how we should proceed. Throughout the process Ted and his assistant kept us "in the loop" as to what was happening and our next steps.- Ryan
Ted was able to offer the direct contact that only a smaller, experienced firm can offer. We had several meetings at our home and even on a few weekends to make sure we were adequately prepared for our hearing. We attribute our final success (even after appeal by the other side) to Ted's tenacity and research of case law. He was the most prepared attorney, and it showed.
The professionalism of the firm also extended to his legal assistant. She was organized and prepared and definitely part of the legal team. I would recommend Ted without hesitation to anyone needing legal guidance.” -
“- Brian
Ted kept me continuously in the know of what options were available to me during my case. He was understanding to circumstances that come up which can postpone trial dates and agreeable outcomes and because of this, we were able to effectively work in our favor the desirable outcome that met all parties' time frames. He is very knowledgeable in the tangibles of the law relating to DUI less safe and what should and should not be conducted at specific points in time. It is this experience that lends itself to success. I would recommend Ted to anyone going through this process.” -
“Ted Morgan's law firm was very user friendly during the entire process. It was a new experience dealing with a law firm and I was very impressed with the time taken to explain the process and assist with every step until the completion of my case. The Law Firm is in a great location inside an excellent facility in downtown Columbus, GA. Mr. Morgan was recommended by a friend to assist me with my legal process, and I have since referred Ted Morgan's law firm to two fellow co-workers for legal assistance. The Law Firm shows that they truly care about who they represent and are willing to the extra mile.”- Nay
