MADD Georgia recognized Ragland & Jones, LLP as the “Top Fundraiser” at its “Walk Like MADD” campaign held on September 20, 2008 at Zoo Atlanta. This is the second year in a row that Ragland & Jones, LLP has received the “Top Fundraiser” award at MADD Georgia’s annual walk campaign.

During the three years (2006-2008) that Ragland & Jones, LLP has sponsored and participated in the annual fundraising walks held by MADD Georgia, the firm has contributed and raised over $22,000 in funds to support MADD Georgia. The stated mission of MADD is to “stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.” Ragland & Jones, LLP is dedicated to safety advocacy, and is particularly dedicated to supporting MADD Georgia.

Ragland & Jones, LLP agrees with MADD that drunk driving is a serious criminal offense which imperils millions of innocent motorists and pedestrians every day. The devastating human consequences of drunk driving cannot be overstated. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has indicated that in 2007, there were 12,998 people killed in “alcohol-impaired crashes.” There were 13,491 fatalities in alcohol-impaired crashes in 2006. NHTSA defines an “alcohol-impaired crash” to be one where at least one driver of the automobile or motorcycle had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher. In 2007, there were 441 deaths due to alcohol impaired crashes in Georgia alone. NHTSA has estimated that in 2006, 35% of all traffic deaths occurred in crashes in which one driver had a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher, and that some alcohol was present in 41% of all fatal crashes.

Ragland & Jones, LLP recognizes the magnitude of the drunk driving problem and the untolled human devastation which impaired driving leaves in its path. That is why Ragland & Jones, LLP believes in the mission of MADD and is firmly committed to the continued support of that organization and its cause.

Ragland & Jones, LLP is an Atlanta law firm made up of trial attorneys focused on severe injury and wrongful death litigation. In particular, attorney Daniel Ragland has considerable experience representing victims of drunk driving, and has handled many civil claims and lawsuits against drunk drivers. He also has extensive experience with dram shop lawsuits against businesses which unlawfully sold alcohol to an underage driver or negligently continued to sell alcohol to "noticeably intoxicated" adults.

Ragland & Jones, LLP Will Sponsor GTLA’s “Height of Excellence” Reception Held to Honor Members of Georgia’s Judiciary and to Give the Inaugural “Anthony A. Alaimo Award for Judicial Excellence.”

On September 18, 2008, the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) will launch its first “The Height of Excellence” reception to honor members of the trial court and appellate judiciary in Georgia. Personal injury law firm Ragland & Jones, LLP will be one of several law firms to sponsor this very special new event. The reception will be held at the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead and will begin at 6:30 p.m. Along with trial attorneys, attendees at the reception will be trial judges presiding over the state and federal courts throughout Georgia, as well as appellate justices from the Georgia Court of Appeals, Georgia Supreme Court, and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit which is located in Atlanta, Georgia. The GTLA Host Committee planning this event has stated that, “Hundreds of members of the state and federal judiciary are expected to be in attendance as special guests of GTLA.”

Earlier this year, the Executive Committee of GTLA decided that there needed to be a permanent annual event to recognize excellence in the Georgia Judiciary. Therefore, it was decided to honor the judiciary with an annual reception to be known as “The Height of Excellence.” Ragland & Jones, LLP is proud to be one of the first sponsors of this event and to have made a $1,000 contribution to help provide necessary funds.

Height of Excellence

The GTLA Executive Committee has also now created the “Anthony A. Alaimo Award for Judicial Excellence,” which will be bestowed upon a worthy member of the trial or appellate judiciary in Georgia at this inaugural event and annually at this event every year in the future. This award was created in honor of the Honorable Anthony A. Alaimo, Senior Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. It has already been announced that Judge Alaimo will be the first deserving recipient of this award which has been named in his honor. Before being appointed to the federal district court in 1971, Judge Alaimo served as the 13th President of GTLA in 1968. Before attending law school, Judge Alaimo served in the U.S. Army Air Corps and had flown a B26 as a member of the 322nd Bomb Group during World War II. His plane was shot down over the North Sea and he was captured by the Germans. Judge Alaimo was one of many American prisoners of war who daringly escaped from a German POW camp.

Daniel A. Ragland, a founding partner at Ragland & Jones, LLP, has been invited to attend the 2008 MADD National Conference to be held in Dallas, Texas on September 4-6, 2008. The highlight of MADD’s annual conference is always its National Victim/Survivor Tribute which is a candlelight vigil held to honor deceased and injured victims of DUI crashes. This year, that important event will be held at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas during the evening of Friday, September 5, 2008. Also scheduled is a keynote address by the current MADD National President, Laura Dean-Mooney, during the evening of Thursday, September 4.

Daniel Ragland is a civil trial attorney who regularly represents victims of drunk driving in lawsuits against the DUI offender. He has also handled many dramshop liability cases against persons or businesses who have negligently served or sold alcohol to an underaged youth or a noticeably intoxicated adult. Mr. Ragland has been an active member of MADD Georgia since 1990. He served as “Legal Advisor” and as a member of MADD Georgia’s Board of Directors during 1992-1998. Currently, he is a member of the State Advisory Council of MADD Georgia, a position he has held since 2002. Mr. Ragland has been asked on many occasions to conduct training workshops for MADD victim advocates on topics relating to civil law claims against drunk drivers, as well as civil claims based upon negligent entrustment, vicarious liability, dramshop liability or social host liability. Mr. Ragland has been invited to make presentations about civil law remedies available to victims of an alcohol-related traffic collision at training workshops conducted by MADD chapters in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Washington.

Attorneys at Ragland & Jones, LLP Will Serve as Coaches for High School Mock Trial Teams in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

The Georgia Mock Trial Competition helps high school students gain an understanding of the legal system by providing opportunities for teams of high school students to compete in “mock trials” where the participating students assume the roles of lawyers and witnesses in a hypothetical court case. The Georgia Mock Trial Competition is sponsored and conducted by the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the State Bar of Georgia. Daniel A. Ragland will again serve as one of the volunteer attorney coaches for the Mock Trial team from the Wesleyan School located in Norcross, Gwinnett County, Georgia.mock%20trial%20logo.gifMr. Ragland also coached the Wesleyan School Mock Trial Team in 2004 and 2005. Evan W. Jones will serve as one of the volunteer lawyer coaches for the Mock Trial Team at Northview High School in Duluth, Gwinnett County, Georgia. Each of these teams will compete at the Regional Competition to be held on February 22-23, 2008 at the Gwinnett County Courthouse in Lawrenceville, GA. This year, the Georgia Mock Trial Competition will concern a criminal case about a high school senior who allegedly sold drugs to an undercover police officer. The fictional defendant claims entrapment as his primary defense. The Georgia Mock Trial Competition is designed to help participating students improve their proficiency in such basic skills as listening, speaking, reading, and reasoning. Mock trials help students gain a basic understanding of the legal process through which our society chooses to resolve many of its disputes. And, while obtaining this knowledge, high school students develop useful questioning, critical thinking, and oral advocacy skills, as well as significant insight into the area of law in question.

Personal injury attorneys at Ragland & Jones, LLP have always been strong supporters of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) whose mission is “To stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking.” The firm’s commitment to MADD was demonstrated most recently by its contributions to the 3rd Annual “Strides for Change” 5k walk which was held this Saturday, September 15, 2007, at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park. For the second year in a row, Ragland & Jones, LLP was a corporate sponsor of this event with a sponsorship donation of $2,500. In addition, at the walk this past Saturday, Ragland & Jones, LLP received the “Top Corporate Sponsor Award.” This award recognized that the law firm’s walk team raised more money than any other corporate walk team participating in the event. Attorneys and staff at Ragland & Jones, LLP raised nearly $6,000 in additional contributions from other lawyers throughout Georgia. Combined with its corporate sponsorship donation of $2,500, Ragland & Jones, LLP was responsible for raising over $8,000 for MADD Georgia. The law firm was delighted with the success of its fundraising efforts and with the opportunity to help MADD support the victims of drunk driving and make our roads safer for everyone.

Attorneys at Ragland & Jones, LLP Chosen as "Super Lawyers" for the 4th Year in a Row

Atlanta personal injury attorneys Evan W. Jones and Daniel A. Ragland have been chosen as “Super Lawyers” in the area of medical malpractice. They were both previously recognized as “Super Lawyers” in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Less than 5% of all attorneys in each state are selected as “Super Lawyers” so this is a recognition which Mr. Jones and Mr. Ragland are grateful to have received. The list of all “Super Lawyers” in all categories in Georgia will be published in the March 2007 edition of the Atlanta Magazine.

SuperLawyers_logo_2007sm.jpg

For more than 8 years, Evan W. Jones practiced exclusively in the field of medical malpractice at law firms dedicated to the defense of physicians, hospitals and nursing homes named in malpractice lawsuits. In 2002, Mr. Jones left the defense bar to begin representing patients who were the victims of malpractice. In addition to medical malpractice, Mr. Jones is considered to be one of the Georgia’s leading experts in nursing home litigation. He has successfully pursued many cases on behalf of nursing home residents and their families where there had been problems of abuse or neglect leading to malnutrition, decubitus ulcers, and other injuries or death.

Daniel A. Ragland has spent nearly two decades representing victims of medical malpractice. Several cases pursued by Mr. Ragland resulted in multi-million dollar pre-trial settlements on behalf of families whose member died or sustained permanent disabling injuries due to medical negligence. Mr. Ragland is also considered to be one of Atlanta’s best trial attorneys in the area of handling lawsuits against drunk drivers and dramshop liability cases against bars or restaurants which have negligently or illegally served alcohol to underaged drivers or noticeably intoxicated adults. Mr. Ragland also has considerable experience with trucking accident cases, product liability, and food contamination outbreaks.

These trial attorneys can be contacted at the Atlanta offices of Ragland & Jones, LLP toll free at (866) 526-5891 or by local phone (770) 407-7300.
