MSP is pleased to announce the successful resolution of 10 nuisance lawsuits addressing noise and vibration disturbances allegedly caused by a privately owned power plant in northeast Georgia. Over the past few years, our litigation team, led by Partner Jason Sanker, represented local residents who suffered diminished property values and significant disruptions to their daily lives. The cases were hard-fought. Through extensive discovery and motion practice, we overcame the defendants’ efforts to have our clients’ claims thrown out of court.
We then negotiated confidential settlements that provide substantial, meaningful compensation to each homeowner. This resolution follows MSP’s earlier settlement of 24 related nuisance lawsuits, bringing the total number of successfully resolved cases to 34.
These results reflect our firm’s longstanding commitment to standing up for Georgia residents. We are honored to have helped our clients achieve justice.
We’re pleased to share two recent workers’ compensation resolutions by MSP partner Rob Monroe.
In one matter, Rob represented a truck driver who injured his knee while performing routine maintenance. The employer initially accepted the claim but later suspended weekly benefits after a premature full-duty release. Rob worked with the treating physician to reverse that release and secured reinstatement of benefits; the case later settled for $40,000.
In another, Rob represented a manufacturing worker who injured her shoulder and remained out of work for nearly three years following surgery. When overuse led to similar problems in the other shoulder, Rob successfully argued it was a “superadded injury,” and the claim resolved for $50,000.
Georgia’s workers compensation system is complex, and contains a maze of terminology, procedural rules, and deadlines. If you or a family member has been injured at work, call MSP for a consultation with Rob about your rights.
MSP Partner Andy Garner, Chair-elect of the Georgia Highlands College Foundation Board of Trustees, spoke to the 2025 graduating class at their commencement ceremony on May 15. MSP has a longstanding history of supporting GHC. Firm partner, the late Judge James D. Maddox, recognized the need for accessible public higher education in Northwest Georgia, and through his influential role on the Board of Regents, he was instrumental in establishing Floyd Junior College in 1970. Now known as Georgia Highlands College, the institution has expanded with campuses in Rome, Cartersville, Dallas, and Marietta, offering bachelor’s and associate degrees in numerous fields of study. Congratulations to all the graduates!
