Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers

Why choose our Atlanta personal injury team

Georgia focus, Atlanta facts. Metro cases are different—busy interstates (I-75/85, I-285), rideshare traffic, tractor-trailers, and work zones. We build cases with local context, court expectations, and insurer playbooks in mind.

Results mindset. We prepare every file as if it could go to trial. That leverage helps drive better settlements—and if trial is the best path, we’re ready.

Clear communication. You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

Contingency fee. You pay nothing up front, and no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you.

Exactly what to do after an Atlanta accident (step-by-step)

1. Call 911 and get to safety. For traffic collisions, a police report anchors the claim.
2. Get medical care immediately. ER or urgent care documentation helps prove causation—even when symptoms show up later.
3. Document the scene. Photos of vehicles, hazards, lighting, skid marks, injuries, and any cameras nearby.
4. Collect information. Drivers, witnesses, insurance details, company names (for commercial vehicles), and plate numbers.
5. Request the report. Most Atlanta crash reports are available through BuyCrash/APD records. We can pull it for you.
6. Avoid discussing fault. Stick to facts; casual apologies are often misused against victims.
7. Talk to a lawyer before the adjuster. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. We protect your statements and evidence from day one.

Pro tip: Keep a short daily recovery log (pain levels, sleep, missed activities, and work limits). Those notes often move the needle in negotiations.

Georgia personal injury law—what actually matters

The deadline (statute of limitations)

In most Georgia personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Claims involving government entities have shorter ante-litem notices (often six months for municipalities and twelve months for state agencies). Don’t wait—deadlines can quietly cut off your rights.

Comparative negligence (partial fault)

Georgia uses modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar. If you’re 49% or less at fault, you can recover, reduced by your percentage. At 50% or more, recovery is barred. Evidence and expert analysis can shift those percentages.

Damages you can pursue

• Economic: Medical bills (past/future), rehab, medications, medical devices, home/vehicle modifications, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity.
• Non-economic: Pain, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and the human impact on daily routines and relationships.
• Punitive damages: Available in egregious misconduct (e.g., DUI). There are statutory rules and limits; we’ll explain when punitive damages make sense and how they affect value.

Insurance that can change outcomes

• UM/UIM coverage: Add-on UM in Georgia can stack above the at-fault policy. Many clients don’t realize their own policy can unlock additional recovery.
• MedPay: Optional, helps with early medical bills regardless of fault.

The types of Atlanta cases we handle

• Car crashes: Rear-end, T-bone, multi-vehicle, hit-and-run, distracted and impaired driving.
• Truck/18-wheeler collisions: Hours-of-service violations, overloaded trailers, negligent maintenance, and hiring/supervision issues. Early preservation of logbooks and black-box data is critical.
• Motorcycle crashes: Visibility issues and rider bias require careful reconstruction and credible witnesses.
• Pedestrian & bicycle injuries: Midtown, Downtown, Buckhead, and campus corridors often involve speed and visibility disputes.
• Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): Coverage changes by app status, and layered policies can apply.
• Premises liability: Falls, negligent security, unsafe stairs/handrails, poor lighting, and recurring spill hazards.
• Work injuries/third-party claims: Beyond workers’ comp, we pursue negligent third parties (property owners, contractors, vendors) where facts support it. According to OSHA, some of the most common workplace standards that were violated in the US were hazard communication standards, respiratory protection standards, control of hazardous energy standards, powered industrial truck standards, eye and face protection standards, and machinery and machine guarding standards.
• Defective products: Consumer goods, auto components, industrial equipment—design, manufacturing, and warning defects.
• Medical malpractice: Misdiagnosis, surgical and medication errors, birth injuries; these require early expert review.
• Wrongful death: We guide families through both the wrongful death claim and the estate’s survivorship claim.

What your case could be worth (and what changes the number)

No two cases value the same, but decision-makers look at:

• Medical story: Diagnoses, imaging, treatment course, complications, prognosis, and future care needs.
• Work impact: Missed time, changed duties, career trajectory, and long-term earning capacity.
• Daily life: Pain, anxiety/PTSD, sleep, family roles, and hobbies lost or limited.
• Liability proof: Police findings, video, event data recorders, maintenance records, safety violations, and expert opinions.
• Coverage & assets: Policy limits, UM/UIM, MedPay, business policies, and collectible assets beyond insurance.
• Venue & presentation: Fulton/DeKalb dynamics, jury tendencies, and how clearly your story comes through.

Our job is to document, prove, and present these elements—then negotiate from strength.

How we build a winning Georgia injury case

• Immediate preservation: Letters to secure video, logbooks, telematics, body-cam, incident reports, and defect parts.
• Scene and witness work: Photos, measurements, canvassing for cameras, 911 audio, and independent witness statements.
• Medical proof of causation: Coordinating records and provider input to connect trauma to symptoms and future care.
• Economic modeling: Bills, EOBs, and expert input for wage loss and life-care planning when needed.
• Demand & negotiation: A trial-ready demand package with organized proof and a clear damages narrative.
• Litigation & trial: If the carrier won’t be reasonable, we file suit in the right court and move the case forward.

The typical claim timeline

• Free consultation: Liability, injuries, insurance, and deadlines.
• Treatment & investigation: You focus on getting better; we gather and lock down evidence.
• Demand package: When you’re medically stable—or we understand future care—we send a fully supported demand.
• Negotiations/mediation: Many claims resolve here once the insurer sees the risk.
• Filing suit: Strategic when needed to force movement or preserve rights.
• Discovery & experts: Depositions, records, and expert work.
• Trial or settlement: You make the final call with our advice at each step.

Atlanta resources you may need
