Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Atlanta?After an accident, you may be tempted to deal with the insurance company on your own. But that’s exactly what they want. Insurance companies are trained to offer the lowest payout possible—and without a lawyer, you might not even realize what your case is worth.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer means:
- You won’t be pressured into a quick, unfair settlement
- You’ll have someone negotiating with insurance adjusters on your behalf
- Your case will be investigated thoroughly, including medical records and expert reviews
- You’ll have the ability to file a lawsuit if needed
Studies show that people who hire personal injury attorneys recover significantly more than those who don’t.
What to Do After an Accident in AtlantaIf you’ve been hurt, here’s what we recommend doing right away:
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine.
- Document the scene – photos, witness names, video, police reports.
- Do not admit fault or apologize.
- Keep a daily journal of symptoms, medical visits, and emotional impact.
- Contact a trusted personal injury lawyer before speaking with any insurance company.
These steps can protect your health and strengthen your case.

- We’ll listen to your story and provide a free consultation
- We’ll launch an investigation into the accident
- We’ll gather evidence, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions
- We’ll negotiate for full compensation — and go to trial if necessary
You focus on healing. We handle everything else.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire Us?You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:
- No fees unless we win your case
- Our payment comes from the settlement we recover for you
It’s our way of making legal help accessible to everyone.
What’s the Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Case in Georgia?Under OCGA § 9-3-33, most personal injury claims in Georgia must be filed within 2 years of the date of the injury. Wrongful death claims also have a 2-year limit.
Some exceptions apply, so don’t wait. The sooner we can start working on your case, the better your chances.
Understanding Georgia’s Comparative Negligence RuleGeorgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. That means if you are found 49% or less at fault, you can still recover damages—but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
If you’re 50% or more at fault, you won’t be able to collect damages. This is why having strong legal representation is so important.
