I-20 East/West
Merge crashes at the Connector split and MLK exits.
Buford Hwy
Pedestrian strikes on the metro’s most dangerous walking corridor.

How We Build Your Case
Every personal-injury case is a negligence case. We establish the four elements and stack every available policy.
Duty
The other driver owed you a duty of safe driving on Georgia roads.
Breach
That duty was violated — speeding, distracted, drunk, or negligent.
Causation
The breach directly caused your injuries and losses.
Damages
You suffered real, measurable harm — medical, financial, personal.

Atlanta Crash FAQ
I was hit in Atlanta. What do I do first?+
Get to safety, call 911, and accept medical attention even if you feel okay — adrenaline masks injuries. Then call us before talking to any insurance company. We move on evidence preservation within 48 hours.
Where will my case be filed?+
Most Atlanta injury cases are filed with the Fulton County courts (Superior & State) (136 Pryor St SW / 185 Central Ave SW, Atlanta). Knowing the local judges, calendars, and jury tendencies shapes settlement leverage.
What if the at-fault driver had no insurance or fled?+
Your own UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist) coverage typically applies — most Georgia drivers don’t realize they have it. We find every policy, including yours.
What’s the deadline to file?+
Generally two years from the crash under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 — and as short as six months for ante litem notice when a government entity is involved. Under comparative negligence (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33), 50% fault bars recovery — never accept blame at the scene.
