Questions
What does a personal injury lawyer cost in Athens?
We operate on a contingency fee basis—no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless we win your case through settlement or trial.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Georgia?
Most personal injury claims have a two-year statute of limitations from the injury date. Exceptions apply for minors or government claims.
What does a personal injury attorney do?
We investigate your case, negotiate with insurers, file legal documents, represent you in court, and ensure you receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How is my case value determined?
We calculate medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and future care needs. Our former insurance defense experience ensures accurate valuation against insurer tactics.
Can I still recover damages if partially at fault?
Georgia's modified comparative negligence allows recovery if you're less than 50% at fault. Your award reduces by your assigned fault percentage.
