Personal Injury Attorney in Johns Creek, GA

You likely have a case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury. Negligence means a person or business failed to act with reasonable care. A driver running a red light on GA-141, a property owner ignoring an icy walkway near a shopping center, or a business that knew about a hazardous floor condition and did nothing about it are all examples. Call us for a free consultation and we will tell you exactly where your situation stands.

Under Georgia Code § 9-3-33, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss that deadline and your claim is barred entirely. If a government entity is involved, notice requirements can be much shorter. Acting quickly also protects critical evidence: photos, witness statements, and surveillance footage disappear fast. Do not wait to speak with an accident attorney in Johns Creek.

Most Georgia personal injury cases settle before trial. However, early offers from insurance companies are often far below what your claim is actually worth. We prepare every case as if it will go to court, which puts real pressure on insurers to offer fair value. If a reasonable settlement cannot be reached, we will take your case to trial and fight for you there.

Your recovery depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, and how your injuries have affected your daily life. Georgia Code § 51-12-4 allows you to claim both economic damages (medical bills, lost income) and non-economic damages (pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life). Georgia does not cap compensatory damages in most personal injury cases. We evaluate every damage category to make sure nothing is left on the table.

We work on a contingency fee basis. That means no upfront costs, no hourly charges, and no fee at all unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we win. You can read more about how personal injury attorney fees work in Georgia before you decide.

Your safety comes first. Call 911 and get medical care right away, even if symptoms seem minor. Whiplash and internal injuries often appear hours or days later. Document everything at the scene: photos, video, and contact information for any witnesses. Report the incident to the appropriate parties, but do not give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before speaking with us.

Johns Creek Police reports are usually completed within 5 business days. You can pick up a copy at the Police Department, 11360 Lakefield Drive, or request it online through the city’s police report portal or an open records request. The department does not fax reports. Police records can be reached at 678-474-1600 during office hours. We can also request the report for you.

Georgia civil cases are generally filed in the county where the defendant lives. If the at-fault driver lives in Fulton County, your case is often filed in the State Court of Fulton County in downtown Atlanta. If the driver lives in another county, such as Forsyth or Gwinnett, the case may belong there. Any traffic ticket goes to Johns Creek Municipal Court, which is separate from your injury claim.

No. A ticket in Johns Creek Municipal Court is a separate matter from your injury claim. A ticket given to the other driver can be helpful evidence, but the insurance claim or civil lawsuit decides fault and damages on its own. If you got a ticket, you may still recover under Georgia’s comparative fault rule as long as you were less than 50 percent at fault.

Both roads have city road projects. Drivers must still slow down and follow lane shifts and signs. If a driver caused your crash, that driver is usually responsible. In some cases a contractor’s sign or barrier setup also matters, and claims against government bodies can have short notice deadlines. Call (770) 502-6116 so we can look at the facts early.
