Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to start a claim. Certain circumstances can change this timeline, so contacting an injury attorney in Clayton County early helps protect your rights.

Will my personal injury case have to go to court in Clayton County?

Many injury claims settle out of court through negotiations. Some cases, however, require filing a lawsuit and attending hearings. The outcome depends on the specifics of your case and whether all parties agree to resolve it.

What if I cannot afford to pay legal fees upfront?

I work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay legal fees unless I recover compensation for you. I also offer low contingency fees. Most firms set their fee at 33-40% of your settlement, while I set mine at just 25%.
