NEAR LAW FIRM - PERSONAL INJURY LAW

An accident can change your life in seconds. Medical bills pile up, you miss work, and the insurance company is already working to minimize what they pay you. You deserve an advocate who knows Georgia personal injury law — and who will fight to make sure the person responsible for your injury is held fully accountable. Our Peachtree Corners personal injury firm regularly represents accident victims throughout Gwinnett County and North Metro Atlanta on a contingency fee basis where you pay no attorney fees unless we recover for you.**

**Contingent fees are not permitted in all cases, and court costs and other expenses are usually the client’s responsibility. **

We handle initial police report request, medical treatment requests, insurance negotiations, and filing suit in the County State Court or Superior Court when insurers won't pay fairly. Our team investigates accidents thoroughly, works with medical experts to document your injuries and future care needs, and builds the strongest possible case for just compensation. 

When you contact us, you'll have a Georgia lawyer fighting in your corner.

1. Car Accidents

Georgia's roads — including Peachtree Corners' heavily trafficked corridors along I-285, I-85, Peachtree Pkwy, and Technology Pkwy — see thousands of accidents every year. We handle rear-end crashes, T-bone collisions, drunk driving accidents, distracted driving cases, hit-and-run claims, and multi-vehicle pile-ups. We investigate thoroughly and fight against insurance company lowball tactics.

2. Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Crashes involving 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and commercial vehicles involve complex federal FMCSA regulations, multiple potentially liable parties (driver, carrier, shipper, maintenance company), and catastrophic injuries. We know how to investigate these cases immediately — before critical evidence like driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records disappears.

3. Slip & Fall / Premises Liability

Property owners in Georgia have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors. We represent clients injured in retail stores, grocery stores, parking lots, apartment complexes, restaurants, hotels, and private property throughout Gwinnett County. We document the hazardous condition, establish the owner's knowledge, and prove liability under Georgia premises liability law.

4. Wrongful Death

When negligence costs a life, the surviving spouse, children, or estate may have a claim under O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2. Georgia's wrongful death statute allows recovery for the "full value of the life" of the deceased — including both economic and non-economic components. We represent grieving families with compassion, patience, and absolute determination to achieve justice.

5. Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Georgia's dog bite statute under O.C.G.A. § 51-2-7 holds animal owners liable when their animal is known to be dangerous or when the owner violated a local ordinance — such as Gwinnett County's leash laws. We pursue full compensation for bite wounds, permanent scarring, reconstructive surgery costs, and emotional trauma, including for child victims.

6. Motorcycle & Bicycle Accidents

Motorcyclists and cyclists are among the most vulnerable users of Gwinnett County's roads — and among the most likely to be blamed unfairly when accidents occur. We fight aggressively against anti-rider and anti-cyclist bias in insurance negotiations and courtrooms, ensuring our clients receive full and fair compensation for their injuries.

7. Medical Malpractice

When a healthcare provider's negligence causes serious injury, patients and families deserve accountability. Georgia's medical malpractice law under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-71 requires a qualified expert affidavit to accompany the complaint — a technical requirement that underscores the importance of having experienced legal counsel. We work with qualified medical experts across specialties to build compelling, well-documented malpractice cases.

Step 1 — Free Case Review: 

We evaluate your accident, injuries, and potential liability at no cost and with no obligation. You'll know exactly where you stand before we take any next step.

Step 2 — Investigation: 

We gather police reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, accident reconstructions (for major crashes), employment records for lost wage claims, and medical records to build the foundation of your case.

Step 3 — Medical Documentation: 

We work closely with your treating physicians and, where necessary, independent medical experts to thoroughly document your injuries, treatment costs to date, and projected future medical needs — a critical component of maximizing your recovery.

Step 4 — Insurance Demand: 

We prepare a comprehensive demand package — including all medical records, bills, lost wage documentation, and expert opinions — and negotiate aggressively with the at-fault party's insurance company.

Step 5 — Lawsuit Filing (If Needed): 

If the insurer refuses to offer fair value, we file suit in the appropriate County State Court or Superior Court and begin the discovery process to build an even stronger case for trial.

Step 6 — Settlement or Trial: 

The vast majority of cases settle before trial, typically during mediation. If the insurer will not pay fairly, our experienced trial attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to a jury and fight for every dollar you deserve.

Step 7 — Recovery & Payment: 

After resolution, we manage your medical and insurance liens and negotiate reductions where possible to maximize your net recovery. We then provide a Settlement Statement showing your costs for transparency.

Near Law Firm has represented clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, including motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, and motorcycle collisions), slip and fall incidents, premises liability claims, insurance disputes, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims. Our attorneys are committed to fighting for the compensation injured individuals and their families deserve. However, every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.
