If you’ve been seriously injured in Atlanta or anywhere in the metro area, Butler Kahn can help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We are a trial-focused personal injury law firm located at 10 Lenox Pointe in Buckhead, and we handle serious cases including car accidents, truck crashes, wrongful death, and other catastrophic injuries throughout Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties.

The metro Atlanta area is a fast-paced environment, and it can be difficult to find Atlanta personal injury lawyers who can provide the level of personal service that your case deserves. At Butler Kahn, our top priority is you. We limit the number of personal injury cases we take so we can devote our full resources to each client.

Pursuing the best results possible is what drives our decisions. We accomplish this by both providing an unmatched level of personal service and by preparing every case as if we will present it to a jury – because even if your goal is to reach a settlement long before trial, the best way to make the insurance company settle is by demonstrating that we’re ready to go to trial and win.

Many of our cases ultimately settle before we ever walk into a courtroom. The reason these cases settle is that insurance companies know we are ready and willing to take the case to court. Insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to fight for their clients, and which will accept a lowball settlement and move on to the next case. We focus on quality, not quantity.

When you’ve suffered a personal injury in Atlanta, you only get one shot at justice. Make it count. Whether you’re dealing with a neck injury, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord damage, our attorneys understand the long-term impact these injuries have on your life.

If you believe Butler Kahn might be able to help you seek the compensation you deserve for your injuries, please contact us. Whenever you are ready to discuss your situation, we would like to hear from you. It costs you nothing to talk with us.

Fighting for the Full Compensation You Need

The lawyers at Butler Kahn are ready to fight for the full compensation you deserve following your accident. Georgia law allows injury victims to recover damages for the harm caused by someone else’s negligence. Depending on the facts and circumstances of your particular case, you might be able to seek compensation for these damages:

• Medical expenses (past, present, and future)
• Lost wages and time missed from work
• Lost earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job
• Disability and permanent impairment
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
• Pain and suffering from your injuries

Understanding Georgia Personal Injury Laws

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence system under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident, as long as your percentage of fault is less than 50%. However, your recovery will be reduced by your degree of fault.

Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, most personal injury claims in Georgia must be filed within two years from the date of the injury. Waiting too long to take action can result in losing your right to pursue compensation entirely. Claims involving government entities have even shorter deadlines.

Where Accidents Happen Most in Atlanta

Atlanta’s busy roadways see thousands of accidents each year. Our attorneys handle cases involving crashes on:

• Interstate 85 – One of Atlanta’s most dangerous highways with heavy commuter traffic
• Interstate 75 – The main north-south corridor through the metro area
• Interstate 285 (The Perimeter) – High-speed traffic circling the city
• GA-400 – Heavy traffic between Buckhead and North Atlanta suburbs
• Peachtree Street – Atlanta’s main thoroughfare with frequent pedestrian accidents
• Buckhead – High traffic volume around Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza
• Midtown – Busy intersections near Georgia Tech and Piedmont Park

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases in Atlanta

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Atlanta?

Butler Kahn handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront costs or hourly fees. We only get paid if you win your case.

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

In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially those involving government entities. It’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Should I talk to the insurance company after an accident?

We recommend speaking with a personal injury lawyer before giving any recorded statements to insurance companies. Insurance adjusters may seem friendly, but their goal is to pay as little as possible. They may try to get you to say something that could be used against you later.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still pursue compensation.

Do I need a lawyer if the insurance company offers a settlement?

Before accepting any settlement offer, you should consult with a lawyer. Initial offers are often much lower than what your case is worth. An experienced attorney can negotiate for a fair settlement or take your case to trial if necessary.
