I was hurt walking to or from a MARTA station. Who is responsible?

It depends on who caused it: a driver, a property owner, or in some cases a public agency. Claims involving a government entity can have much shorter notice deadlines than a typical injury claim, so call us early.

I was in an Uber or Lyft leaving Perimeter Center. Whose insurance pays?

Rideshare companies carry liability coverage that applies during trips, but who pays depends on whether the driver was on a trip, waiting for one, or offline. We sort out which policies apply. Learn more about Uber and Lyft accident claims .

What if I was partly at fault for the crash?

In Georgia, you can still recover if you were less than 50% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your share of the fault.

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

Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Claims against cities, counties or other public entities can require written notice much sooner.

Do I need to come to your Alpharetta office?

No. Many Sandy Springs clients meet with us by phone or video, and we can arrange to meet in person closer to you when needed.

CASES WE HANDLE

Crashes Near Perimeter Center: Sandy Springs or Dunwoody?

The Fulton and DeKalb county line runs north to south just west of Perimeter Mall. West of that line is Sandy Springs in Fulton County. East of it is Dunwoody in DeKalb County.
That line decides which police department writes your crash report, and it can affect where an injury lawsuit is filed. We start every Perimeter-area case by pinning down exactly where the crash happened and getting the right report from the right agency.
