Bader Law - Personal Injury Attorneys - Atlanta, GA

Bader Law's Atlanta office represents injured clients throughout Fulton County and the greater metro area, from Buckhead and Midtown to East Atlanta and beyond. Atlanta is the busiest city in the state, and that comes with a level of traffic most Georgia communities never see. The Downtown Connector, where I-75 and I-85 run together through the heart of the city, is one of the most congested stretches of road in the Southeast, and I-285 carries a steady mix of commuters, delivery vehicles, freight trucks and rideshare drivers around the clock. That volume of traffic leads to a high number of serious wrecks each year, and our attorneys have spent years helping the people hurt in them get back on their feet.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Atlanta

• Car, truck and commercial vehicle accidents

Because Atlanta has one of the highest concentrations of rideshare activity in the Southeast, we regularly handle cases involving Uber and Lyft, and these claims often involve more than one insurance policy depending on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a pickup, or actively carrying a passenger. Sorting out which policy applies takes an attorney who understands how rideshare companies structure their coverage. The same is true of the commercial trucking traffic that passes through Atlanta on I-20, I-75 and I-85 every day. These cases often bring in federal trucking regulations and corporate insurance adjusters from the very start, and having an attorney involved early can make a real difference in how the claim is handled.

Georgia's Rules on Injury Claims

Georgia law generally gives injury victims two years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit, though certain types of cases carry different deadlines, so it's worth speaking with an attorney sooner rather than later. Georgia also follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault for an accident, as long as you were found less responsible than the other party, with your recovery reduced by your share of fault. Insurance companies are well aware of this rule and will often try to shift blame onto the injured person to reduce what they have to pay, which is one of the main reasons legal representation matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

In most cases, Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the accident, though the timeline can vary depending on the circumstances, so it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Case evaluations are free, and many personal injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis, which generally means you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

What should I do after a rideshare accident in Atlanta?

Seek medical attention, document the scene if you're able to, and speak with an attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster, since rideshare claims often involve multiple overlapping policies.
