Bader Law - Personal Injury Attorneys - Carrollton, GA

Bader Law's Carrollton office serves clients throughout Carroll County and the surrounding west Georgia communities, including Villa Rica, Bremen, Douglasville and Heard County. Carrollton is home to the University of West Georgia, which brings a large student population and steady foot and bicycle traffic through the downtown area, and Highway 27 and the surrounding two-lane roads see a fair share of serious wrecks given their mix of local and through traffic. Carrollton is smaller than some of the areas we serve, but the injuries our clients suffer here are every bit as serious, and they deserve the same level of attention we bring to any case.

Types of Cases We Handle in Carrollton

• Car, truck and motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Premises liability and slip-and-fall accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• Construction and workplace accidents
• Workers' compensation
• Wrongful death

Many of our Carrollton cases involve two-lane highways and rural roads where higher speeds and limited visibility make crashes more severe, as well as accidents near the University of West Georgia campus involving student pedestrians and cyclists. We also represent clients hurt on the job at the manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and healthcare employers that make up a large part of the local economy, guiding them through Georgia's workers' compensation system from the initial claim through any necessary appeal.

What Carrollton Injury Victims Should Know About Georgia Law

Georgia generally allows two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, and a similar two-year window typically applies to wrongful death claims. Under Georgia's comparative negligence rule, you can still recover compensation even if you're partly at fault for what happened, as long as you're found less than 50 percent responsible, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. These rules can be complicated to apply in practice, which is one reason it helps to have an attorney evaluate your case early.

Questions Carrollton Clients Often Ask

I was hurt in a rural car accident with no witnesses. Can I still file a claim?

Yes. Police reports, physical evidence at the scene and expert reconstruction can all help establish what happened even without eyewitnesses.

Can I file a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury claim for the same accident?

It depends on the circumstances. If a third party, not your employer, caused your workplace injury, you may be able to pursue both a workers' compensation claim and a separate personal injury claim.
