Two Jobs
Your job is to get better.Our job is the heavy lifting.
We take the calls, pull the records, track the deadlines, and argue with the adjusters. All of the grunt work, from start to finish.
- 1
Free consultation
Phone, video, or in our office. If we think we can help, we put every insurer and at‑fault party on notice, so their calls go to our phone instead of yours.1
- 2
Investigation & demand
We work to lock down the incident report, surveillance video, and inspection records before they disappear, then add up every dollar of damages. Our demand will tell the insurance company what happened, what it cost you, and what we expect them to pay.1
- 3
Resolution
If their “best” offer still isn't fair and you decide to file, we prep the paperwork, file the lawsuit, serve the parties, and begin discovery. If we win, we handle the math and the paperwork.3
Who we represent
Slipped, tripped, or fell?We take on the property owner.
Whoever owns or runs the property, the work is the same: identify every party responsible for the hazard, prove what they knew about it, and pursue every source of recovery. We investigate, build the case, and carry it from there.
Our clients

- Apartment residents and their guests
- Hotel guests
- Visitors to offices, gyms, and venues
- Guests at private homes
The other side
- Stores and supermarkets
- Restaurants and bars
- Apartment complexes and landlords

Do I need a lawyer?
We can't tell you that you need a lawyer,but you may wish you had one later.
Two reasons, and the big insurance companies are counting on you not knowing either of them.1
We know how they arrive at their number
An adjuster's first offer is not a valuation of your injury—it's a “go away” number straight from a computer system built over decades to close your claim quickly and for as little as possible.
- Record your statement within days, locking you into your story.
- Make an early offer before anyone knows what the injury will cost.
- Get you to sign a final release of all liability for their insured.
If you're unrepresented, you are hoping for an insurance company to do the right thing while they take every possible step to ensure they'll never have to. They are trained to build a file so they can eventually argue all of your injuries were minor, pre-existing, or partly your fault.
We don't let them run out the clock
Without a lawyer, the only pressure on them is your patience.
- They know the two-year deadline as well as we do.
- They have no reason to offer a fair number to someone who may not be prepared to file and serve a lawsuit on their own.4
- A process server at their insured's door with a summons flips the pressure back on to them.
We build every case from day one as if it will be tried, and every letter the insurance company gets from us makes that threat clear. When waiting stops working in their favor, the clock starts running on them.
What Georgia law says about your claim
What the law gives you,and what it can take back.
Georgia law puts the cost of an unsafe property on the owner who failed to keep it safe. It also takes back a share for every point of fault attached to you, all of it at fifty percent, and the whole claim once the deadline passes.
The owner owes you ordinary care
Georgia law sets the owner's duty by why you were there. An invitee is someone the owner invites in for business that benefits the owner, such as a customer or a tenant in shared areas. The owner must use ordinary care to keep the premises and its approaches safe for invitees (O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1), which means inspecting for hazards and then fixing them or warning about them, including hazards a reasonable inspection would have found. A licensee is someone there with permission but for their own purposes, such as a social guest in a private home, and the owner is liable to a licensee only for willful or wanton injury (O.C.G.A. § 51-3-2), a much higher bar. A landlord who has handed over the property can still be liable for failing to keep it in repair (O.C.G.A. § 44-7-14). An owner who fails the duty it owes is responsible for the injuries it causes, and their liability insurance, if any, may pay on their behalf.1
They will say you should have seen it
Georgia courts compare what the owner knew, or should have known, about the hazard with what you could have seen using ordinary care for your own safety. Expect the property owner to point at your shoes, your phone, or the lighting. Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, every point of fault attached to you comes off your recovery, and at fifty percent you recover nothing. The proof of what the owner knew is usually theirs: cleaning and inspection logs, incident reports, and camera footage that many systems record over within days.
Two years, and sometimes less
Georgia gives most injured persons two years to file a lawsuit (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), and the evidence you may need can disappear long before then.5 Some people may have even less time. Three common reasons:
- A policy or a contract you agreed to governs the claim. It can set a shorter deadline than the law provides.
- A city, county, or state entity was involved. A special written notice can be due within months.
- The proof you need to win your case is held by someone else. While it won’t change any statutory deadlines, expiring evidence like surveillance footage or dash cam video that can make or break your case could be written over within days.
This is a general estimate for most Georgia personal injury claims involving bodily injuries, not your deadline, and is provided here for general informational purposes. It should not be relied upon as legal advice concerning your claim. Consult with a licensed attorney to determine any and all deadlines that may apply to your case.5

Jeremy FreimanFounding Attorney
Jeremy started out defending these cases instead of bringing them. Insurance companies hired him as outside counsel to defend the claims people filed against them and their policyholders. He has seen these cases from both sides, so his clients always get an objective read on where their case is strong, where it is weak, and the path he recommends from there.
