You didn’t ask for this. One moment, everything felt normal. The next, you’re dealing with pain, missed time at work, and medical bills you never expected.
If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you shouldn’t have to handle the consequences alone.
At TED Law, we represent injury victims across Atlanta and throughout Fulton County. Our attorneys work to hold the at-fault party accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve. And you won’t pay us anything unless we win your case.
Personal injury law is built on a simple idea: when someone else’s careless actions cause harm, they can be held responsible for the damage they caused.
In Georgia, most personal injury claims are based on negligence. Negligence happens when a person or business fails to act with reasonable care, and that failure leads to someone getting hurt.
To bring a successful personal injury claim, three things generally need to be true:
Three things must be true to have a claim:
Atlanta is one of the most traffic-congested cities in the United States. The I-285 perimeter, the Downtown Connector (I-75/85), and Georgia 400 see millions of trips every day. Accidents happen constantly. Slip and falls occur in stores, parking lots, and apartment complexes across Fulton County. When they do, Georgia law gives injured victims the right to pursue compensation.
Insurance adjusters often move quickly after an accident. In many cases, that’s because resolving claims sooner can cost the insurance company less.
It’s important to remember that insurance companies are businesses. While they handle claims every day, their goal is still to limit how much they pay whenever possible.
To do that, they often rely on familiar strategies when evaluating injury claims, including:
The question is: are you getting what you’re actually owed?

Georgia personal injury law recognizes two main categories of compensation, called damages. Understanding both matters when evaluating what your case is worth.
The costs you can document
The harm that's harder to measure
In rare cases, Georgia courts award punitive damages as punishment for egregious or intentional conduct. A drunk driver who causes serious injury, for example, may face punitive damages on top of compensatory damages.
Georgia law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is set by O.C.G.A. §9-3-33.
Miss that deadline, and Georgia courts will dismiss your case, regardless of how strong it is.
There are limited exceptions:
Don’t wait. Evidence disappears. Witnesses move. Insurance companies use delays against you.
Georgia follows a modified comparative fault system under O.C.G.A. §51-12-33. Here’s what that means for you:
Example: You are found 20% at fault for an accident. Your total damages are $100,000. Under Georgia’s comparative fault rule, you recover $80,000.
Insurance adjusters use this rule aggressively to reduce payouts. Having a lawyer protects you from having fault unfairly assigned to you.
Georgia requires all drivers to carry at least:
These minimums are often not enough to cover serious injuries. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can make up the difference, and pursuing it is something TED Law handles for Atlanta clients regularly.
Most attorneys talk about fighting for you. Here’s exactly what that looks like in practice.
You tell us what happened. We listen without pressure, without judgment, and without charge. We'll give you an honest assessment of your case and explain your options.
We move fast to preserve evidence. That means gathering police reports, medical records, surveillance footage, photos, and witness statements before they disappear. In truck accident cases, we may also seek black box data and driver logs.
Your health comes first. If needed, we can help connect you with medical providers. We do not rush to put a dollar value on your case until you have reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), the point at which your doctors have determined your condition has stabilized. Settling before MMI means you may miss future medical costs.
Once we understand the full scope of your damages, we send a demand letter to the at-fault party's insurance company. We negotiate aggressively. Insurance companies know which attorneys will go to trial and which ones won't. We will.
If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we file suit in Fulton County Superior Court or State Court and take your case to trial. We build every case from day one as if it's going to a jury.
Whether your case resolves through settlement or a court verdict, you receive your compensation. Our fee is deducted from that recovery. You pay nothing out of pocket.
TED Law is a boutique personal injury firm, which means something important to you as a client. Your case is not handed to a paralegal. You have direct access to your attorney.
We practice personal injury law exclusively. We do not dabble in divorces, contracts, or criminal defense. This focus means our attorneys understand personal injury claims at a depth that generalist firms simply cannot match.
We serve clients across Georgia and South Carolina including Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbia, and Charleston.

Where your accident happened affects how your case is handled. Atlanta personal injury claims are typically filed in Fulton County State Court or Fulton County Superior Court, located at 136 Pryor Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30303.
Atlanta’s accident landscape includes:
These local facts matter in building your case. We know the courts, the roads, and the patterns that lead to serious injuries here.
I-75/85
One of the most congested highway segments in the Southeast
I-285
Heavy commercial truck traffic encircling Atlanta
GA 400
High-speed route with frequent rear-end and multi-vehicle crashes
Atlanta's Level I Trauma Center for serious injury victims
Hiring TED Law costs you nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis.
No retainer, no hourly rate, no upfront costs to get started.
Our fee is a percentage of your recovery; deducted only if and when you win.
If we don't win, you owe us nothing. No hidden charges, no billing for our time.
Your free consultation is exactly that: free. No obligation. No pressure. Just honest advice about your options.
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury under O.C.G.A. §9-3-33. However, claims against government entities like the City of Atlanta require an ante litem notice within 6 to 12 months. If you were injured as a minor, the two-year clock typically begins when you turn 18. Missing the deadline means losing your right to compensation entirely so contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Every case is different. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your total medical expenses, lost wages, and the degree of pain and suffering you experienced. Cases involving permanent injury, disability, or disfigurement typically result in higher compensation. The best way to understand your case’s value is to speak with an attorney — TED Law offers free consultations with no obligation.
First, seek medical care — even if you feel okay. Some injuries are not immediately apparent. Call the police and get a report. Document the scene with photos. Get the other party’s information. Do not admit fault and do not give a recorded statement to an insurance company before speaking with a lawyer. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Most personal injury cases in Georgia settle before trial — often during pre-suit negotiations or after a demand letter is sent. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount, going to court may be the only way to get what you deserve. TED Law prepares every case as if it will go to trial, which tends to produce better settlement offers.
A straightforward case with clear liability may resolve in three to six months after treatment is complete. Cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or uncooperative insurance companies can take one to two years or longer. The timeline depends heavily on reaching Maximum Medical Improvement before settlement — rushing that process can cost you money.
You can still recover compensation. Under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule (O.C.G.A. §51-12-33), you can pursue a claim as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. Your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 30% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $70,000.
TED Law works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. There are no hourly charges. Our fee is a percentage of your settlement or verdict — collected only if we win your case. If we don’t recover for you, you owe nothing.
A personal injury claim is filed with an insurance company and handled through negotiation outside of court. A personal injury lawsuit is filed in court when a fair settlement cannot be reached. Most cases resolve at the claim stage. If the insurance company won’t pay fairly, filing a lawsuit is the next step — and TED Law handles both.
You’ve been through enough. You shouldn’t have to fight an insurance company alone while you’re still trying to heal.
TED Law represents Atlanta personal injury victims on a contingency basis; you pay nothing unless we win.
