Augusta,GA Personal Injury Lawyer

Award Winning

An accident can happen in an instant, but the impact can last a lifetime. Medical bills, lost wages, and emotional pain can turn your life upside down. When someone’s negligence causes your injuries, you deserve justice, not excuses.

At Ted Law Firm, our Augusta personal injury lawyers fight for victims across Richmond County, Columbia County, and the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Whether you were hurt in a car crash, workplace accident, or slip-and-fall, we’ll fight to recover the compensation you deserve,  and hold negligent parties accountable.

Local Roads, Local Representation

Augusta’s growing traffic and mix of local commuters, out-of-town drivers, and commercial trucks create real dangers on the road. According to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), Richmond County reports over 8,000 traffic crashes each year, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities.

We’ve represented victims injured on:

• I-20 and I-520 (Bobby Jones Expressway) — major corridors with high-speed crashes.
  
• Washington Road, Peach Orchard Road, and Wrightsboro Road — busy intersections and retail zones.
  
• Downtown Augusta near Broad Street — frequent pedestrian and bike accidents.
  
• Riverwatch Parkway and Mike Padgett Highway — known for commercial truck traffic.
  

From Evans to Hephzibah, our attorneys know the roads, the courts, and the insurance adjusters who handle Augusta claims, and we know how to win against them.

Don’t Just Be a Statistic

Augusta / Richmond County Accident Data (GDOT 2022)

Behind every number is a person  a mother, father, or child whose life was changed forever. At Ted Law Firm, we make sure victims aren’t just statistics — they’re survivors with a voice and a path to justice.

Understanding Georgia Personal Injury Law

Georgia law gives injury victims powerful rights to recover damages after an accident. Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Georgia also follows the modified comparative negligence rule (the “50% rule”):

• You can recover compensation if you were less than 50% at fault for your accident.
  
• Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault.
  

Our attorneys ensure insurers don’t twist this rule or shift blame unfairly to minimize your claim.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Augusta

Our firm handles a wide range of injury claims throughout the CSRA, including:

• Car accidents (rear-end, head-on, and intersection crashes).
