Frequently Asked Questions

Get the answers you need. Still have questions? Call us — we're happy to help.

How much does it cost to hire an injury lawyer in Macon?

We work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay absolutely nothing upfront — no hourly rates, no retainer fees. We only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we secure for you. If we don't recover compensation, you owe us nothing.

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

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, some exceptions apply depending on the type of case. It's critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Macon?

First, seek medical attention — even if you feel fine, some injuries don't show symptoms immediately. Call the police and file a report. Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Get contact information from witnesses. Do NOT speak to the other driver's insurance company without consulting an attorney first. Call us for a free consultation.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

Every case is unique. Compensation depends on factors like medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and the severity of your injuries. During your free consultation, we'll evaluate your case and give you an honest assessment of what it may be worth. We fight for maximum compensation — not quick lowball settlements.

Will my case go to trial?

Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations without going to trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This gives us maximum leverage in negotiations and ensures we're ready if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement. If a trial is in your best interest, we have the courtroom experience to win.

Do you handle cases outside of Macon?

Yes. While our office is based in Macon, we represent injury victims throughout Middle Georgia, including Warner Robins, Forsyth, Milledgeville, Perry, and the surrounding areas. If you've been injured anywhere in Georgia, give us a call — we can help.

You Don't Pay Unless
We Win Your Case

Time is critical after an injury. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and deadlines pass. The sooner you call, the stronger your case will be. Let us fight the insurance companies while you focus on healing.

Denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are beguiled and demoralized by the charms pleasure moment so blinded desire that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble.
