Car Accident Attorneys in Norcross and Gwinnett County, Georgia

Free Consultation→(770) 609-9396

Car accidents are the leading cause of personal injury in Georgia. In Gwinnett County alone, thousands of accidents occur every year on I-85, I-285, and GA-316. If you were injured by a negligent, distracted, or impaired driver, you have the right to fair compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At J. Lee & Associates, we thoroughly investigate every accident and aggressively fight against insurance companies.

Georgia applies the modified comparative fault principle under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, meaning you can recover compensation as long as your percentage of fault is less than 50%. Your compensation is reduced proportionally to your degree of responsibility. Insurers like State Farm, GEICO, and Progressive frequently try to assign you more fault than you deserve in order to reduce their payout. Our attorneys protect your interests from day one.

Our bilingual team in Norcross has specific experience with the roads and courts of Gwinnett County and the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. We work on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing until we win your case. We also connect you with physicians who accept treatment under a medical lien so you can receive immediate care at no out of pocket cost.

Steps You Should Take

1

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Go to the emergency room or see a doctor within the first 72 hours. Early medical documentation is key evidence. We work with physicians who treat you under a medical lien at no out of pocket cost.

2

Do Not Speak with the Other Driver's Insurer

Any statement you make can be used to reduce your compensation. Simply say: 'I have an attorney who will be in contact with you.' Refer all calls to JLA.

3

Document Everything

Photograph the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries. Keep all medical receipts, proof of lost wages, and the police report number. This evidence significantly strengthens your case.

4

Call JLA Immediately

Evidence disappears over time: traffic camera footage gets erased, witnesses move away, skid marks fade. Our team begins the investigation right away. Free consultation at (770) 609-9396.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident in Georgia?
The statute of limitations for personal injury in Georgia is 2 years from the date of the accident under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. For property damage, you have 4 years under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-30. Acting quickly is critical to preserve evidence such as traffic camera footage and police reports.
What happens if the other driver has no insurance?
Georgia requires minimum insurance of $25,000 per person under O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11, but many drivers are uninsured. If you have UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist) coverage on your own policy, you can file a claim under that coverage. Our attorneys analyze all available sources of compensation.
How much is my car accident case worth?
The value depends on the severity of your injuries, current and future medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Every case is unique. We offer a free evaluation to estimate the value of your claim with no obligation.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
No. Insurance companies record calls and use your statements against you to reduce or deny your claim. Refer all communications to your attorney. We handle all negotiations with the insurers.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
1) Seek medical attention even if you do not feel pain right away. 2) Call 911 to obtain a police report. 3) Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries. 4) Exchange information with the other driver. 5) Do not admit fault. 6) Call JLA at (770) 609-9396 before speaking with any insurance company.
