We handle these types of cases in Lawrenceville:

Car Accidents:

Car accidents are the most common cause of a personal injury. Drivers in Lawrenceville are required to follow the law and the rules of the road. When the drivers fail to obey those rules, people can get hurt.  If you were injured after an accident, you should speak to a personal injury lawyer to make sure that your rights are protected.

Truck accidents are not like other accident cases and require specialized knowledge of truck regulations and laws. Our Lawrenceville truck accident lawyers understand these laws and our 24 hour response team is ready to respond to your truck accident to protect your case.

Motorcycle Accidents:

Motorcycle accidents cause some of the worst injuries and can require surgeries to correct broken bones, torn ligaments, and damaged scar tissue. We handle motorcycle cases from our Lawrenceville office to make sure that our clients have strong legal representation after a serious collision.

Dog Bites:

Our Lawrenceville team handles dog bite cases. Dog bites can cause permanent scarring on children and adults, and owners are required to keep their dogs on a leash in Lawrenceville and the surrounding cities when not on their property. A loose running dog or a dangerous dog means you have a dog bite case.

Our Lawrenceville personal injury lawyers will do what is necessary to protect your rights as a cyclist by collecting the evidence needed to win your case.

What to do after a Lawrenceville accident:

1. Call the Police.

Call 9-1-1 to report the accident to the City of Lawrenceville Police Department or the Gwinnett County Police Department.  The 9-1-1 dispatcher will direct you to the correct police agency once you explain exactly where the incident occurred.

2. Seek Medical Treatment.

If something does not feel right, get checked out at the emergency room.  Northside Hospital Gwinnett is the closest, but do not be afraid to request an ambulance if you feel like it is an emergency.  The ambulance staff will assess you and determine the best place to take your for your injuries.

3. Call an Attorney.

Call a Lawrenceville personal injury lawyer that understands these cases.  Your case is too important to trust with someone who does not specialize in personal injury law and who knows Lawrenceville.  Hiring an attorney outside of Lawrenceville who is unfamiliar with the area is not recommended.

4. Meet with Your Attorney.

Schedule a meeting or phone call with your attorney - not a paralegal or secretary.  Sadly, some of the attorneys who "practice" in Lawrenceville don't live in Gwinnett County or even in the State of Georgia. Michael Coker and Samantha Ball are attorneys who live in Gwinnett and meet every client of the firm.

5. Get Well.

Trust your attorney to help with medical treatment, unpaid bills, and missed work.  A strong Lawrenceville personal injury lawyer will fight to get you the best possible settlement to help compensate your for your experience and losses in this difficult time.  You can focus on feeling better soon.
