Norcross Personal Injury Lawyers

Our Norcross personal injury lawyers represent people hurt by someone else’s carelessness, from car crashes to slip and falls. In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, so acting early protects your case. We handle these claims on a contingency basis, which means no fee unless we recover for you.

Insurance companies move fast to limit what they pay, often before you know the full extent of an injury. Having a lawyer early keeps that pressure off you and protects the value of your claim.

We handle Norcross personal injury cases including:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Slip, trip, and fall injuries
  • Dog bites and premises injuries
  • Serious and catastrophic injuries
  • Wrongful death claims

If you were hurt in a crash, our dedicated Norcross car accident lawyer page goes deeper. You can also learn more on our personal injury page.

Norcross Workers’ Comp Lawyers

If you were hurt on the job in or around Norcross, our workers’ comp lawyers help you pursue medical care and wage benefits. Georgia gives you 30 days to report a work injury and, under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-82, one year to file a claim with the State Board, so deadlines matter. Like our injury cases, workers’ comp is handled with no fee unless we recover benefits for you.

Many work injuries in the Norcross area happen in warehouses, on construction sites, and in the logistics operations along I-85. Whatever the setting, the same deadlines and benefits apply, and we handle the claim from filing to hearing.

Common Norcross workers’ compensation matters include:

  • Warehouse, construction, and forklift injuries
  • Back, neck, and repetitive stress injuries
  • Denied or delayed claims and appeals
  • Occupational illness and toxic exposure claims
  • Serious and catastrophic work injuries

Learn more about your rights on our workers’ compensation page.

Norcross Criminal Defense Lawyers

Facing criminal charges in Gwinnett County is frightening, and the right defense starts early. Our Norcross criminal defense lawyers represent people charged with misdemeanors and felonies, with cases heard at the Gwinnett County courts in Lawrenceville. Criminal cases are handled on a defense-fee basis, and your first consultation is free.

An arrest is not a conviction, and what happens in the first days often shapes the whole case. We look at how the stop or arrest was handled, what the state can actually prove, and the options that fit your situation.

We defend Norcross clients against charges including:

  • DUI and traffic offenses
  • Drug possession and drug felony charges
  • Assault, battery, and family violence charges
  • Sex crime charges
  • Probation and bond matters

For more on how we defend these cases, see our Norcross criminal defense page and our criminal defense page.

Norcross Legal Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

01

Does your Norcross office handle cases in Spanish?

Yes. Our team works in English and Spanish, from the first call through the end of your case. Norcross has a large bilingual community, and we handle personal injury, workers’ comp, and criminal defense matters fully in both languages.

02

What types of cases does the Norcross office handle?

Our Norcross office handles personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense. That includes car accidents and other injury claims, on-the-job injuries, and misdemeanor and felony charges. We do not handle medical malpractice.

03

How much does it cost to talk to a Norcross lawyer?

Nothing. Consultations are free. Personal injury and workers’ compensation cases are handled on a contingency basis, so there is no fee unless we recover for you. Criminal defense is quoted separately after we understand your situation.

04

Where will my case be heard if I am in Norcross?

It depends on the type of case. Criminal charges from Norcross are generally handled in the Gwinnett County courts in Lawrenceville, while workers’ compensation claims go before the State Board of Workers’ Compensation. We handle the filings and appearances for you.

05

Should I talk to the insurance company before calling a lawyer?

It is usually best to talk to a lawyer first. Insurance adjusters often ask for recorded statements soon after an injury, and early words can be used to reduce or deny your claim. A free consultation lets you understand your rights before you say anything that could hurt your case.

06

Do I have to come to the Norcross office to get started?

No. You can start with a phone call or an online message, and we can often gather what we need remotely. If meeting in person helps, our Norcross office is convenient to the I-85 corridor. We work around your schedule and your recovery.
