DeKalb County Personal Injury Lawyer
Personal injury lawyers serving Decatur, Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Tucker, and all of DeKalb County.
DeKalb County is one of metro Atlanta's core counties, and its roads carry a punishing volume of traffic every day. I-285 sweeps across the county, I-20 runs east and west through Decatur and Stone Mountain, and I-85 cuts through the northern end near Chamblee and Brookhaven. That much traffic on interstates and crowded surface streets means serious collisions are a constant. Parisi Law Firm is based in Jackson County, but we also serve clients throughout metro Atlanta, including DeKalb County.
We represent people injured in car and tractor-trailer crashes, motorcycle wrecks, pedestrian accidents, slip-and-fall injuries, and wrongful death cases across DeKalb — from Dunwoody and Brookhaven to Decatur, Tucker, Chamblee, and Stone Mountain. You work directly with attorney Jerry Parisi, and you owe no fee unless we win.
The insurers that handle claims in a market this busy are experienced at paying accident victims as little as possible. We know their tactics and build every case to be trial-ready so they have a real reason to pay fairly.

Where DeKalb County Cases Are Handled
Personal injury lawsuits arising in DeKalb County are generally filed in the State Court or Superior Court of DeKalb County at the courthouse in Decatur, the county seat. Most injury claims settle with the insurance company before a lawsuit is needed, but when an insurer refuses to pay what a case is worth, we're prepared to file suit and take it to a DeKalb County jury.
DeKalb's courts handle a heavy metro-Atlanta caseload, and knowing how cases move through a busy system is part of representing clients here effectively. We prepare every claim for the possibility of litigation so the insurer never assumes we won't follow through.
DeKalb County Injury FAQs

Where would my DeKalb County injury lawsuit be filed?
Injury cases arising in DeKalb County are typically filed in the State or Superior Court of DeKalb County at the courthouse in Decatur. That said, the large majority of cases settle with the insurance company before any lawsuit is filed.
What's the deadline to file an injury claim in DeKalb County?
Georgia's statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, no matter which county you're in. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim, so it's smart to talk to a lawyer early.
