Personal Injury Lawyer in Statham, GA

Statham is a growing town in Barrow County, tucked between Winder and Bogart along the US-29 and GA-316 corridor southeast of Winder. As the area between Atlanta and Athens has filled in, Statham has grown with it, and the roads around town now carry a lot more traffic than they used to. GA-316's highway speeds sit close by, and US-29 keeps a steady flow moving through the area. More cars, more trucks, and more new drivers on familiar roads add up to more collisions. If you've been hurt in Statham, Parisi Law Firm is nearby in Jefferson, and you'll work directly with Jerry Parisi on your case.

Georgia law and what it means for you

A few Georgia rules will shape whatever claim comes out of a Statham accident. Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, and once that period runs out, the chance to sue is usually gone. Georgia applies a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover if you were partly at fault, so long as your share stays below 50%, with your recovery reduced accordingly. The damages you can pursue include medical bills, lost wages, future treatment, and pain and suffering. Insurance companies tend to open low, so knowing the true value of a claim is where a lawyer helps most.
