Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Car Accidents
Car accidents are, unfortunately, one of the most common causes of serious injury in Roswell, often resulting from distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence (DUI). If you’ve been injured in a car accident, we will investigate the scene and collect evidence to establish liability and build a compelling case.
Truck Accidents
Collisions involving commercial trucks are often catastrophic, which is why trucking companies are governed by special regulations. When truck accident victims call us, we immediately dispatch investigators to secure critical evidence — things like electronic logging devices, driver qualification files, and maintenance records — before they can be altered or destroyed. Our attorneys understand that liability often extends beyond the truck driver to include their employer, maintenance contractors, and cargo loaders. We make sure all responsible parties are held accountable for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are exposed and face disproportionate risks on the road. Despite Georgia’s helmet laws and safety measures, motorcycle riders frequently encounter bias from insurance adjusters attempting to shift blame from the negligent driver. Weatherby Law Firm combats these prejudices and secures fair compensation with compelling accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and medical evidence to demonstrate the full extent of our client’s injuries.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
Roswell’s growing network of trails and sidewalks has led to more foot and bike traffic in the region. Unfortunately, driver inattention puts the influx of pedestrians and cyclists at serious risk. Georgia law provides strong protections for pedestrians and cyclists which we leverage to hold negligent drivers fully accountable for injuries caused by carelessness. We recognize the catastrophic nature of these accidents and calculate damages that account for long-term medical needs, lost earning capacity, and the profound impact on quality of life that often accompanies pedestrian injuries.
Wrongful Death Cases
When negligence claims the life of a loved one, families face devastating emotional loss and significant financial burdens related to medical expenses, funeral costs, and lost income. Georgia’s wrongful death laws allow specific family members — typically spouses, children, or parents — to pursue compensation for the full value of the deceased’s life and the financial losses stemming from their death. We approach these sensitive cases with compassion and determination, providing grieving families with the guidance they need and holding guilty parties accountable for the irreplaceable damage caused.
The Personal Injury Claim Process
1. Free Consultation & Case Evaluation
Your path to justice begins with a free consultation during which we listen to your story, review the evidence you’ve gathered, and provide you with an honest assessment of your legal options. During our meeting, we’ll explain our contingency fee structure — which means you pay nothing unless we win — and outline our strategy for handling your case. We believe that if we establish clear communication and transparency from the start, you’ll feel comfortable and confident until victory.
2. Investigation & Evidence Collection
Once you choose Weatherby Law Firm to represent you, an investigation is launched during which we collect police reports, surveillance footage, medical records, and witness statements before they become difficult to obtain. Our network of expert consultants includes medical professionals and accident reconstruction specialists. Working together, we build a compelling case that establishes liability, captures the full extent of your injuries, and overcomes resourceful insurance companies.
3. Negotiating with Insurance Companies
4. Filing a Lawsuit & Litigation Process
Armed with evidence substantiating your claim’s value and experience as former insurance defense attorneys, we negotiate fair settlements with insurance companies. We protect your interests against profit-driven insurance adjusters, countering their lowball offers, requests for recorded statements, and blame-shifting tactics. We always present settlement options with an explanation of their implications, allowing you to accept or reject offers with the most information possible.
When insurance companies refuse to offer fair settlements, we won’t hesitate to file a lawsuit and progress your case through Roswell’s court system. The litigation process involves a discovery phase where both sides exchange information through document requests and depositions. If a resolution can’t be reached and we go to trial, we’ll prepare you for every courtroom appearance, keeping your best interests as our primary focus.
Compensation for Personal Injury Victims
Depending on the circumstances, personal injury victims in Roswell may be entitled to compensation that extends beyond medical bills. Understanding the full scope of available damages will position you to receive fair compensation that accounts for every aspect of your injury.
Economic Damages
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
Punitive Damages
Georgia law also allows for punitive damages in cases involving willful misconduct, malice, fraud, or extreme negligence. These additional damages serve to punish particularly egregious behavior and deter similar actions in the future.
At Weatherby Law Firm, we conduct thorough investigations and work with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to accurately value your claim. Our goal is to secure compensation that truly reflects the full impact of your injuries on your life and future.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Time is critical after a personal injury accident. Georgia law establishes specific deadlines — known as statutes of limitations — for filing various types of claims. For personal injury claims, you have two years from the date your injuries are discovered to file a lawsuit.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Georgia follows what’s called a “modified comparative fault” rule. In plain English, that means you can still recover damages if you’re less than 50% responsible for the accident that caused your injuries. However, your compensation will be reduced proportionally based on your share of the fault.
How much is my case worth?
The value of your personal injury case depends on a variety of factors, including the extent of your injuries and your percentage of fault. A resourceful Roswell personal injury lawyer will maximize your case’s value by conducting thorough assessments of current and projected damages to ensure every aspect of your suffering is accounted for in your claim. This comprehensive approach overcomes the common mistake of accepting settlements that fail to address the long-term consequences of serious injuries.
Will my case go to trial?
If a fair settlement can’t be reached out of court, we’re fully prepared to represent you in court and defend your case in front of a judge and jury. However, most claims are settled before trial because insurance companies don’t want to deal with the expenses and unpredictability of courtroom proceedings. The litigation process can be lengthy and weigh down the resources that are needed elsewhere.
