Injuries can linger even after an accident and can drain those affected emotionally, physically and financially. Medical bills can begin to pile up, lost wages can create additional pressure, and the weight of pain and suffering can leave patients as well as their families in a very difficult position.
Our attorneys completely understand your situation and how important it is for you to file a personal injury claim in Marietta. In Georgia, personal injury victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a claim under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Under O.C.G.A. § 51-1-6, you have the right to pursue compensation when someone else’s negligence caused your injury — but that window doesn’t stay open forever, so acting quickly matters.
We treat each and every case with the utmost attention to detail – no matter the size. We are different from others as we always keep the client first. We use the latest technology in pre-litigation to gain an advantage, including accident reconstruction analysis and thorough evidence collection. This helps greatly by minimizing expenses and maximizing results.
Never think you are alone because you can trust us with your personal injury claims in Marietta — collecting evidence, requesting Cobb County accident reports from the Marietta Police Department or the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), and creating a compelling case on your behalf.
At The Wilson PC Personal Injury Law Firm, we review every category of damages you have suffered — from medical bills and lost wages to pain and suffering and long-term rehabilitation costs — and work on making an accurate estimation of your case’s full value. We also keep the liable parties and their insurers on notice throughout the process so you always have a clear understanding of where your case stands.
Our team is always ready to work hard to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.
Proper documentation is critical in personal injury cases. Ensuring that you have thorough records of your injuries and the accident scene can significantly strengthen your claim. This includes requesting the official police report from the Marietta Police Department or Cobb County — located at the Cobb County Courthouse, 70 Haynes Street, Marietta — which serves as foundational evidence in any liability claim. In complex cases, our team can also engage accident reconstruction specialists to establish exactly how the incident occurred and who was at fault.
Seeking immediate medical care is not only vital for your health but also essential for substantiating your injury claims. Even if you feel fine at first, conditions like whiplash, soft tissue injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), neck and back injuries, and spinal cord damage can take days to fully present.
According to the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS), Cobb County consistently ranks among Georgia’s highest-volume counties for traffic injuries — meaning local emergency rooms and trauma centers like WellStar Kennestone Hospital treat accident victims from Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Mableton, Vinings, Powder Springs, Austell, and Fair Oaks every single day. Many of our clients also pursue follow-up care through physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and pain management — all of which support a stronger personal injury claim and a more accurate picture of your total damages.
| Type of Evidence | Examples |
|---|---|
| Medical Records | Doctor’s notes, hospital bills, physical therapy and chiropractic records |
| Accident Scene Documentation | Photos, videos, Cobb County police reports, GDOT crash data, accident reconstruction |
| Witness Statements | Contact details, testimonies |

We serve accident victims throughout Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth, Mableton, Vinings, Powder Springs, Austell, and Fair Oaks.
It doesn’t matter if the other driver was speeding, drunk, uninsured, or simply reckless — you are entitled to be made whole through financial means. That means compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and every other measurable impact the accident has had on your life.
We've Won Millions For People Just Like You!
Understanding a few important legal concepts is the key to receiving the compensation you deserve. We follow four legal steps to show that you were treated unfairly:
When someone drives a vehicle, they must obey traffic laws and drive safely. This is called their 'legal duty to be careful.'
Sometimes, people act recklessly and forget how dangerous cars can be. For instance, looking away from the road to send a text is reckless driving, a failure to meet their duty.
Under Georgia law, a person is responsible for your injury only if their careless actions directly led to it. This is the legal concept of proximate cause.
Finally, you must have experienced measurable harm that can be documented: medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, or long-term diminished quality of life.
Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule is also important to understand. Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault — as long as you were less than 50% responsible. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies exploit this rule against unrepresented claimants. We make sure they cannot use it against you.
Georgia’s SB 68 tort reform legislation has also introduced changes that affect how personal injury cases are evaluated — particularly around admissible medical damages and litigation funding disclosures. Our attorneys stay current on every development so your case strategy reflects the law exactly as it stands today.
The first step in pursuing compensation is filing a personal injury claim in Marietta. The difference between a personal injury claim and a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia is important: a claim is filed directly with the at-fault party’s insurance company, while a lawsuit is filed in Cobb County Superior Court or Cobb County State Court when a fair settlement cannot be reached. Having a Marietta personal injury lawyer early on — ideally before you speak with any insurance adjuster — can greatly influence the direction and success of your case.
One of the most critical stages of a personal injury case involves negotiating your injury settlement. Skilled Cobb County personal injury attorneys at The Wilson PC account for all categories of damages: current and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs including physical therapy and chiropractic care, and long-term impact on your quality of life.
Insurance companies often use various tactics to minimize the amount they pay out on personal injury claims in Marietta and across Cobb County. Our attorneys have seen every delay strategy, lowball offer, and recorded statement trap that insurers deploy — and we know exactly how to counter them.
Having a dedicated personal injury lawyer in Marietta is crucial for several reasons. They provide legal expertise under Georgia law, handle all communications with insurance companies, coordinate evidence collection and accident reconstruction when needed, and can navigate Cobb County Superior Court and Cobb County State Court procedures effectively.
At The Wilson PC, we also assist clients who may be treating through a letter of protection or attorney lien arrangement. A letter of protection is a legal agreement that allows accident victims in Georgia to receive medical treatment now and pay from their settlement later — with no upfront out-of-pocket costs. This means your care at WellStar Kennestone, with your chiropractor, your physical therapist, or your pain management provider continues uninterrupted while your case is pending.
A free case evaluation is an excellent opportunity to discuss the specifics of your situation and understand what your personal injury case may be worth. There is no obligation and no upfront cost — we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we win.

You don’t want a lawyer who lacks experience, doesn’t pay attention to your case, or doesn’t act professionally.

We’ll explain everything you need to know about your personal injury case in Marietta and keep you updated at every stage.
After a car accident in Marietta, your first priority is to seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel fine. Conditions like whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and traumatic brain injuries often present symptoms days after the incident. Next, document everything: photograph the scene, your injuries, and any road hazards. Request the official accident report from the Marietta Police Department or Cobb County. Avoid discussing fault with any insurance adjuster before speaking with a Marietta personal injury lawyer. Contact The Wilson PC as soon as possible so we can begin preserving evidence and protecting your right to maximum compensation.
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Missing this deadline means losing your right to recover compensation entirely. There are limited exceptions — for example, cases involving minors or claims against government entities — but in most situations two years is the hard deadline. Contact a Marietta personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident to make sure your claim is protected.
Yes. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your total recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were found 20% at fault and your damages totaled $100,000, you would recover $80,000. Insurance companies frequently try to inflate your share of fault to reduce or eliminate your payout — which is exactly why having an experienced Cobb County personal injury lawyer on your side matters.
The value of a personal injury case in Marietta depends on several factors: the severity of your injuries, the total cost of your medical treatment, how much income you lost due to the accident, the degree of pain and suffering you experienced, and any long-term rehabilitation needs including physical therapy, chiropractic care, or pain management. Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule can also affect your final recovery. We offer a completely free case evaluation to walk through every factor specific to your situation.
Yes, and here is why. Even when the fault is clear, insurance companies will still work to minimize your payout. They may argue your injuries were pre-existing, that your medical treatment was excessive, or that you contributed to the accident in some way. A Marietta personal injury attorney knows how to counter every one of these tactics, build a complete damages picture including lost wages and pain and suffering, and negotiate a settlement that actually reflects what you have been through.
If the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured, you may still have a path to compensation through your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage under Georgia law. O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11 requires Georgia insurers to offer uninsured motorist coverage, and many drivers carry it without fully understanding how to use it. Our Marietta personal injury attorneys are experienced in handling uninsured motorist claims and will review every available coverage source to make sure you are not left without recourse.
A letter of protection is a legal agreement between your personal injury attorney and your medical provider that allows you to receive treatment now and pay your medical bills from your settlement later. In Georgia, this arrangement is commonly used by accident victims who do not have health insurance or whose health insurance does not cover accident-related treatment. It means you can see doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and pain management specialists — including providers near Marietta and Cobb County — without any money out of pocket while your case is pending. At The Wilson PC, we coordinate letter of protection arrangements as part of our full-service representation.
SB 68 is Georgia’s recent tort reform legislation that made several significant changes to how personal injury cases are handled in the state. Key changes include new rules around the admissibility of medical damages — specifically limiting recovery to amounts actually paid or accepted by medical providers rather than billed amounts — as well as new disclosure requirements around third-party litigation funding. Our attorneys stay current on every SB 68 development and will make sure your case strategy fully accounts for the current legal landscape.
A personal injury claim is a demand made directly to the at-fault party’s insurance company seeking compensation for your damages — most cases are resolved at this stage through a negotiated settlement. A personal injury lawsuit is a formal legal action filed in Cobb County Superior Court or Cobb County State Court when a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation. Filing a lawsuit does not necessarily mean your case will go to trial — the majority still settle before reaching a courtroom — but it does significantly strengthen your negotiating position.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the insurance company cooperates with a fair settlement. Straightforward cases with clear liability and moderate injuries can sometimes resolve in three to six months. Cases involving severe injuries, disputed liability, or uncooperative insurers — particularly those that proceed to litigation in Cobb County Superior Court — can take one to two years or longer. We will give you an honest timeline estimate during your free case evaluation.
Yes, but acting quickly is important. Gaps in medical treatment can be used by insurance companies to argue that your injuries were not serious or were caused by something other than the accident. If you delay treatment, the best thing you can do is seek care immediately and let your doctor document the full history and progression of your symptoms. Our Marietta personal injury lawyers are experienced in handling cases with treatment gaps and know how to counter insurance company arguments that attempt to use that delay against your claim.
Georgia does not cap compensatory damages — meaning medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering — in most personal injury cases. Georgia previously had a cap on punitive damages of $250,000 in some cases, though certain exceptions apply. SB 68 has introduced new considerations around how medical damages are calculated and presented, which can effectively influence the total recovery amount even without a formal damages cap. Our attorneys will walk you through exactly how these rules apply to your specific case during your free consultation.
After suffering an injury in Marietta, navigating the legal system alone can be overwhelming. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters working to minimize your claim, while you’re left dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and recovery. Our Marietta personal injury attorneys handle every aspect of your case — from evidence collection and accident reconstruction to settlement negotiations and Cobb County court filings. We’re deeply familiar with local accident hotspots like the I-75 and I-575 interchange, Barrett Parkway, Cobb Parkway, Windy Hill Road, South Marietta Parkway, and the Truist Park and Cumberland corridor. With our representation, you’ll have peace of mind knowing an experienced legal team is fighting for the maximum compensation you deserve.
