Becoming injured in an accident as the result of someone else’s negligence can derail your life. At Hilley & Frieder, P.C., our full-service personal injury attorneys have been serving the Atlanta area for more than 35 years.

Serious Attorneys For Serious Accidents In Atlanta And Throughout Georgia

No matter where you were injured or what type of injury you suffered, if someone else’s negligence caused your accident, we will work tirelessly to hold them accountable. We represent clients across Atlanta and throughout Georgia in serious and catastrophic injury cases, including:

• Motor vehicle accidents: Severe crashes can cause brain injuries, spinal cord damage and wrongful death. We pursue full compensation when careless drivers cause life-changing harm.
• Slip-and-fall accidents: Wet floors, uneven surfaces and poor maintenance often lead to serious falls. These injuries commonly result in fractures, head trauma and long recovery periods.
• Nursing home incidents and neglect: Elderly residents deserve safe care. When facilities allow falls, bedsores, dehydration or abuse, we act to protect families and demand accountability.
• Railroad and railway collisions: Train accidents often cause catastrophic injuries or fatalities. These cases require detailed investigation and aggressive representation.
• Broken bones and orthopedic injuries: Fractures may require surgery, hardware placement and months of therapy. Some injuries permanently limit movement.
• Severe burn injuries: Burns can require skin grafts and extensive treatment. Many victims face permanent scarring and emotional trauma.
• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries: Brain injuries can affect memory, speech, balance and personality. Some victims need lifelong care.
• Child injuries caused by negligence: Children may suffer harm at schools, day cares or unsafe properties. We work to protect their future and financial stability.
• Negligent security cases: Property owners must take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable crime. When they fail to provide lighting, security or safety measures, serious injuries can occur.
• Defective pathways and unsafe parking lots: Cracked sidewalks, potholes and broken pavement create clear hazards. Property owners must repair these dangers before someone gets hurt.
• Railroad worker injuries: Railroad employees face unique workplace risks. We handle serious injury claims involving unsafe working conditions.

Unsafe property conditions cause many of these injuries. Broken stairs, damaged walkways and poor lighting put visitors at risk. Georgia law requires property owners to inspect their premises and fix known hazards. When they ignore those duties, we step in.

Our litigators have handled hundreds of cases. If you were injured at work, we have a strong record in workers’ compensation claims. If a medical professional made a serious mistake, we are prepared to pursue a medical malpractice case. If you lost a loved one, we help families seek justice through wrongful death claims.

We focus on serious cases. Our attorneys prepare every claim thoroughly, and they do not back down from complex litigation.

Atlanta Premises Liability Lawyers Holding Property Owners Accountable

If someone’s unsafe property caused your injury, we can review the facts and determine whether Georgia premises liability law allows you to hold the owner responsible. Property owners and occupiers must keep their property reasonably safe for lawful visitors. For example, they must repair dangerous conditions or clearly warn people about known hazards. When they ignore these duties, they put others at risk.

Premises liability cases often involve:

• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Trips over uneven flooring or defective pathways
• Poorly maintained parking lots
• Broken staircases or missing handrails
• Inadequate lighting
• Negligent security that leads to assault
• Unsafe apartment complexes
• Hazards in stores, restaurants or office buildings

To prove liability, we show that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it in a reasonable time.

For example, if a grocery store ignores a spill or an apartment complex fails to repair broken lighting after complaints, the owner may be responsible. In negligent security cases, property owners may face liability if they fail to provide reasonable protection in areas where crime is foreseeable.

We move quickly in these cases. Conditions change. Businesses repair hazards. Video footage disappears. We act fast to preserve evidence and build your case.

Personal Injury Compensation For Atlanta Injury Victims

A serious injury affects every part of your life. Medical bills grow quickly, you may miss work and you may face long-term treatment or permanent disability. Georgia law allows injured victims to seek compensation for these losses.

You may recover damages for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Ongoing treatment and rehabilitation
• Lost income
• Reduced earning capacity
• Physical pain
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Funeral and burial expenses in wrongful death cases

In catastrophic injury cases, we calculate the full cost of future care and lost income. We work with medical experts and financial professionals to project long-term needs. Furthermore, we present clear evidence that shows the true impact of your injury.

Insurance companies often try to reduce payouts. They may argue that your injuries are minor or that you share fault, but we challenge those tactics. We prepare strong cases supported by expert testimony and detailed documentation. Our goal is simple. We pursue full and fair compensation that reflects what you have truly lost.
