Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Lilburn, GA

A car turns left across Lawrenceville Highway and never sees you. A driver speeds through the city center while you are in the crosswalk. In Lilburn, serious injuries tend to happen on streets you use every day.

Michael Gumprecht is a personal injury lawyer Lilburn, GA residents can call after a serious injury. The Gumprecht Law Firm handles serious injury claims across Gwinnett County from its Atlanta and Kennesaw offices. We deal with the insurance companies, the record requests, and the deadlines, so you can focus on getting better.

How We Handle Serious Injury Cases

Serious injury cases are won or lost on evidence. We start by securing it early, before video is erased and vehicles are repaired.

That includes digital evidence. Phone records, vehicle data, and time-stamped video often show what a driver was doing in the seconds before a crash. Michael’s engineering background helps us find and read that material.

We build each case as if it may go before a jury. Insurance companies pay attention to how a case is prepared, and that preparation shapes the offers they make.

What a Claim Can Cover After a Serious Injury

A brain injury, a spinal cord injury, a severe burn, or a badly broken leg can change how you work and live for years. A claim should account for all of it, not just the first hospital bill.

Depending on the facts, compensation may cover:

Medical care, now and in the future. Surgery, hospital stays, rehabilitation, therapy, and care you will need later.
Lost income and earning ability. Wages you missed while recovering, and future earnings you may lose if you cannot return to the same work.
Pain and suffering. The physical pain, the emotional strain, and the parts of daily life you can no longer enjoy.
Property damage. Repair or replacement of your vehicle and other damaged property.

A serious injury also affects the people you live with. In Georgia, a spouse may bring a separate loss of consortium claim for the loss of companionship, support, and help at home caused by the injury. When a crash takes a life, the family may have a wrongful death claim.

Where Crashes Happen in and Around Lilburn

US 29, also called SR 8 or Lawrenceville Highway, runs straight through the city center. The Lilburn Police Department sits on this road, and so do many of the shops, restaurants, and crossings people use every day. Mixed traffic from commuters, delivery vehicles, and pedestrians creates real risk here.

Crashes also happen on the busy roads that connect Lilburn to neighboring communities and nearby highways, where faster through traffic meets local streets and driveways.

If a crash on US 29 or another state route was caused by a road defect, such as a missing sign or a broken signal, you may be able to bring a claim against the State of Georgia. That brings a shorter notice deadline, which we explain below.

Practice Areas

When You Need a Lilburn Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

People walking near the city center and along US 29 have no protection when a driver fails to yield. Injuries are often severe, and insurers often try to blame the person on foot.

A Lilburn pedestrian accident lawyer can gather the proof that answers that blame. Helpful evidence includes:

The exact spot of the crash and the nearest crosswalk
Signal timing and whether the walk sign was on
Lighting at the time of the crash
Video from nearby businesses, which is often recorded over within days
Damage to the vehicle, which can show speed and point of impact

We handle pedestrian accident claims for people hit in crosswalks, parking lots, and along roads without sidewalks.

After a Crash in Lilburn: Reports, Care, and First Steps

City Police or County Police: Who Took Your Report?

This is one of the first things to sort out. The Lilburn Police Department works crashes inside city limits. But many homes with a Lilburn mailing address are outside city limits. Gwinnett County Police handle crashes there, and their South Precinct is located in Lilburn.

Look at the officer’s card or the paperwork you received at the scene. It will tell you which agency has your report.

How to Get Your Crash Report

Lilburn Police Department (inside city limits): Reports are usually ready 3 to 5 business days after filing. You can get a copy:

In person at the Records window, 4600 Lawrenceville Hwy, Lilburn, GA 30047, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
By mail
Through the city’s JustFOIA online portal
Through BuyCrash, for a fee

Gwinnett County Police (outside city limits): Copies are $5 at any Gwinnett County Police precinct, about 4 business days after the crash. You can also order the report online through BuyCrash for a fee. If you are not sure which agency responded, call us. We can track down the report for you.

Where Seriously Injured People Get Care

Northside Hospital Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville is the only state-designated trauma center in Gwinnett County. It is a Level II trauma center.

The most severe injuries may be sent to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, a Level I trauma center that also runs the Grady Burn Center.

Injured children may be taken to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. It runs a Level I pediatric trauma center at Arthur M. Blank Hospital and a Level II center at Scottish Rite.

Keep every discharge paper and bill from each hospital. These records become the foundation of your claim.

Steps That Protect Your Claim

Get Medical Care And Follow It

Missed appointments give insurers a reason to say your injuries are not serious. Following your treatment plan protects your health and your claim.

Watch What You Say

A simple "I'm okay" to an adjuster can be used against you later. Before you give a recorded statement, talk with us.

Stay Off Social Media

One photo or post can be taken out of context. It is safer to stop posting until your claim is resolved.

Do Not Rush To Settle

Early insurance offers often come before the full cost of your injury is known. A free consultation costs you nothing and can help you judge an offer.

Filing Deadlines, Including Shorter Notice Rules for Government Claims

Georgia gives injured people 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit (O.C.G.A. section 9-3-33). Miss it, and you will likely lose your right to sue. You can read about Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations and its exceptions.

Two years can pass quickly. Video gets erased, witnesses move, and memories fade long before the deadline.

Claims against a government move faster. You must send a formal written notice, called an ante litem notice, well before the 2-year mark:

City of Lilburn: within 6 months (O.C.G.A. section 36-33-5). This can apply if a city vehicle hit you.
Gwinnett County: within 12 months (O.C.G.A. section 36-11-1). This can apply to a crash with a county vehicle.
State of Georgia: within 12 months (O.C.G.A. section 50-21-26). This can apply to a GDOT road defect claim on US 29.

These notices have strict content rules. If a government vehicle or road may be involved, contact us early.

Evidence That Proves What Happened

A strong claim rests on proof. These are the pieces we gather first:

Evidence matters for another reason. Georgia follows modified comparative negligence (O.C.G.A. section 51-12-33). If you are found partly at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found 50 percent or more at fault, you recover nothing. Insurers know this rule well, and strong evidence helps keep blame where it belongs.

If gathering evidence feels overwhelming, leave it to us.

Where a Lilburn Injury Case Is Usually Filed

Most injury cases settle without a trial. When a lawsuit is needed, we usually file a Lilburn case in Gwinnett County.

Two courts hear civil injury cases there: the State Court of Gwinnett County and the Superior Court of Gwinnett County. Both sit at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, GA 30046.

The proper county depends on the defendants and Georgia’s venue rules. If the at-fault driver lives in another county, the case may belong there instead. We review the venue before filing so your case starts in the right place.

What It Costs to Hire Us

You pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee, which means our fee is a percentage of the money we recover for you.

You owe no attorney fee or case expenses unless we recover compensation for you. There are no hourly bills. Your written fee agreement explains the percentage and how case costs, such as record and filing fees, are handled after a recovery.

Why Injured People Choose Us Over Other Lilburn Personal Injury Attorneys

Before you compare injury attorneys, Lilburn residents should ask who will actually work on the case, how evidence will be gathered, and how quickly the firm acts on deadlines. Here is how we answer those questions:

We answer 24/7. Injuries do not keep office hours, and neither do our phones.
We look for digital evidence. Michael’s engineering background helps us pull and use phone data, vehicle data, and video.
We watch the short deadlines. City, county, and state notice rules can cut a claim off in months. We check for them at the start.
We can take a case to federal court. Michael is admitted in federal courts, including the 11th Circuit, which can matter in cases involving trucking companies or out-of-state defendants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Lilburn Police or Gwinnett County Police handle my crash?

Lilburn Police handle crashes inside city limits. Gwinnett County Police handle crashes outside the city limits, even when the address says Lilburn. The officer’s card or scene paperwork will name the agency.

How do I get a copy of a Lilburn Police crash report?

Reports are usually ready 3 to 5 business days after filing. You can pick one up at the Records window at 4600 Lawrenceville Hwy, request it by mail or through the city’s JustFOIA portal, or buy it online through BuyCrash.

Where would my Lilburn injury case be filed?

If Gwinnett County is a proper venue, an injury lawsuit may be filed in its State Court or Superior Court in Lawrenceville. We review the defendants and Georgia’s venue rules before filing.

A City of Lilburn vehicle hit me. Is my deadline different?

Yes. You must send the city a written ante litem notice within 6 months (O.C.G.A. section 36-33-5). That is much shorter than the usual 2-year filing deadline, so call a lawyer quickly.

I was hit while crossing US 29. What should I do?

Get medical care first. Then write down the exact spot, the nearest crosswalk, and any businesses nearby, since their cameras may have recorded the crash. Contact us before that video is erased.

Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?

Often, yes. Under Georgia’s comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. section 51-12-33), your award is reduced by your share of fault. You recover nothing if you are 50 percent or more at fault.

Can my spouse make a claim after my injury?

In many cases, yes. A spouse may bring a loss of consortium claim for the companionship and support lost because of your injury. We review this with every married client.
