Personal Injury Attorneys
The attorneys at Simon Bridgers Spires have litigated thousands of injury and wrongful death cases.

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A GOOD PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY IN ATLANTA?
Personal injury lawyers are a dime a dozen in this city and the one you choose will be handling the largest financial transaction you will ever have, outside of a home purchase. Being unfamiliar with the legal process and how to choose a good attorney can make the decision a real challenge.
If you are looking for a lawyer, the worst has already come to pass. You are dealing with a serious injury, or God forbid, a death in the family. How do you pick amongst a sea of lawyers posing in suits in front of the skyline? Do you read reviews, are they real, what “awards” are phony? We are here to answer that question first and help you work through the process. We also have a considerable legal library available to you above so you can become an expert on your own case.
We promise that on Day 1, you will have real legal answers as to whether you have a workable case and if not, why not. No BS.
Our Personal Injury Practice Areas
We are highly skilled at representing members of our community who have been injured in a number of different accident types. While we realize that no two accidents are the same, we apply the same level of skill and dedication to every case we take on. Our personal injury practice areas include:
- Motor vehicle accidents. Because of Georgia’s tort liability system and fault laws, recovering the compensation that you think you deserve after a car accident is not always as straightforward as it should be. We help you prove fault, gather evidence for your claim, and handle negotiations with an insurance adjuster.
- Dog bite claims. The owner of a dog that bites another person in Georgia should be held liable for damages, and Georgia maintains strict liability rules for dog bites. We can help you to prove liability and recover your full compensation amount
- Wrongful death. There are few things more difficult than losing a loved one, especially when you know that the loss of life could have been prevented but for someone else’s reckless or wrongful actions. When a wrongful act leads to death, Georgia’s law allows the personal representative of the deceased to file a claim for damages for beneficiaries.
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents. When a pedestrian or cyclist is struck by a motor vehicle, their damages are often severe and devastating. We want to help those who are recovering from tragic injuries recover the compensation that they need to pay for their medical treatment and address their lost wages and suffering.
If you have been injured in an accident that you do not see listed above, please call our law offices and we can sort through your specific case to see if we can help.

Tyler Bridgers was a blessing to my case. This was my third law firm and I wish I hired him to represent me at the beginning of my case!! He was an amazing Lawyer. His communication and professionalism were always on point. Thank you again Tyler and Simon Law Firm!!
I originally contacted the Simon Law firm based on the great reviews I read when searching for a lawyer to handle my case after a car accident. Let me just say that I am happy I found this firm and can attest to the fact that my experience with both Tyler and Laynie has been nothing short of amazing.
If you want an honest, down-to-earth attorney whose main concern is your well-being, Attorney Simon is the best. His whole team is very professional and thorough. They communicate and guide you through the whole process. They treat you as if you were family and always operate in your best interest.
Chris is an outstanding lawyer who is honest, hard-working and an overall great human being. I highly recommend him.
Mr. Simon has excellent client service and will treat you with respect. Prior to working with him, I had a very bad experience with my former attorney, so was thrilled when I found Chris! He and his staff are always available to help and answer questions you have about the process. I would highly recommend his services, you will not be disappointed!
Chris Simon has been a great injury attorney for Atlanta clients of mine with personal injury claims in addition to their workers’ comp claims. I recommend him for auto accidents, wrongful death, and other injury or accident claims in Georgia.
We listen to your concerns and make sure you know all of the options before you make a decision on your case.
Comparative Negligence Laws In Atlanta, GA
Another law of which to be aware when filing a personal injury claim in Atlanta is Georgia’s comparative negligence law. In Georgia, a claimant cannot recover compensation when they are found to be more than 49 percent at fault for an accident. In the event that a claimant is found to be less than 49 percent at fault for a personal injury, they are allowed to recover compensation. However, the defendant named in their suit will only be liable for the defendant’s percentage of damages. For example, in a personal injury slip and fall case in which the owner of a property is found to be 60 percent at fault, the property owner is only liable for 60 percent of the claimant’s damages.
Types Of Compensation Recoverable In A Personal Injury Suit
When you are injured and need financial compensation to help you move forward in life, our attorneys at Christopher Simon Attorney at Law will advocate for your full recovery amount. You have the right to seek compensation for all losses, including:
- Economic damages, which are the damages for your actual financial losses, such as property damage, lost wages, and medical expenses; and
- Noneconomic damages, which are damages for immeasurable, intangible losses, such as the value of your pain and suffering, disability, loss of quality of life, etc.
In some cases, punitive damages may also be allowed. Punitive damages are damages that are awarded solely to punish the defendant in the case for willful misconduct, malice, or fraud. Punitive damages in Georgia are capped at $250,000, per Section 51-12-5.1of Georgia Code.
Is It Really Necessary I Have A Personal Injury Lawyer?
Sorting through the sad cast of characters can be as frustrating as reading a foreign menu because it is just not a world most people ever have to deal with. Do you choose between them based on a nice suit, a good photoshop job, a picture of an impressive building or skyline? Do you read reviews, are they real, what “awards” are phony? Personal injury lawyers are a dime a dozen in this city and having one all depends on the circumstances of your case.
A Few Things To Consider When Deciding To Hire A Personal Injury Attorney
- Not sure who is at fault: If you were involved in an accident and it is not clear who’s fault it is, you should consider talking to an attorney. The insurance companies will try hard to blame you for damages in situations like this. An attorney can defend you from counterclaims and cross-claims and help protect your rights.
- Experienced a serious injury or permanent disability: You cannot take your chances when a lifetime of suffering, pain and bills are at stake. Preventing lifelong financial stress is the job of a personal injury attorney.
- Being denied or have a claim delayed by the insurance company: The complicated laws and procedures involved in a personal injury claim are something insurance companies know individuals lack knowledge in. A Lawyer can assist you in this area.
So When Do I Need To Call A Personal Injury Attorney?
You can choose to represent yourself in a personal injury case. However, the victim involved usually lacks the proper training and experience needed to negotiate with the insurance carriers and resolve important issues that arise in any personal injury case. We have over 20 years of legal experience and know what it takes to be on the side of our clients when things are not fair and the unjust need defending against insurance companies or negligent individuals. Chris Simon Law Firm will be able to educate you on your rights, give you a reasonable timeline and strategy for your case, and keep you informed as important developments arise.
Will I Be Speaking With An Attorney Or Someone Else When I Call?
We don’t believe in not talking to our clients directly so when you call, you will speak specifically to one of the firm’s three Atlanta personal injury lawyers. Having multiple offices, we have the capability of helping many in the state of Georgia. With strong traditional ethical and Christian values, we are very clear when giving you your options before you have to make a decision. Because we care a great deal about our clients you must understand that we are selective about the cases we accept to make sure we are a good fit for each other. We pride ourselves in caring for our clients and are not like most Atlanta personal injury attorneys who will just take any case that comes in the door.
