Serious Injuries, Serious Results

Council & Associates, LLC

Atlanta Personal Injury Law Firm

At Council & Associates, our only goal is to recover the maximum compensation available for every client while providing outstanding customer service. If you or a loved one have suffered serious injuries due to a car accident, trucking accident, or daycare abuse in Georgia, we can help. At Council & Associates, we work tirelessly to get you the money you’re owed for your injuries.

After an injury, the team at Council & Associates is prepared to fight for you. Failing to hire experienced legal professionals, like those at Council & Associates, can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Without expert legal guidance, you may unknowingly settle for less than you deserve or miss important deadlines for filing a personal injury claim. Insurance companies often aim to minimize compensation for injury victims, and navigating the complex legal process alone can leave you vulnerable to unfair tactics. The skilled personal injury attorneys at Council & Associates can protect your rights and ensure you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to, allowing you to focus on healing instead of dealing with the stress of legal procedures.

  • Property owners are not typically liable for injuries caused strictly by weather conditions such as rain or ice. However, they do have a responsibility to maintain a reasonably safe environment. This means if an injury occurs because the property owner failed to manage hazards that were exacerbated by weather, like clearing ice from walkways or addressing water accumulation that leads to slips, they could be considered liable. We can help determine if negligence played a role in your injury and guide you through the legal options available.
