Personal injury law addresses situations where someone is harmed as a result of another party’s negligence, careless conduct, or intentional act. It is not about accidents alone, but about accountability. Under Georgia law, a successful personal injury claim must prove that another party breached a legal duty of care and that this breach directly caused harm.

In Augusta, common claims include:

• Motor vehicle accidents involving cars, motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians
• Slip and fall incidents and other premises liability cases.
• Medical malpractice and misdiagnosis claims
• Dog bites and animal attack injuries
• Injuries sustained in the workplace that do not fall under workers’ compensation
• Wrongful death lawsuits following fatal incidents

Each of these cases starts with a simple but essential question: Did someone have a responsibility to keep you safe, and did they fail to do so?

Augusta’s roads, workplaces, and gathering places reflect a diverse and active community, which means risk is always possible. From busy intersections near Washington Road to quiet neighborhoods along the Savannah River, injury incidents happen when care is lacking.

Among the cases we handle include:

• Vehicle-related collisions, including crosswalk incidents, rear-end crashes, and trucking accidents.
• Premises liability, where lax maintenance or negligence causes falls or injuries in stores, public places, or rental homes
• Medical malpractice occurs when professional care falls below standard and harms patients in hospitals or clinics.
• Animal-related injuries, under laws permitting owners to be held accountable when their pets bite or attack
• Wrongful death occurs when families need clarity and closure after an avoidable fatality.

Every injury has its own story. We begin by listening closely, compassionately, and without judgment, and helping you understand what to do after an accident in Georgia.

Handling insurance claims, negotiating settlements, and going to court can wear you down, especially when you are already dealing with recovery and emotional strain. The legal system is complex by design. A knowledgeable, assertive attorney levels the playing field.

Hiring an injury lawyer in Augusta provides:

• Deep familiarity with local courts and regional legal customs
• Insights into how insurers operate in this part of Georgia
• Negotiation strength to challenge low offers and stall tactics
• Clear explanations, timely updates, and advocacy tailored to you

You should never have to worry about filing deadlines, hidden procedures, or missing out on compensation. We handle the details so you can focus on healing.

Our approach is informed by experience and guided by compassion. We believe great representation comes down to three things: preparation, communication, and commitment.

• Local knowledge with legal grit: We know Augusta’s systems, from courthouse procedures to insurance tactics, and how to use them in your favor.
• Prepared for trial, even in settlement talks: Our cases are built to succeed at trial, because that strength secures fair settlements.
• Personal case management: You are not a file number. We meet with you, stay responsive, and speak plainly.
• Bilingual team for a diverse community: Communication without barriers is the first step toward your empowerment.

From the start, we take the time to understand not just your case but your concerns, your goals, and what justice looks like for you.

Every personal injury case is unique, but compensation usually depends on:

• Severity and permanence of your injuries
• Clear liability, how strongly the other party can be shown at fault
• Limits on available insurance and assets
• Economic damages, like medical costs and lost income
• Non‑economic losses such as pain, suffering, and emotional trauma

We calculate your losses with precision and build a case that reflects not just what happened, but what you have endured, and what you will need to move forward.

When you hire us, you gain an advocate and a guide. Here is what the process looks like:

• Free Consultation and Case Assessment – We listen to your story, review what happened, and share how we can help without obligation.
• Thorough Investigation – Medical records, witness interviews, photographs, and police reports are gathered with precision and strategy.
• Strategic Negotiation with Insurers – We know how insurance companies think. We push back hard on any offer that undervalues your case.
• Trial Preparation and Court Advocacy – If the case requires courtroom advocacy, we are fully prepared and confident in front of a judge or jury.

Throughout the process, we provide updates, answer questions, and make sure you are never left in the dark.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Augusta?

Georgia law generally gives two years from the date of injury to file your claim. This time may be longer or shorter, depending on the circumstances. Missing this deadline can bar your case entirely.

Are Legal Fees Required Upfront?

No. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe us nothing unless and until we win compensation on your behalf.

What if I Share Fault? Can I Still Recover?

Yes. Georgia follows comparative negligence, which means your percentage of fault may reduce your compensation, but you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% responsible.

A personal injury can leave lasting effects, and justice should not be delayed. The Dixon Firm stands ready to help Augusta residents navigate this time with integrity, strength, and real results. You deserve an advocate who sees your case as more than a file, and you deserve a team that sees you.
