Macon Personal Injury Lawyers

At The Dixon Firm, we serve Macon individuals and families who have been hurt and need real answers and real results.

Our personal injury attorneys in Macon bring experience, grit, and compassion to every case we handle. Whether it is a car accident, a slip in a downtown shop, or negligence in a local hospital, we hold wrongdoers accountable. 

We offer free case evaluations with no pressure, no upfront costs, and no risk. Let’s talk so that you can take the next step forward. Se habla espanol.

Under Georgia law, a personal injury case arises when one party is harmed due to another’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. That harm could be physical, emotional, or financial, but what matters is that it could have been prevented.

To bring a valid claim, we must prove:

• The other person owed you a duty of care.
• They breached that duty of care, either by action or inaction.
• That breach caused your injury.
• Your injury resulted in actual damages, like medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

These cases are about more than compensation; they are about protecting your rights and holding people accountable for the damage they cause.

Macon may feel like a tight-knit community, but accidents still happen every day. Whether it is a crash on I-75 or a fall in a neighborhood store, negligent actions have serious consequences.

We handle many types of personal injury claims in and around Macon, including:

• Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, including rideshare collisions and pedestrian injuries
• Bicycle and pedestrian incidents, especially near high-traffic areas and school zones
• Slip and fall accidents often are the result of poor maintenance or unsafe property conditions.
• Medical malpractice, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and improper treatment happening in local hospitals or clinics
• Dog bites and animal attacks, where pet owners failed to control a dangerous animal
• Workplace injuries that fall outside of standard workers’ comp coverage
• Wrongful death claims– typically filed by family members seeking justice for a fatal loss

Every case we take on starts with the same commitment: listen first, then fight hard.

When you are hurt, the last thing you should have to do is battle an insurance company. But that is precisely what many victims face: delays, denials, or lowball offers designed to make the problem go away cheaply. This is where we step in.

Hiring a personal injury attorney in Macon brings serious advantages:

• Familiarity with local courts, judges, and insurers gives us insight into how your case is likely to unfold
• Negotiation strength ensures you are not pushed into accepting less than you deserve
• Access to resources, including investigators and medical consultants
• We provide strategic guidance throughout your claim, ensuring you never feel lost or unheard.

We are more than your legal team; we are your advocates, your voice, and your shield.

The Dixon Firm is not a volume shop. We do not rush cases out the door. We give each client the time and attention their case deserves.

Here is what makes our approach different:

• Local Knowledge, Real Results – We understand how the courts operate and what insurers look for when settling or fighting claims. 
• Ready for Trial from Day One – We prepare each case like it is going to court, even if it settles, because that is how you gain real leverage.
• Compassionate, Clear Communication – You will not be left wondering where your case stands. We return calls, explain the ins and outs, and keep you in the loop.
• Bilingual Legal Support – We proudly serve Macon’s Spanish-speaking community with fluency and respect. 

Compensation in a personal injury case varies based on several factors. We examine:

• The long-term impact of your injuries and their severity
• Medical expenses, including treatment, rehab, and future care needs
• Lost income and the reduced ability to work
• Pain and suffering
• Liability clarity, including whether you were partially at fault
• Available insurance coverage and financial resources of the defendant
• Wrongful death damages, where there is loss of life

We take the time to document your damages thoroughly. Then, we fight to make sure every dollar of that value is reflected in your outcome.

Your case should be handled with transparency, urgency, and care. Here is what the process generally looks like:

• Free Case Review – You tell us what happened. We listen and offer our perspective, with no pressure and no payment required.
• Investigation & Evidence Collection – We gather applicable information that supports your case: police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other relevant information.
• Insurance Negotiations – We handle all communication with insurers and aggressively negotiate on your behalf.
• Trial Preparation (If Needed) – If a fair settlement is not on the table, we are ready to file and argue your case in court.

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

Georgia’s statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of injury. This time could be longer or shorter, depending on the circumstances. If you miss this window, your claim may be barred, so act quickly.

Do I Have to Pay Legal Fees Upfront?

No. We work on a contingency basis. You do not owe us a fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Can I Still Recover Compensation if I Was Partially at Fault?

Yes. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you were less than 50% at fault, but your share of the blame will reduce your compensation.

If you were injured because someone else made a reckless decision or failed to act responsibly, do not face the consequences alone. At The Dixon Firm, we are ready to help you rebuild financially, physically, and emotionally.
