Cobb Defense represents people injured by someone else’s negligence, in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks, slip and falls, dog bites, and more. We handle each case in-house, from investigation through trial, and deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on recovery. Call (770) 627-3221 for a free consultation.
An injury lawyer proves who was at fault, documents the full extent of your injuries, and handles the insurance company so an early lowball does not become your final outcome. The insurer controls whether you are paid fairly, and a lawyer is what levels that imbalance.
We take injury cases in-house from the first investigation through settlement or trial, rather than referring them out. The case is built on the evidence: the police report, the medical records, and the proof of who caused the harm. That is the work that moves a claim, and it is the work we do on yours.
We handle injury cases on contingency, which means there is no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and the consultation is free. You pay nothing up front, and our fee comes out of the recovery rather than out of your pocket while the case is ongoing.
Before you sign anything, we put the fee and the expected costs in writing, so you can see exactly how a settlement would be divided between the recovery, the fee, and any medical liens. You will not be surprised by the math at the end of your case.
We handle the full range of personal injury claims, from common traffic wrecks to catastrophic and wrongful death cases. Each type has its own rules of liability and its own evidence, so the approach is matched to the case.
If your situation is not on this list, call (770) 627-3221. We can tell you quickly whether it is something we handle.

This section carries the local search intent the firm earns (“personal injury lawyer marietta,” “cobb personal injury”). It states where we are and who we serve, without claiming geography we have not confirmed.
A personal injury claim in Georgia is built on proving another party was negligent and that their negligence caused your harm. Georgia is an at-fault state, so the responsible party and their insurer are liable for the damages. The state follows modified comparative negligence, which means you can recover as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault, with your recovery reduced by your share of the blame.
The work of a claim is the proof. We reconstruct how the injury happened, gather the medical evidence that shows its full extent, and put a documented value on it before negotiating. Most claims settle, but the ones that settle fairly are usually the ones the other side believes will go to trial otherwise, so we prepare every case as if it will be tried.
The steps you take after an accident protect both your health and your claim. Your health comes first, and the evidence you preserve early is what supports the claim later.
The other side’s insurer may contact you quickly and sound friendly. Talking to a lawyer before you give a statement keeps an early remark from being turned into a reason to reduce or deny your claim.
There is no single average, because settlement value depends on the severity of the injury, the medical costs, lost income, and the long-term impact. A minor soft-tissue claim and a permanent-injury claim are worth very different amounts. The honest answer for any specific case comes from reviewing the medical records and the facts of how it happened.
Be fully honest with your own lawyer, there is nothing you should hold back from them, because they can only protect you if they know everything. The caution is about what you say to the other side’s insurer: avoid recorded statements, admissions of fault, or speculating about your injuries before you have legal advice.
Georgia’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Some situations, such as a claim against a government entity, carry shorter deadlines. Acting early also preserves evidence before it becomes harder to obtain.
