Practice Areas
Buckhead Law Saxton handles personal injury and wrongful death matters across a range of accident types throughout Georgia.
Car Accidents
The firm represents car accident victims throughout metro Atlanta and Savannah, including clients in Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Mableton, Roswell, Stonecrest, and Athens. Georgia’s two-year statute of limitations requires prompt action. The firm pursues economic damages for medical expenses and lost wages, non-economic damages for pain and suffering and PTSD, and punitive damages when the facts support them. Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rules allow recovery for clients who are less than 50% at fault.
Motorcycle Accidents
Buckhead Law Saxton has served Georgia motorcycle riders since 1977, handling crashes on Atlanta’s six interstates and congested highways. Motorcycle accidents on metro Atlanta roads commonly involve merging vehicles, intersection left turns, distracted drivers, speeding, and drunk driving. The firm investigates crashes through accident reconstruction, crash reports, eyewitness statements, and video evidence, working with Level I trauma centers at Grady Memorial Hospital and WellStar Atlanta Medical Center to document catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, fractures, and limb loss.
Truck Accidents
Atlanta’s status as a transportation hub, with six interstates including I-285, described by the firm as “the deadliest interstate in America,” makes truck accidents a significant source of serious injury. Buckhead Law Saxton investigates distracted driving, driver fatigue, speeding, maintenance failures, and negligent hiring as causative factors. Liable parties can include the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, and parts manufacturers.
Tow Truck Accidents
The firm provides specialized representation for tow truck accident victims, investigating liability arising from distracted driving, fatigue, equipment failure, and regulatory violations specific to commercial vehicle operations.
Wrongful Death
Buckhead Law Saxton has helped grieving families throughout metro Atlanta since 1977. The firm handles wrongful death cases arising from car crashes, truck accidents, medical malpractice, workplace fatalities, premises liability incidents, and defective product injuries. Georgia law establishes a specific order of priority for who may seek wrongful death compensation, beginning with surviving spouses and children.
Additional Case Types
The firm also handles bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, rideshare accidents, insurance claim disputes, and medical malpractice throughout Metro Atlanta, including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties.
