We have never represented insurance companies and we never will. Our passion is for helping people overcome the life-altering consequences of a serious personal injury or work accident.
Our offices are located in Cumming, but we have represented individuals over the entire state of Georgia. Our firm was founded by personal injury attorney Robert E Bourne, who has successfully represented thousands of injured Georgians over the course of his career.
When you suffer an injury, you want someone with a personal touch who will handle your matter personally. We often hear from people who are frustrated with lawyers who will not return their phone calls. We are a local, family-owned firm and we don’t employ case managers or clerks to screen our calls. We believe that close communication with our clients is the key to obtaining the best results. We understand that litigation can be a stressfull experience.

Bourne Law Firm's philosophy is to treat every client the same way we would want to treat our own family member who suffered a serious accident. We selective about our cases and intentionally limit the amount of cases that we take. We believe this allows us to give each case the specialized attention it deserves. If you have a serious injury, you want to hire a trial attorney. The insurance companies know which lawyers are willing to fight for your rights and top-dollar settlements. We will even fight the insurance companies all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. As trial attorneys, we prepare every case as if it were going to trial.
"I give my personal cell number to all of my clients so that they can reach me whenever they need my help. Our goal is to treat your case with the same diligence and respect that we would give to a member of our own family that was injured." -Robert E. Bourne

Workers' compensation is one of our firm's primary areas. 50 percent of the cases we handle involve workplace injuries. Other lawyers refer workers' compensation cases to us because of our extensive experience in this area. Our attorneys are asked to speak at legal seminars to teach other lawyers about workers' compensation law.
Workers' compensation cases are unlike other types of personal injuries. In workers' compensation, there are special rules about when you may be entitled to benefits. Not all attorneys are familiar with workers' compensation law. Robert Bourne has been handling workers' compensation cases for over three decades. Our expereince in this area allows us to get the maximum value for your workers' compensation cases.
It is very common for workers compensation claims to be denied, even based on weak legal arguments. You have a right to request a hearing with the State Board of Workers compensation if your claim has been denied. If you have been denied medical treatment, a weekly check, or even your entire claim, then contact a workers comp lawyer immediately. A lawyer will be able to file the request for a hearing, gather relevant evidence through discovery, and argue your case in front of a workers compensation judge.

Don't wait to contact an attorney if you get hurt at work. The clock is ticking on your case. the Georgia statute of limitations restricts the amount of time injured workers have to file a claim to within one year of the accident date—not two years as in other personal injury claims. Also, workers compensation laws in Georgia have many deadlines and traps that could damage the value of your case. We will protect your benefits.
