Local Car Accident Representation in Forsyth County Matters

To get started, call 770-886-3030 for a free consultation. Our firm works on a contingency basis and never charges you unless we win a recovery.
We understand the unique challenges faced by injury victims in our community. From navigating the busy GA-400 corridor to dealing with local medical providers, our deep roots in Cumming allow us to provide representation that's truly tailored to your needs. Some billboard lawyers never meet with their clients in person. The number one complaint we hear from potential clients who come to us after being disappointed with other firms is that they felt like just another case number. Many large firms may promise quick settlements or flashy advertisements, but they don't return their client's phone calls.
Our philosophy is different. We pride ourselves on building personal relationships with each client. We take the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and keep you informed every step of the way.

A Family Run Practice: Focused on Making Our Roadways Safer
As a father-son legal team with deep roots in the Cumming community, we bring both experience and innovation to your case. Robert Bourne established our firm in 1990, building a reputation for integrity and results.
Our mission is to make our local roadways safer and hold negligent drivers accountable. Notably, fatal crashes in Forsyth have increased in recent years – from 13 in 2019 and 2020 up to 24 fatal crashes in 2022. This upward shift in fatalities aligns with statewide trends of rising roadway deaths in the post-pandemic period.
Distracted driving – especially mobile phone use behind the wheel – is a leading contributor to crashes in Georgia. Statewide data show that over half of all crashes involve driver distraction. A 2023 roadside observational survey found nearly 1 in 5 drivers (19.6%) in Georgia was observed engaging in some form of distraction (e.g. talking or texting on a phone, eating, etc.) at any given time. In other words, at least 20% of drivers are distracted during typical daytime travel in Georgia. When drivers, companies, or insurance carriers have to pay big settlements or verdicts, it sends a message: distracted or reckless driving has real consequences.
When you work with Bourne Law, you're not just another case number - you're part of our extended family. We take the time to understand how your injuries have affected your life, your family, and your future. This personal approach allows us to tell your story effectively to insurance companies, judges, and juries.
Time Limits in Personal Injury Cases
2 year time limit to file most injury claims
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date the injury occurs or the claim “accrues.”
Lawsuits Against Govenment Entities - 6 Moths to One Year
In Georgia, you cannot simply wait two years to sue a city, county, or state government – you must first provide written notice of your claim to the government within a set time frame, or your claim can be barred.

First, ensure everyone is safe and call 911 if there are any injuries or serious damage. If it's safe, move your vehicle out of traffic. Exchange information with the other driver (names, contact, insurance details) and take photos of the scene and damage. It's also helpful to get contact info for any witnesses. Even if it seems minor, consider getting a police report as it documents the incident.
