McArthur Law Firm: The Georgia Law Firm with Proven Results
Hiring us means getting the best. Our attorneys are well-known by our insurance company defense adversaries in the legal profession. We won’t wrap up a case until all medical tests and treatments are completed, because once a case is “closed out,” it’s over. Any conditions you may discover ex post facto are moot.
It also takes the best to get the best. Our founding attorney, Katherine McArthur, has 44 years of experience practicing law in the state of Georgia and was recently singled out in the Feb. 2024 edition of Super Lawyers as a key voice among Georgia’s personal injury attorneys. Each of our attorneys have a proven track record of litigating on behalf of our clients.
A Georgia personal injury law firm’s reputation speaks volumes about its ability to aggressively advocate for clients. It’s important to understand what “separates the litigators from the settlers” among Georgia law firms.

In September 2019, my mom and sister suffered a horrific accident with a tractor trailer taking the life of my sister. Overwhelmed with shock and grief, my family and I didn’t know where to start with recovery. A relative researched and referred McArthur Law Firm after finding credible reviews for their trustworthy professionalism. I can’t speak enough of selecting Attorney Jessica Edmonds. She was our beacon of hope at time we felt limited. Jessica took the time to understand the unfortunate mental, emotional and physical trauma my Mom was dealing with. She thoroughly investigated and identified the root cause of what happened on that fatal day. More importantly, we able to just focus our attention on her healing plan. She successfully reached a fair settlement in a short time. We appreciate her and the McArthur Law Firm staff’s friendly, knowledgeable and responsive service. I highly recommend Jessica Edmonds for anyone seeking genuine representation and impeccable service! My family and I are eternally grateful. Thank you, Jessica.

Cases We Represent
A personal injury case can occur in a myriad of ways. We have litigated thousands of these types of cases:
Product Liability – When a defective or dangerous product causes injury or death, it is crucial to hold the responsible parties accountable. Our firm specializes in product liability cases where clients have suffered due to faulty design, manufacturing defects, or insufficient warnings. These cases often involve significant harm, such as permanent impairment of motor skills, vision, or hearing, and require thorough investigation and expert testimony to build a strong case.
Nursing home or extended care facilities – Elderly and vulnerable individuals in nursing homes and extended care facilities deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, neglect and abuse are all too common, leading to severe injuries or even death. Our lawyers are committed to uncovering the truth in cases where patients have been harmed due to improper care, such as being mishandled during transfers or neglected in basic hygiene and medical needs.
Medical malpractice – Healthcare providers have a duty to uphold a reasonable standard of care, as outlined in OCGA Section 51-1-27. When doctors, nurses, or other medical professionals fail to meet this standard, the consequences can be devastating for patients and their families. Medical malpractice cases often involve complex medical and legal issues, requiring a deep understanding of both fields. Our legal team has the expertise to navigate these challenges, whether the case involves surgical errors, misdiagnosis, improper treatment, or other forms of negligence that result in harm to patients.
Car Accidents – Car accidents can result in serious injury and even death. Even smaller accidents can induce whiplash and back injuries, not to mention the actual damage to the involved cars. Fortunately, state law requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of insurance – unfortunately, not everyone follows this law, and most insurance companies try to fight claims. If you have been in an accident against a person with no insurance or whose insurance is claiming you to be at fault, you need to contact The McArthur Law Firm.
Spinal Cord Injury – Spinal cord injuries are often debilitating. From smaller back pain to paralysis, these injuries must be treated fully and immediately. Spinal injuries are common after serious motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and acts of violence like a stabbing or gunshot.
Wrongful Death – In the worst cases, an accident or negligence can result in the wrongful death of a loved one. This could be the result of improper training, negligent security or general negligence such as a car accident. Close relatives and spouses are generally eligible to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased. These claims generally take the form of either financial compensation in the amount that the deceased is expected to generate during his or her lifetime, and/or policy changes to ensure another similar death does not occur.
Premises Liability – Occasionally, flaws in the design of a place of business can result in injury. These can include areas of poor maintenance, and areas prone to accident. In these cases, our attorneys seek to prove that it is the fault of the business or home-owner that you suffered the accident through no fault of your own.
What About Compensation?
We’ve mentioned compensation a lot, but what does that term really mean? Depending on the circumstances, compensation for personal injury cases refer to either specific or general damages.
Specific Damages
Specific damages, also known as economic damages, cover the direct financial losses you incur as a result of your injury. These are quantifiable expenses that can be documented and proven with bills, receipts, and pay stubs. Some common examples of specific damages include:
Medical Expenses: This includes all costs associated with your medical treatment, such as hospital bills, surgery costs, prescription medications, physical therapy, and any future medical care you may require.
Lost Wages: If your injury has caused you to miss work, you are entitled to recover the income you have lost during your recovery period. This can also extend to a loss of earning capacity if your injury affects your ability to work in the future.
Property Damage: If your personal property, such as your car, was damaged in the incident that caused your injury, specific damages would cover the cost of repairs or replacement.
Rehabilitation and Therapy Costs: This includes expenses for any ongoing rehabilitation, therapy, or assistive devices needed to aid in your recovery.
General Damages
General damages, also known as non-economic damages, address the intangible impacts of your injury that are not easily quantifiable in monetary terms. These damages acknowledge the broader effects of the injury on your life and well-being. Examples of general damages include:
Pain and Suffering: This compensation covers the physical pain and discomfort you have endured as a result of your injury. It also considers any ongoing pain that may persist in the future.
Emotional Distress: Injuries often come with emotional and psychological consequences, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. General damages can include compensation for this emotional suffering.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If your injury prevents you from participating in activities or hobbies that you once enjoyed, you may be entitled to compensation for this loss of enjoyment.
Loss of Consortium: This refers to the impact of your injury on your relationship with your spouse or family members, including loss of companionship, affection, and support.
At its core, compensation is about making you whole again after an injury caused by someone else’s negligence.

How Does the Trial Process Work?
The legal process for personal injury suits can be daunting. We’ve broken the process down into a few key steps:
Initial Consultation – During the initial consultation, you will meet with one of our lawyers. This consultation is crucial because it allows us to develop an understanding of your needs and to see if our firm is right for you. We do not accept cases unless we are sure that the client will benefit from our retainer.
File for Compensation – Once we have the facts of the case, the next step is to formally request for compensation from the insurance company. Prior to filing for compensation, we will obtain all documentation that we can, including medical records, statements from the accident and any other information that you can provide.
The insurance company will eventually return a response, which will include either denial of coverage in full or in part, or a settlement offer.
Negotiation – If the insurance company flatly denies coverage, the next step is likely trial. However, if they offer partial coverage then we may begin what is known as “pre-trial negotiation.” During this stage, we will meet multiple times with the insurance company to until they either provide what you agree is an acceptable sum or the company ultimately declines the amount of coverage that we request.
Trial – If we are unable to reach an agreement with the insurance company, we will prepare a legal case and deliver it at trial. Some of the many responsibilities undertaken by our firm are:
Jury selection
Gathering evidence, including evidence of the accident and medical tests and testimony
Preparing arguments for the jury’s consideration
Filing pre-trial motions to shut down the oppositions use of certain evidence and to resolve any legal issues
Post-Trial – Once the trial has completed (hopefully with a favorable outcome), we will take care of receiving and disbursing funds. Insurance companies can sometimes be slow (or forgetful) when it comes to providing payouts, so part of our responsibility is to make sure you receive your settlement.
