The cases we take
Cooper Law is plaintiff-side by design. We represent injured people and grieving families against insurers and corporate defendants, and we do not take criminal, family or business matters — a narrow practice is how a small firm stays good at the thing it does.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck and tractor-trailer crashes, where federal safety rules and the carrier’s own records decide the case.
Learn more →Motorcycle Accidents
Serious-injury claims for riders hurt by drivers who did not look.
Learn more →Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) Accidents
Uber and Lyft collisions, where which insurance layer applies depends on what the driver’s app was doing.
Learn more →Pedestrian Accidents
People struck while walking — crosswalks, parking lots, and roads built without sidewalks.
Learn more →Bicycle Accidents
Riders hit on Atlanta streets, the BeltLine connectors and suburban corridors.

Two rules of Georgia law that decide most claims
- The filing deadlineIn Georgia, an action for an injury to the person must generally be brought within two years of the date the right of action accrues. (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.) Claims against a municipality, county or state agency carry their own, shorter written-notice deadlines.
- Shared faultDamages are reduced in proportion to the share of fault assigned to the injured person, and no damages are recoverable if that share is 50 percent or more. (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33.) That 50 percent line is why an insurer's first move is so often to argue you contributed to the crash.

How a case moves
Free case review
Tell us what happened. Omar reviews the facts personally and tells you honestly whether you need a lawyer at all.
Investigation
We obtain the crash or incident report, medical records, scene and vehicle evidence, video before it is overwritten, and witness statements.
Demand and negotiation
We document every element of loss — medical, wage, future care, pain — and negotiate from a file the insurer can see is ready to be filed.
Suit, if it is needed
If the offer does not reflect the harm, we file in the right court and prepare the case to be tried.
The full walkthrough, including what each stage typically costs you in time, is on the our process page.

Check eligibility →Where we practice
The office is downtown at 260 Peachtree Street, and we take cases across the Atlanta metro — Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Douglas and Fayette counties — and statewide in Georgia. Each service-area page sets out the county, the court that would hear the case, where the crash report comes from and which trauma centre serves that area.
Georgia gives most injury claims two years from the date of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), and a claim against a city, county or state agency can require written notice in as little as six months. If a deadline passes, the claim is gone no matter how strong it was.
Questions people ask before they call
What does it cost to hire Cooper Law?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means our fee is a percentage of what we recover and there is no fee if we recover nothing. Case expenses are advanced by the firm and repaid out of the recovery. You get the fee in writing before you sign anything.
How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?
Most personal-injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Some are shorter: a claim against a Georgia city generally requires written ante litem notice within six months, and a claim against a county or the State within twelve. A few situations extend the clock. The only safe assumption is that yours is short.
Will I actually speak to the attorney?
Yes. Omar reviews the file and signs your representation agreement. Cooper Law is a small firm on purpose — the trade-off for not being a billboard practice is that the lawyer whose name is on the door is the one reading your medical records.
The insurance company already called me. Should I give a recorded statement?
Not before you have talked to a lawyer. A recorded statement is taken to be used, and the questions are written to produce admissions about fault and about how badly you are hurt — before you know either answer yourself. You are not required to give one to the other driver’s insurer.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover, as long as you are less than 50 percent responsible; your damages are reduced by your share (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33). Because that line decides whole cases, the fault question is usually where the real fight is.
Do you handle cases outside Atlanta?
Yes — Cooper Law takes injury cases across Georgia, and mass-tort claims nationwide. If a matter is better handled by a firm closer to the courthouse, we will say so.
Georgia deadlines are short. A conversation is free.
