Common Questions from Injured People in Duluth

How much does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. Free consultation to start.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Georgia law sets specific deadlines—usually two years for personal injury, but exceptions exist. Workers’ comp claims have different rules: one year to file with the State Board, and you must notify your employer within 30 days. Specific deadlines depend on your case type. Talk to an attorney immediately to protect your rights.
What if I can’t afford medical care right now?
We help connect you to medical providers who work with injury cases. Getting proper medical documentation is critical for your case—and for your health.
The insurance company already offered me a settlement. Should I take it?
Probably not. Initial offers are often far below true case value. Never accept a settlement without talking to an attorney first. Insurance companies protect their bottom line, not yours.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Georgia uses comparative negligence. If you’re less than 50% at fault, you may still recover compensation—reduced by your percentage of fault. Each case is unique. An attorney can evaluate your specific situation.
How much is my case worth?
Case value depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other factors. We can only provide an estimate after reviewing your specific details.
What if I don’t have health insurance?
We work with medical providers experienced with injury cases who understand payment structures. You can get treatment while your case is pending.
Do I have to go to court?
Most cases settle before trial, but we’re fully prepared to fight in court if needed. We’ll recommend the best path for your situation.

Top 10 Most Dangerous Intersections in Duluth, GA and Why They’re Hazardous

  • 1. Pleasant Hill Road and Satellite Boulevard

    This intersection consistently ranks as Duluth’s most dangerous crossing. The massive intersection near Gwinnett Place Mall causes confusion for unfamiliar drivers, and heavy congestion during 4–7 PM leads to risky behaviors like red-light running and aggressive lane changes.

  • 2. Pleasant Hill Road and Howell Ferry Road

    Notorious for a viral multi-vehicle crash caused by a red-light runner. Multiple turning lanes, pedestrian crossings, and high traffic volumes make this intersection one of Duluth’s most unpredictable danger zones.

  • 3. Steve Reynolds Boulevard and Venture Drive

    One of metro Atlanta’s top high-risk intersections with repeated monthly crashes. Serves both commuters and local residents, creating dangerous traffic mixing during rush hours.

  • 4. I-85 and Pleasant Hill Road (Exit 104)

    Five fatal accidents between 2016–2021. The mix of interstate speeds and local traffic creates hazardous merging and deceleration zones. Wrong-way driving and multi-car collisions have been reported here.

  • 5. Duluth Highway and Satellite Boulevard

    Accidents often occur during evening rush hour near major business centers. Rear-end collisions are frequent as drivers get distracted in stop-and-go traffic on this east-west connector.

  • 6. Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard

    Among Gwinnett County’s highest crash zones, with 17 accidents monthly. Complex left turns and fast-moving lanes combine with impaired and distracted drivers for a dangerous mix.

  • 7. Buford Highway and Pleasant Hill Road Area

    This corridor experiences constant accidents involving commercial trucks, red-light violations, and overturned vehicles due to congestion and unpredictable merging behaviors.

  • 8. Peachtree Industrial Boulevard Corridor

    Home to a 54% rise in hit-and-run cases and several pedestrian fatalities. Abbots Bridge Road intersection noted for a hit-and-run involving a Duluth police officer.

  • 9. Satellite Boulevard and Commerce Avenue

    Site of a head-on collision that gained local media attention. Regular rear-end collisions occur due to sudden stops and heavy traffic exiting nearby shopping centers.

  • 10. Buford Highway and North Berkeley Lake Road

    Frequent serious incidents involving impaired drivers and dump trucks. Complex traffic flow patterns and inconsistent speed limits contribute to collision frequency.

Common Risk Factors Across These Intersections

Traffic Volume and Congestion: Over 60,000 vehicles pass through many of these intersections daily, creating pressure and frustration among drivers.

Complex Traffic Patterns: Multiple turn lanes, unclear signal timing, and angled approaches make navigation difficult for both local and visiting drivers.

Speed Differential Issues: Sudden shifts from highway to surface-street speeds near I-85 cause rapid braking and merging hazards.

Distracted and Impaired Driving: Duluth averages 947 car crashes per year, with distraction and speeding cited as leading causes.

Infrastructure Challenges: Outdated traffic designs haven’t kept pace with the city’s rapid growth, leading to poorly optimized intersections.

Commercial Area Proximity: Many hotspots sit near malls or business districts, where unfamiliar drivers make unpredictable movements.

Understanding these hazards helps Duluth drivers stay alert, prevent collisions, and contribute to safer community roads.
