Services
Car Accidents
Our firm represents clients injured in car accidents caused by negligence. We handle all aspects of the claim including medical expense recovery, vehicle damage compensation, and pain and suffering damages. With extensive experience in Georgia traffic law and insurance practices, we negotiate with carriers to ensure full compensation for current and future medical needs while clients focus on recovery.
Truck Accidents
Truck accident cases require specialized knowledge of federal and state transportation regulations. We investigate all factors including driver fatigue, equipment failure, and company compliance violations. Our team works with accident reconstruction experts to establish liability against trucking companies and their insurers to recover maximum compensation for catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims.
Premises Liability
We represent clients injured due to unsafe property conditions including slip and fall accidents, inadequate security, and swimming pool incidents. Our attorneys prove property owner negligence by demonstrating failure to maintain safe premises or provide adequate warnings. We pursue compensation for medical costs, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation needs resulting from these preventable accidents.
Dog Bite Injuries
Our firm handles dog bite cases under Georgia's strict liability laws. We document injuries through medical records and photographs while investigating the dog's history of aggression. We pursue claims against pet owners' homeowners insurance policies to cover reconstructive surgery, scarring treatment, and psychological trauma counseling for victims of severe animal attacks.
Wrongful Death
We provide compassionate representation for families who have lost loved ones due to negligence. Our attorneys prove liability in cases involving medical malpractice, vehicle collisions, and unsafe premises. We seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering while guiding families through the complex legal process during this difficult time.

Questions
How much does it cost to hire The Rodd Firm?
We work on a contingency fee basis - if we don't recover compensation for you, you pay nothing. Initial consultations are always free and confidential.
What types of cases does The Rodd Firm handle?
We specialize in personal injury law including car accidents, truck collisions, slip and falls, dog bites, medical malpractice, motorcycle accidents, and wrongful death cases.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Georgia's statute of limitations is generally two years from the injury date, but exceptions exist. Contact us immediately to ensure timely filing.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Georgia follows modified comparative negligence. You can still recover damages if less than 50% at fault, though compensation reduces by your percentage of fault.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case for trial. This preparation often leads to better settlement offers from insurance companies.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, collect witness information, and contact our firm before speaking with insurance adjusters to protect your rights.
