Our Story And See What Sets Us Apart
Experience You Can Trust
Hasner Law serves clients across Georgia, from metro Atlanta to Savannah and the coastal region. Our attorneys handle cases in state and superior courts statewide — and that presence matters, because procedural rules, court schedules, and defense strategies vary by jurisdiction. A claim filed in Chatham County moves differently than one filed in Fulton County, and our team has direct experience in both systems.
Several of our attorneys began their careers representing insurance companies and employers, and Senior Attorney Judy Blackwell served for six years as an Administrative Law Judge at the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation, presiding over more than 500 cases. Our team has operated on the defense side, the bench, and the claimant side — and we bring all three perspectives to every case we build.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Award Winning

Hasner Law attorneys have earned recognition from legal organizations in Georgia and across the country for their work in personal injury and workers’ compensation law. Together with Attorney Akash Patel, who began his career defending employers and insurers, our team uses that background to anticipate disputes, evaluate evidence, and prepare cases for the next stage.

Personal Injury Cases
We Handle in Georgia
Hasner Law represents injured people in a range of accident types throughout the state. Each practice area involves distinct legal strategies, insurance structures, and evidence requirements — the legal strategy for a truck accident on I-16 near Savannah looks different from a car accident on I-75 through Cobb County, even though both fall under the same comparative fault framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia?
Georgia gives you two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Claims against government entities carry shorter notice deadlines, ranging from six months for city claims to 12 months for state claims.
Workers’ comp claims follow a separate timeline: 30 days to report the injury to your employer and generally one year to file with the State Board, though extensions may apply in certain circumstances. Missing any deadline may permanently bar the claim.
How much does a Georgia personal injury lawyer cost?
How much does a Georgia personal injury lawyer cost?
A personal injury lawyer in Georgia typically works on a contingency fee basis, meaning the attorney fee comes out of the recovery rather than your pocket. At Hasner Law, your first consultation is free, and case expenses are discussed up front so there are no surprises. No Fee Unless We Win.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 allows you to recover compensation as long as your share of responsibility stays below 50%. Your recovery decreases by your fault percentage, and at 50% or more, you recover nothing.
In practice, the comparative fault determination drives the entire settlement conversation. A case worth $300,000 with 0% plaintiff fault becomes a $240,000 case at 20% fault and a $0 case at 50%. The insurer’s initial fault assessment is not final, and the evidence presented by your attorney may change the outcome.
Does Georgia's 2025 tort reform law affect my case?
Does Georgia's 2025 tort reform law affect my case?
The answer depends on when your injury occurred. SB 68, signed on April 21, 2025, specifies different effective dates for different provisions. The medical expense evidence rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-1.1 and seatbelt admissibility apply only to causes of action arising on or after April 21, 2025.
Procedural changes, including anchoring restrictions on non-economic damages arguments, trial bifurcation options, and discovery stays on motions to dismiss, took effect immediately and apply to pending litigation. An attorney reviews which rules govern your specific claim.
Can I file a personal injury claim alongside my workers' comp case?
Can I file a personal injury claim alongside my workers' comp case?
Yes, when someone other than the employer caused the workplace injury. The two cases proceed on parallel tracks: the workers’ comp claim goes through the State Board and may provide medical treatment and income benefits, while the personal injury claim goes through the civil courts and may recover pain and suffering, full lost wages, and other damages workers’ comp does not cover.
Georgia’s subrogation rules under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-11.1 may give the workers’ comp insurer a conditional right to seek reimbursement from a third-party settlement or verdict. Your attorney reviews whether the subrogation claim is enforceable and, if so, negotiates the amount to maximize what you take home. Having one firm handle both tracks avoids the communication gaps that arise when two separate attorneys manage the same injury.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case in Georgia?
How do I know if I have a personal injury case in Georgia?
You may have a personal injury case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you suffered measurable damages such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain. Georgia law requires proof that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused your harm. A Georgia personal injury lawyer at Hasner Law reviews the facts at no cost during a free consultation.
