Overview
Your Local Personal Injury Law Firm in Gwinnett County
The Gunn Law Group has an office at 5955 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Ste 149, Norcross, GA 30071 — right in the heart of Gwinnett County. We are not an Atlanta firm that occasionally takes Gwinnett cases. We are physically here, serving this community, and we know the county inside and out.
Gwinnett County is the second-most populous county in Georgia. More than 1 million people live here. They drive on I-85, Buford Highway, Pleasant Hill Road, Sugarloaf Parkway, and Jimmy Carter Boulevard every day. They shop at the Mall of Georgia and Sugarloaf Mills. They work in the industrial parks along Satellite Boulevard and the tech corridors near Peachtree Corners.
When someone in Gwinnett County gets hurt — in a car accident, a truck wreck, a slip and fall, a workplace injury — they need a lawyer who knows the local court system, the local judges, and the local insurance landscape. They need a lawyer they can meet in person without driving into Atlanta.
That is what The Gunn Law Group provides. We have recovered millions of dollars for personal injury clients across Georgia, and our Norcross office exists specifically to serve the people of Gwinnett County.

We represent injury victims in Gwinnett County across every major category of personal injury law.
Car Accidents
Gwinnett County’s roads are among the most dangerous in Georgia. I-85 running through the county sees some of the heaviest traffic in the state. Pleasant Hill Road, Buford Highway, Jimmy Carter Boulevard, and Sugarloaf Parkway are high-volume corridors with frequent collisions. If you were hurt in a car accident anywhere in Gwinnett County, our Norcross office is minutes away and our attorneys are ready to take your case.
Truck Accidents
The I-85 corridor through Gwinnett County carries heavy commercial truck traffic between Atlanta and the northeastern United States. Truck accidents on I-85 near Suwanee, Duluth, and Norcross cause catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. We handle claims against trucking companies and their insurance carriers.
Motorcycle Accidents
Georgia’s comparative fault law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) applies to motorcycle accidents, and insurance companies routinely try to blame motorcyclists for crashes. We represent riders injured on Gwinnett County roads and push back on biased fault assignments.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Shopping centers, grocery stores, apartment complexes, and commercial properties throughout Gwinnett County owe visitors a duty of care under O.C.G.A. § 51-3-1. When negligent property maintenance causes an injury, the property owner is liable. We handle premises liability claims against businesses and landlords across the county.
Wrongful Death
When a negligent party causes the death of a loved one, Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-4-1 et seq.) allows the surviving spouse, children, or parents to pursue a wrongful death claim. These cases require aggressive representation and compassionate client service — both of which we provide.
Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-2-7, dog owners in Georgia are liable for injuries when their dog was known to be vicious or dangerous, or when the owner violated a leash law. Gwinnett County has specific animal control ordinances that strengthen these claims.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber and Lyft operate heavily throughout Gwinnett County. Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance structures with coverage tiers based on the driver’s app status. We understand these claims and pursue maximum coverage.
Why Gwinnett County Cases Need Local Lawyers
Personal injury cases are not purely legal exercises. They involve local knowledge that directly affects case strategy, settlement negotiations, and trial preparation.
The Gwinnett County Court System
Personal injury lawsuits in Gwinnett County are filed in either Gwinnett County State Court or Gwinnett County Superior Court. State Court handles civil cases without equity issues and is typically where personal injury lawsuits are filed. Superior Court has general jurisdiction and exclusive jurisdiction over cases seeking equitable relief. State Court can hear civil cases of any dollar amount, so the size of a claim does not decide which court hears it.
The courthouse is located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. Filing deadlines, local rules, and judge preferences vary by court — and a lawyer who has practiced in these courts knows the landscape. We file cases in Gwinnett County regularly and understand the procedural environment.
Local Knowledge of Roads and Hazards
When we review a car accident case on Pleasant Hill Road or a truck wreck on I-85 near the Sugarloaf Parkway interchange, we already know the road. We know the traffic patterns, the construction zones, the problem intersections. This knowledge matters when reconstructing the accident, deposing witnesses, and presenting the case to a jury drawn from the Gwinnett County community.
Insurance Adjusters Know Local Lawyers
Insurance companies assign adjusters to specific regions. The adjusters who handle Gwinnett County claims know which law firms are serious and which are not. When The Gunn Law Group sends a demand letter, it carries the weight of a firm that has recovered millions and has more than 500 five-star reviews. That reputation affects settlement negotiations.

Gwinnett County Roads and Accident Hotspots
Gwinnett County has some of the highest traffic volumes in the state of Georgia. Understanding where accidents happen — and why — is essential context for any personal injury claim.
I-85 Through Gwinnett County
Interstate 85 is the backbone of Gwinnett County’s road network and one of the most dangerous highways in Georgia. The stretch between Suwanee and the DeKalb County line carries some of the heaviest daily traffic volumes in Georgia. High-speed merging, aggressive lane changes, semi-trucks, and construction zones create constant collision risk. Major interchange areas — I-85 at Pleasant Hill Road, I-85 at Jimmy Carter Boulevard, I-85 at Steve Reynolds Boulevard — are frequent accident locations.
Buford Highway (US-23/GA-13)
Buford Highway runs through the heart of Gwinnett County’s international corridor, from Doraville through Norcross and into Buford. The road is a patchwork of strip malls, restaurants, and small businesses with frequent driveways, crosswalks, and turning movements. Pedestrian accidents are especially common along Buford Highway due to high foot traffic and limited sidewalk infrastructure.
Pleasant Hill Road
Pleasant Hill Road between I-85 and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard is one of the busiest surface streets in Gwinnett County. The intersection of Pleasant Hill and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard is particularly dangerous due to high turn volumes, heavy truck traffic, and complicated signal timing.
Sugarloaf Parkway
Sugarloaf Parkway connects much of central Gwinnett County from Duluth through Lawrenceville to Dacula. The road has high speed limits, wide lanes, and intersections that encourage aggressive driving. Crashes at Sugarloaf and Satellite Boulevard, Sugarloaf and Meadow Church Road, and around the Gas South District are frequent.
Jimmy Carter Boulevard
Our Norcross office is located on Jimmy Carter Boulevard, and we witness the traffic conditions firsthand. This corridor is one of the most congested in Gwinnett County, with a dense mix of commercial, retail, and residential traffic. Rear-end collisions, sideswipe accidents, and intersection crashes are daily occurrences.
Steve Reynolds Boulevard and Satellite Boulevard
These parallel corridors through Duluth and the Gwinnett Place area carry heavy traffic from the warehouse and industrial zones. Large trucks, delivery vehicles, and employee commute traffic create a high-risk environment.
Georgia Personal Injury Law: The Legal Framework
Georgia personal injury law governs every claim filed in Gwinnett County. Understanding these statutes is essential to maximizing your recovery.
O.C.G.A. § 51-1-2 — Negligence Standard
A person injured by the negligence of another is entitled to recover damages. Negligence is the failure to exercise ordinary care — the degree of care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise under the same circumstances.
O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 — Modified Comparative Fault
Georgia follows a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the incident. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. At 50% or more, you recover nothing.
This is critical in Gwinnett County cases because insurance companies will aggressively try to shift fault to you. In car accident cases, they will argue you were speeding, distracted, or failed to yield. In slip and fall cases, they will claim you were not paying attention. We build evidence to counter these arguments.
O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 — Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Georgia is two years from the date of the injury. For wrongful death claims, it is two years from the date of death (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Missing this deadline bars your claim entirely.
O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11 — Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Georgia requires auto policies to include uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage unless the insured rejects it in writing. If you are hit by a driver without adequate insurance, your own UM/UIM policy may provide additional recovery. We investigate all available coverage sources in every case.

888-BIG-GUNNDamages You Can Recover in a Gwinnett County Personal Injury Case
Georgia law allows injury victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages.
Medical Expenses
All reasonable and necessary medical costs — emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, chiropractic care, diagnostic imaging, prescription medications, medical devices, and anticipated future medical care.
Lost Wages and Earning Capacity
Income lost during recovery, including salary, hourly wages, overtime, bonuses, and self-employment income. If your injuries permanently affect your ability to work, you may recover loss of future earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, loss of enjoyment of life, and other non-economic harms. Georgia does not cap non-economic damages in personal injury cases.
Property Damage
Repair or replacement of your vehicle and any personal property damaged in the incident.
Punitive Damages
In cases involving willful misconduct, malice, fraud, or conscious indifference to consequences, Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1) allows punitive damages up to $250,000 in most cases. Punitive damages are designed to punish particularly egregious behavior.
Loss of Consortium
If your injuries have affected your relationship with your spouse, your spouse may have a separate claim for loss of consortium.

Steps to Take After a Personal Injury in Gwinnett County
1
Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Your health is the priority. A medical record from the day of the incident is also your strongest evidence.
2
Document Everything
Photos of the scene, injuries, property damage, hazardous conditions, and any relevant details. If it was a car accident, get the other driver’s information and insurance details.
3
File a Police Report (If Applicable)
For vehicle accidents, call 911 and ensure an officer documents the scene. The police report is valuable evidence.
4
Report the Incident
If you fell on someone’s property, report it to the property owner or manager. Ask for a copy of the incident report.
5
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement to the Insurance Company
They will use your words against you. Let your lawyer handle communications.
6
Preserve Evidence
Keep your clothing and footwear. Save text messages, photos, and any correspondence. Do not post about the incident on social media.
