John Foy & Associates
John Foy & Associates helps victims of catastrophic injury, wrongful death, workplace accidents, and defective drugs. Since our humble beginnings in a one-room office in 1999, the “Strong Arm” of John Foy & Associates has done things differently—and our clients love our approach.
John Foy founded his firm on the belief that everyone should be treated with the care and respect they deserve, from his clients to his employees.
We pride ourselves on being the firm that cares, and it shows in everything we do. Our attorneys handle small caseloads so they always give our signature level of service: we are not a “volume firm” and we don’t take on more clients than we are able to serve. We are collaborative, supportive, and encouraging, and we work to build a diverse, inclusive community within our firm.
Even prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, we made significant investments in technology including e-signature functionality and video conferencing so that we can handle your case from beginning to end without physically meeting with us. Your health and safety have always been our top priority, and we believe that you should be able to get the best representation without putting yourself at risk.
Our internal quality controls and processes ensure nothing gets missed with your case. Other firms rely heavily on support staff, but we use an attorney-driven approach: your lawyer works with you directly and drives the process which frequently nets higher valuations and better results for the client. Our skilled experts provide the education and communication you expect—and the attention your case deserves.
At John Foy & Associates, we have experience handling everything from car accidents to premises liability claims. If you’ve been the victim of someone else’s negligence, either directly or indirectly, we can help. Here are just a few examples of some of the practice areas we handle:
Dog Bites
Car Accidents
Truck Accidents
Slip, Trip, & Fall
Social Security Disability
Workers Compensation
Of course, this list is not conclusive, so if you have a case you don’t see listed here, contact us to discuss it. There’s a good chance we have experience in whichever area of law it is that you need help with.

View Available Job OpeningsThe time limit, or statute of limitations, within which you can legally file a claim varies greatly. That’s why the sooner you call a lawyer near you, the better. According to OCGA §9-3-33, you have two years from the date of your injuries or your family member’s death to file your personal injury claim.
These statutes of limitations are relevant for civil cases such as car accidents, wrongful death, and other personal injury claims.
That said, government entities, Native American reservations, and cruise ships all have their own laws. In these cases, the statute of limitations period could be very, very short, in some cases just weeks.
Hiring a car accident lawyer will not cost you anything upfront. We take our fee as a percentage of your settlement. That’s zero charges upfront and zero charges if we should not make a recovery. You have no risk.
Our goal in all our cases is to get our clients as much money as we can as quickly as we can. The first and most important part, however, is getting you healthy and back to your life as much as possible. Then we can put a value on your case.
You can get a free consultation no matter how many times you need our advice, and our personal injury lawyer’s service costs nothing until your case is officially won. We don’t take cases we don’t think we can win.
This is a question that doesn’t have one concrete answer. How much your settlement will be depends on the type of personal injury case you’re filing a claim for. For example, a moderate car accident case will recover around $30,000. Still, a severe car accident that leads to permanent disability or disfigurement can lead to a settlement worth several million dollars.
This all depends on a few key factors:
There’s so much that goes into the value of your settlement that it’s impossible to tell how much it’s worth without first consulting with one of our personal injury attorneys.
According to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) §51-12-33, Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Therefore, if you, the plaintiff, are found guilty by the courts to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you will lose the right to any recovery. However, you are still eligible for compensation if you are less than 49% responsible.
The judge will reduce the amount you are awarded damages in proportion to the percentage of fault. For example, a plaintiff the courts find 10% responsible for the accident would receive $90,000 of a $100,000 award or 90% of the total award amount.
