$450 Million so far - 2024 Cover Story Attorney Super Lawyers - Board Certified
Kathy McArthur is a top-rated personal injury attorney, trucking accident attorney, and medical malpractice attorney, and has obtained multiple successful MULTI-million dollar recoveries for clients.
Her firm ONLY handles SERIOUS bodily injury cases, wrongful death claims, medical misdiagnosis in GA and other states. The Firm limits its INJURY cases to: wrongful death cases, serious bodily injuries, like scarring, burn injuries, dislocated or broken bones, blindness, loss of hearing, organic brain damage, spinal cord injury or neck fracture.
Very substantial awards have also been obtained by her law firm (at trials or being settled just before trial started) for 7-figure & 8-figure amounts [$10,000,000 or higher].
While most recoveries for clients have been in Georgia, other substantial verdicts (at trial) obtained in cases in over a dozen other states, too.
Another type of civil litigation our legal team handles are product liability cases. These lawsuits provide for financial recovery for injury or death caused by a defective or dangerous product, tool, vehicle, or device. A variety of different theories can be alleged, such as failure to warn (when the bottle's label was not clear or complete) or the product later is shown (over time) that it kills or disables (e.g., vaginal mesh, Roundup brand weed control).
Motor vehicle deaths or grievous injury cases in GA are sometimes caused by unsafe and defective design, such as (in car accidents) a single lap seat belt, without a shoulder strap being also added. In Atlanta GA, Macon GA, Warner Robins, GA, and Gainesville GA.
The personal injury attorney has helped people harmed by nursing home abuse or extended care facilities. The post-COVID era brought nursing home abuse, nursing home neglect (mistreatment, beatings or other negligence) have grown.
Negligent security claims like hotel or apartment security lapses or failures, leading to rape or assault, or a medical malpractice lawsuit.
