Clarke County, Oconee County, and Gwinnett County schools typically start by early August, and that changes everything on our roads. Passing a stopped school bus with flashing lights can cost up to $1,000 under GA Code 40-6-163. All traffic fines double in active school zones. Distracted driving near schools is among the leading causes of crashes affecting children. If your family is affected by a school-zone accident in Athens, Lawrenceville, or Gwinnett, Boggs, Cowan & Fargione is here. (706) 637-3343 General information only.

Workplace injuries happen more often than most people realize, from construction sites to office environments across Georgia. Workers' comp (OCGA Title 34) covers medical bills and about two-thirds of lost wages regardless of fault. But it is not always the only option. Under OCGA 34-9-11(b), if a third party, a negligent contractor or defective equipment manufacturer, contributed to your injury, a separate personal injury claim may also be available. Boggs, Cowan & Fargione helps injured workers in Athens, Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County, and across Georgia understand both pathways. (706) 637-3343 General information only.

Truck accidents on Georgia highways, I-85, I-285, US-78, are not like regular car accidents. Multiple parties can be liable, federal FMCSA rules govern the case, and critical evidence can disappear within days. If you were hit by an 18-wheeler in Gwinnett County or Lawrenceville, the trucking company's legal team may already be working. Boggs, Cowan & Fargione sends evidence preservation demands immediately. (706) 637-3343 Serving Gwinnett, Lawrenceville, Athens, and Northeast Georgia. General information only.

Let us bust some Georgia personal injury myths.

MYTH: if you were partly at fault, you cannot recover.
REALITY: under OCGA 51-12-33, you can recover as long as you are less than 50 percent at fault.

MYTH: insurance companies offer fair settlements on their own.
REALITY: the first offer is rarely the full picture.

MYTH: I cannot afford an attorney.
REALITY: BCF Law works on contingency, nothing unless we recover for you.

Summer is peak season for motorcycles on Georgia roads, and one of the most dangerous times to ride. Heat affects tire pressure. Afternoon rain arrives fast. Distracted drivers are a constant on US-78 near Monroe, Highway 316 near Winder, and throughout Gwinnett County. Reminders: wear full gear regardless of temperature, stay visible with bright colors, and increase following distance in summer rain. If you are injured in a Georgia motorcycle accident, Boggs, Cowan & Fargione handles these cases in Gwinnett, Monroe, Athens, Winder, and Northeast Georgia. (706) 637-3343 General information only.

Under Georgia law (OCGA 51-2-7), a dog owner can be held liable if they knew, or should have known, their dog had a tendency to bite. Here is what often surprises people: Athens-Clarke County and Gwinnett County both have local leash ordinances that can create liability even without a prior bite history. If you or your child was bitten, report it to animal control right away. Athens-Clarke County Animal Control: (706) 613-3540. Gwinnett County Animal Welfare: (770) 339-3200. Then seek medical care and photograph the injury. Boggs, Cowan & Fargione handles dog bite cases in Athens, Watkinsville, Gwinnett County, and across Northeast Georgia. Call (706) 637-3343 for a free consultation. General information only, not legal advice.

Case Win! Gwinnett County Superior Court just ruled in favor of our clients, The Bondsman, Inc. and John P. Nevil, II, in a five-year fight against the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office.

After the Sheriff revoked our clients' bail bond certificate in 2021, BCF took the case all the way to the Georgia Court of Appeals and won. The Superior Court has now struck down the Sheriff's Rule 2.5.7 as unconstitutional and ordered immediate reinstatement of our clients' 2026 certificate of authority.

The Court found the rule violated Georgia's constitutional right to pursue a lawful occupation, conflicted with state surety statutes, and rested on an improper delegation of legislative power.
Proud of this result for our clients and grateful for the trust they placed in our firm through a long legal process. ⚖️

Hurt in an accident in Georgia? Four things to know before you talk to anyone: you generally have 2 years to file, but evidence disappears fast; partial fault does not end your case under Georgia's comparative negligence rule; you are NOT required to give the other insurer a recorded statement before talking to an attorney; and BCF Law consultations are free, we work on contingency. Serving Athens, Lawrenceville, Gwinnett, and Northeast Georgia. (706) 637-3343 General information, not legal advice.

If you are ever in a car accident in Georgia, what you do in the first 60 minutes can shape your entire claim. Athens-Clarke County alone had 5,000+ crashes in 2024. The checklist: call 911 and get a police report, get medical care right away, photograph everything, get witness information, do not admit fault, and call BCF Law before speaking with the other driver's insurance company. (706) 637-3343 Serving Athens, Lawrenceville, Gwinnett, and Watkinsville. Not legal advice.
