Atlanta's Primary Catastrophic and Personal Injury Law Firm
Helping people in Atlanta, Savannah, and across the state of Georgia
get the strongest recoveries possible
Personal injury victims and the families of deceased victims have the right to expect that the liable person or business will be held accountable. Legally, accountability means payment of the maximum financial award allowable to compensate victims for their medical bills, lost income, daily physical pain, emotional suffering, scarring, disfigurement, and all other related expenses. Injury victims need representation from professional Atlanta personal injury lawyers to determine how and why the incident or injuries happened, who is responsible, and the full extent of their damages.
At Harris Lowry Manton LLP, our team of knowledgeable attorneys have a reputation of success. We are the only Georgia firm to secure number one verdicts in seven different categories – automotive, products liability, personal injury, business torts, premises liability, nursing home misconduct, and medical malpractice – in the last 15 years. Our lawyers have more eight-figure verdicts than any other firm in Georgia over that same time period. Our strong record of handling complex cases is why many attorneys, including the top personal injury lawyers in the region, refer clients to us.
Catastrophic Injury
We fight for victims who suffer permanent injuries and for those who need around-the-clock care, or whose lives have been dramatically altered through no fault of their own. We have built a strong reputation for representing the families of loved ones who have been killed as a result of someone else’s negligence. Some of the most serious personal injury claims our Atlanta catastrophic injury lawyers handle include:
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI). This injury often completely changes a person’s life. A TBI can cause severe cognitive difficulties, loss of physical function, and many emotional complications.
SPINAL CORD INJURIES. We are experienced at showing that an act of negligence by another party caused loss of motor function, loss of bladder control, changes in sexual function, and other pain and nerve damages. In the most serious cases, victims can become quadriplegics or paraplegics.
LOSS OF LIMB. Clients who lose an arm or a leg, a hand or a foot, or multiple appendages, suffer physical pain and the inability to perform daily living activities, such as eating or enjoying time with their loved ones. Some people are permanently unable to return to work. Prosthetics may be required. The physical pain is made worse for most patients because it is accompanied by the emotional suffering of disfigurement.
BURN INJURIES. First-, second-, and third-degree burns can be caused by an auto or truck accident, accidents at home, or accidents in workplaces, such as industrial sites. Even with surgery, burns often cause scarring and disfigurement.
CHILD INJURY. These cases are especially serious because children are less developmentally equipped to process trauma and can suffer lasting effects into adulthood.
INJURIES CAUSED BY PROPERTY OWNERS. Business and property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe so that visitors and shoppers do not slip and fall, get hit by moving objects, or get attacked because security was negligent.
NURSING HOME ABUSE. Our lawyers represent seniors who have been mistreated or otherwise hurt due to physical, sexual, emotional, or financial abuse, or due to negligence.
WRONGFUL DEATH. We represent the families of loved ones who have been tragically killed due to the fault of another. Our lawyers seek and demand compensation for the loss of financial and emotional support the deceased would have provided spouses, children, and other family members. When a catastrophe occurs, you can rely on the experience and compassion of the Atlanta and Savannah personal injury attorneys at HLM.
ESSENTIAL WORKERS. HLM is dedicated to protecting Georgia’s essential workers during the COVID-19 outbreak. Contact us to learn more about our services.
MOVIE & TELEVISION. Georgia’s choice for entertainers who have been hurt on set and on location.
STRUCTURAL AND BUILDING COLLAPSE. Most structural failures are caused by errors in design, , or maintenance. Contact us for help if you were injured because of a structural collapse.
$27M Verdict in Truck Accident Case
Harris Lowry Manton LLP recently won a $27 million verdict for their client, 81-year-old Judith Fielder, in a truck accident case against Latium USA Trading LLC and its driver. The compensation includes over $4.5 million in compensatory damages and $20 million in punitive damages. The case highlights the importance of trucking companies and their drivers adhering to safety regulations to prevent catastrophic accidents. We invite you to read more about it here.

Trucking and Auto Accidents
Drivers and vehicle owners have a duty to drive safely. Vehicle collisions are a leading cause of fatalities and injuries in Georgia and across the country. Our Atlanta and Savannah auto accident lawyers handle cases involving:
Auto accidents. We protected people injured by speeding, reckless driving, distracted or drunk driving, or any other negligent roadway behavior. Our firm also handles claims involving autonomous vehicles.
Truck accidents. Truck drivers and trucking companies who encourage drivers to put profit and fast delivery ahead of safety should pay their victims for the injuries and deaths they cause. From drowsy or distracted drivers to poorly maintained vehicles and defective parts, our experienced Atlanta and Savannah truck accident lawyers can handle complex claims.
Motorcycle accidents. These crashes are often deadly or catastrophic because motorcycle riders have little protection, often falling straight to the ground at high speeds.
Public transportation and mass transit accidents. We file claims against governmental entities, owners, and drivers in these types of cases, which often injure multiple occupants and are often caused by faulty supervision, poor training, failure to follow regulations, intoxication, and careless disregard for others. We handle:
Drivers and owners need to understand that if they cause death or injuries, they should pay for failing to obey the traffic laws, failing to properly prepare their vehicles, and for reckless behavior.
Defective Products
If a consumer product causes injuries and the product was defective when used, the victim likely has a case against the makers, distributors, or sellers of the product. Our Atlanta injury lawyers have a strong record of success in the following types of claims:
Auto defects. The manufacturers of cars and car parts deserve to be held accountable when steering wheels fail to turn, brakes fail to perform, electrical components do not work, or other car defects cause death or injury.
Truck defects. Truck accidents are especially dangerous because of a truck’s weight, size, and dimensions. Cars and motorcycles are no match for trucks that have bad brakes, defective hydraulics, bad tires, and other defects.
Defective medical device products. Makers of hip implants, vaginal meshes, prosthetics, and other medical devices make a lot of money when they sell their products. When the products cause the user to need corrective surgeries or to manage intense physical pain, the makers can and should be sued for the injuries they cause.
Defective pharmaceutical products. Drug makers, distributors, and sellers have a duty to make sure their products are safe for consumers.
Dangerous talcum powder products. Current studies show that there is a link between the use of talcum powder and ovarian cancer. At HLM, we are bringing product liability claims against talc manufacturers for the harm they cause women and their families.
Our Atlanta and Savannah product liability attorneys handle a full range of product liability cases including the above actions and those involving electrical products and toys that cause harm or fatalities.
Fighting for victims of medical
malpractice and negligence
