Car Accidents
Representation for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians hurt by careless driving.
Serving Georgia and Louisiana

Owner & Managing Attorney
Charlie A. Fortson, Esq.
An accident changes more than your calendar.
There's the pain. Then the medical bills, the missed work, the calls from adjusters, and the quiet worry about how all of it gets paid for.
Our job is to take the legal weight off your shoulders — the paperwork, the deadlines, the negotiation — so you can put your attention where it belongs: on getting better.
Practice Areas
The injury cases we handle.
We represent injured people and their families — and only injured people and their families.
Commercial Trucking Accidents
Collisions involving 18-wheelers and commercial carriers, where several parties and insurers may be involved.
Premises Liability
Injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else's property.
Slip-and-Fall Claims

Why Clients Choose Us
A boutique practice, not a case factory.
Personal attention
You work directly with the attorney handling your case, not a rotating queue of staff.
Clear communication
You'll know what's happening, what comes next, and why — without having to chase us for it.
Careful case preparation
We build the file thoroughly from the start, because a well-documented claim is a stronger claim.
Georgia and Louisiana knowledge
Two states, two sets of rules and deadlines. We handle claims in both.
Willing to keep going
We pursue the full value of a claim and are prepared to litigate when a fair resolution isn't offered.
“I built A Fortson Law Firm to give injured people the attention, information, and determined advocacy they deserve. You should never feel like a file number—especially when your health, livelihood, and future are at stake.”
Charlie A. Fortson, Esq. · Owner & Managing Attorney
How It Works
A clear path from “what now?” to resolution.
- 01
Tell Us What Happened
Share the basics in a free case review. We listen first, then explain your options in plain language.
- 02
We Investigate and Build the Claim
We gather records, preserve evidence, identify who may be responsible, and document how the injury has affected your life.
- 03
We Deal With the Insurance Companies
Adjusters call us instead of you. We handle the paperwork, the questions, and the negotiation.
- 04
We Pursue the Compensation You Deserve
We press for the full value of the claim and are prepared to file suit when that's the right step.
Every matter is evaluated individually. No result is guaranteed, and prior outcomes do not predict the outcome of any other case.
