⚠ Time-Sensitive — Georgia Law Limits Your Window to File
You have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim in Georgia — after that, the right to compensation is lost.
The Issa & Castro Law Firm brings more than 50 years of combined experience to every Marietta case. We work on a contingency basis — no win, no fee — and offer free consultations.
How a Marietta Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help Your Case
The most valuable thing a skilled attorney offers is the ability to build a case that holds negligent parties accountable while you concentrate on getting better. Personal injury law in Georgia is detailed, and insurance companies have teams devoted to paying you as little as possible. We level that field by investigating thoroughly, preserving evidence, and presenting a claim that reflects the full scope of what you have endured.
Motor vehicle crashes remain one of the most common sources of serious harm in our state. According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, Georgia recorded roughly 25,000 serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes in a single recent reporting year, along with thousands of related hospitalizations. Numbers like these reflect real families facing real hardship, and we treat each case with the individual attention it deserves.
The Range of Cases We Handle in Marietta
Personal injury covers far more than a single type of accident, and our experience spans the situations Marietta residents face most often. Because every collision carries its own facts and challenges, we tailor our approach to the specific harm you have suffered.
Below are the practice areas we regularly handle for clients throughout the area:
- Car accidents: We pursue full compensation after collisions on roads like Cobb Parkway and the South Marietta Loop through our Marietta car accident representation.
- Truck accidents: We untangle the complex liability questions that arise in commercial wrecks with focused Marietta truck accident advocacy.
- Motorcycle accidents: We protect riders from unfair bias and fight for fair recovery through our Marietta motorcycle accident services.
- Pedestrian accidents: We help those struck while walking hold drivers responsible with dedicated Marietta pedestrian accident support.
- Rideshare accidents: Uber and Lyft accidents involve overlapping insurance policies and corporate liability that require careful navigation. Our Marietta rideshare accident attorneys identify every source of coverage so nothing is left on the table.
Why Injured Marietta Residents Choose Us
Choosing the right firm can shape the entire outcome of your claim, and we believe direct attorney involvement makes a meaningful difference. When you work with us, you are not handed off to an assistant or lost in a high-volume caseload. You work with attorneys who know your story and treat your case as the priority it is.
Our team brings more than 50 years of combined attorney experience to the table, and we offer bilingual services in both English and Spanish so that every client feels understood. We also work on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you. You can review the kinds of outcomes we have secured on our settlements page and explore the full scope of our work across our practice areas.
This client-first philosophy comes straight from the leadership of attorney Mark Issa, who built this firm on the belief that injured people deserve both determined representation and genuine compassion. We carry that belief into every conversation, every negotiation, and every courtroom.

Statute of Limitations for Marietta Personal Injury Claims
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia. Wrongful death claims also carry a two-year deadline, running from the date of death rather than the date of the accident. Property damage claims carry a four-year limit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-30.
If your injury involved Cobb County government property or a City of Marietta-owned facility, earlier ante litem notice deadlines also apply. Claims against the City of Marietta require written notice within six months of the incident under O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5, and county claims within 12 months under O.C.G.A. § 36-11-1. Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33 allows recovery as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident, though your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Missing the filing deadline permanently eliminates your right to compensation, regardless of how strong the evidence is. Call our Marietta personal injury team as soon as possible after an accident so we can begin preserving evidence and building your case before critical documentation disappears.
