As we look back on 2024, Beasley Allen Law Firm’s Atlanta Office stands out with an impressive record of achievements in personal injury and products cases, including a rollover settlement that is believed to be the largest in Georgia history for a single automobile accident.

The Atlanta team achieved over $219 million in verdicts and settlements. This impressive sum includes a 9-figure settlement and multiple 8-figure settlements in trucking, product liability, and premises liability cases. Additionally, the team secured numerous 7-figure settlements in medical malpractice, commercial vehicle, and premises liability cases.

Record Product Liability Result – $162 Million

Our firm saw no shortage of clients who were injured or killed due to defective products in 2024. We handled cases ranging from defective seatbelts to pressure cookers. A majority of these cases included auto product claims.

In 2021, a tragic incident took place involving a van carrying 16 women who were close to graduating from a sober living facility. The van, a model known for its challenges, flipped on the interstate, leading to a fire. The vehicle was equipped with the wrong load range tires, adding to its problems. This accident resulted in seven deaths and nine serious injuries. Beasley Allen represented five wrongful death cases and four injury cases. Alan Hamilton, instrumental to the case results, represented another two wrongful death victims and four injury cases.

The team carefully chose the order and timing of settlements to strategically apply pressure on various defendants and prevent them from apportioning blame onto each other. Navigating the various diverse legal issues between the defendants, some novel, required a great deal of planning and skill.

The success of this case hinged on the exceptional dedication and skill of our legal team, led by Chris Glover. Chris credits Alyssa Baskam’s tenacity in depositions and brilliance in legal briefings, as well as Stephen Mulherin’s veteran-like performance and strategic contributions.

We’ve successfully handled hundreds of auto product liability cases. By combining our resources and knowledge, we ensure the best outcomes possible for our clients. We are thankful for our relationships with other lawyers who continue to trust us to team up and help their clients.

Trucking Cases

Beasley Allen stands up to big trucking firms and their insurance companies in and out of the courtroom. Our thorough investigations ensure we find the details needed to win your case and maximize your recovery.

In 2024, our Atlanta Office settled several commercial vehicle cases.  One case involved a stranded motorist on the roadway.  The tractor-trailer approached the motorist at dusk but made no effort to stop crashing through the stranded motorist. The case resolved for the policy limits of $6 million when it was determined that the truck driver could have avoided the stranded motorist with proper attention to the driving task. A young woman needlessly lost her life because the driver was sleepy. Driver fatigue is often the cause of tractor-trailer crashes, and this case is an example of why it is critical big truck drivers always drive rested.  In another settlement, Parker Miller and Key Lamberth obtained a policy limits $6 million settlement in a trucking death case with multiple other defendants still remaining in the case.

Going into 2025, as they have been for decades at the firm, trucking cases will remain a priority for the Atlanta Office. Currently, we have numerous major trucking cases either in suit or investigation. One of those cases involves a young child who lost his entire family to a truck wreck, while another involves the tragic death of a community leader who was killed when a logging truck’s logs struck an overpass.

Premises Liability

In the past two years, Beasley Allen Atlanta’s premises liability team, led by Parker Miller, has achieved over $200 million in verdicts and settlements, and in 2023 alone, the firm obtained over $40 million in premises liability settlements. That tradition continued into 2024, as our Atlanta office saw multiple seven-figure settlements and an eight-figure settlement related to premises liability and negligent security/sexual assault. Included in those results was a $6 million policy limits settlement for the tragic death of our client in an Atlanta apartment fire, while another multi-million-dollar settlement involved the death of our client’s mother from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Looking to 2025, the firm is litigating numerous major premises liability cases, including a horrific sexual assault case against a local Atlanta church and summer camp for a young girl, an apartment fire case resulting in the death and severe injury of our clients, an apartment carbon monoxide poisoning case, and multiple shooting cases involving poorly managed properties – including the Elleven45 mass shooting case and multiple child shooting death cases at apartment complexes.

Our Atlanta office continues to investigate serious premises liability cases across Georgia and the Southeast that involve criminal and sexual violence, fires, explosions, electrocutions, drownings, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
