Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Dover Law Firm is an experienced and dedicated law firm with offices in Atlanta and Alpharetta, Georgia. When the firm was started by Atlanta personal injury attorney Jeff Dover in 1991, Jeff set out to build a team of accomplished attorneys and support staff at his firm to give Georgia injury victims a fighting chance against the massive insurance companies who consistently fought even legitimate claims.

Jeff's legal team (your team) has successfully handled thousands of cases over the past two decades, including serious auto and truck accidents, complex medical malpractice cases and on-the-job injury cases. The firm has helped injured victims recover money for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. In addition, the firm has helped families cope and move on after they've lost a loved one due to a wrongful death.

The Dover Law Firm lawyers know all of the nuances of Georgia law and are not afraid to argue cases in front of a jury, as they have done countless times since 1991. Many firms are reluctant to take a case to a jury and will look to settle as quickly as they can, often resulting in a settlement offer far below what the claimant should have received. The Dover Law Firm team strives to get the maximum compensation for its clients in every case and will not hesitate to take on an insurance company in front of a jury.

The bottom line is that if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence - whether it was a fellow motorist on a highway, a medical professional you entrusted your care to, or an unsafe working condition that caused you harm - you need an experienced, proven team on your side. A team you can trust. A team that will do all it can to protect your rights, stand up for you and get you fair and full compensation.

Practice Areas Description

Our practice includes:

- Auto Accidents

About 68,300 people are injured in the 189,500 automobile accidents that occur annually in the Atlanta Metro area each year. Almost 550 are killed. At the Dover Law Firm, we understand the suffering and worry that go with automobile injuries. We are passionate about doing everything we can to hold those responsible for them accountable. We recognize that you probably know little about the process of making that happen. That’s why we explain what we’re doing every step of the way. We tell you, for example, that you may be able to get partial compensation from your own insurance company while we pursue your claim against the person who injured you.

- Failure to Diagnose Cancer

Many victims (and their family members) are unprepared for what lies ahead and, unfortunately, if your doctor failed to diagnose your cancer in a timely manner or if you happened to receive bad medical care for your cancer, your burden is that much greater. Here at the Dover Law Firm, we understand the complexities that go into bringing a failure to diagnose cancer claim or cancer misdiagnosis claim against a doctor, medical professional or medical facility, and we've been successful in helping cancer victims and their families collect money damages for injuries, pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, diminished quality of life issues and wrongful death that resulted from negligent actions.

- Medical Malpractice

Other medical errors are common. In fact, the errors are so common that the American Medical Association and other health care organizations have formed the National Patient Safety Foundation specifically to address the problem of medical mistakes. They are developing strategies to make such mistakes less common. If you or a loved one is the victim of such an error, however, the Dover Law Firm stands ready to see that you are compensated fairly for your injuries. Proving medical negligence and the extent of the harm it caused is an arduous process that few lawyers have the skill and experience to accomplish. Our staff includes a physician with a law degree to help us analyze your case and direct us to the medical professionals whose testimony can best explain the errors that caused your injuries.

- Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims require special expertise in applying these laws, but the lawyers handling them also must be familiar with more general personal injury law. For example, the plaintiff still must show that the actions of the defendant caused the victim’s death and that the victim was less than 50 percent responsible for his or her injuries. At the Dover Law Firm, we know how to present the case and win full value for the victim’s injuries and for his or her life. You can help us by consulting us promptly so that we can begin our investigation while physical evidence is still available and memories remain fresh.

- Brain Injury

At the Dover Law Firm, we’re familiar with all types of brain injuries. We know how to get behind the medical jargon and understand the true nature of the injury. Just as important, we’re adept at establishing liability when the injury is a result of someone else’s negligence, such as a driver who ran a stop sign or a physician who failed to order tests that could have resulted in prompt and effective treatment. We’re especially skilled in winning full compensation for what is often called mild traumatic brain injury—the type that doesn’t always show up clearly in CT scans or other definitive tests. Casual acquaintances might not be aware of the sometimes subtle changes in intellect and personality. Even the victim might be reluctant to acknowledge and recognize his new limitations.

- Workers' Compensation

Georgia workers’ compensation law is designed to provide medical coverage and a basic level of support for employees who are injured on the job. It grew out of oppressive working conditions as the state and country industrialized at the turn of the 20th century. Serious injuries are a different matter. The administrative hoops that an injured worker must jump through can be confusing, and the failure to negotiate them can result in the loss of benefits. At the Dover Law Firm, we’re familiar with the regulations of the Board of Workers’ Compensation. We can guide you through the maze, and, just as important, make sure that your employer complies with the regulations, just as it will insist that you do.
