Case Results

When it matters most, our record speaks.

These are real settlements and verdicts obtained for Georgia families. Past results don't guarantee future outcomes — but they demonstrate what's possible when an insurance company meets a firm that won't back down.

Tractor-Trailer Collision · I-285
$14,750,000

Client suffered catastrophic spinal injuries when a commercial freight carrier ran a red light at highway speed. We defeated the trucking company's liability experts and secured this verdict after trial.

Wrongful Death · Medical Negligence
$8,200,000

A Fulton County family lost their father when a hospital failed to diagnose a treatable condition. We held the system accountable — and won the state's largest medical malpractice verdict that year.

Workplace Injury · Construction
$6,400,000

A construction worker fell from an unsecured scaffold on a Midtown Atlanta project. The general contractor's insurer offered $180,000. We tried the case and the jury returned 35 times that amount.

Car Accident · Drunk Driver
$3,900,000

Our client was struck head-on on Peachtree Road by a drunk driver with prior DUI convictions. We pursued both compensatory and punitive damages — and won every category.

Insurance Bad Faith · Denied Claim
$2,850,000

After a major insurer wrongfully denied our client's legitimate injury claim and delayed payment for years, we filed a bad faith action. The insurer settled two weeks before trial.

Slip & Fall · Commercial Property
$1,600,000

A grocery chain's failure to address a known flooring hazard left our client with a fractured hip. We documented the company's negligence history and recovered full compensation plus future care costs.

Car accident scene Atlanta highway
Car & Truck Accidents

Georgia roadways are among the most dangerous in the Southeast. Whether it's a fender-bender on 400 or a catastrophic 18-wheeler collision on I-75, we hold negligent drivers and carriers fully accountable.

Family grief wrongful death
Wrongful Death

No settlement returns what a family has lost. But justice matters — and so does financial security. We pursue every avenue of recovery for families who've lost someone to another's negligence or recklessness.

Workplace Injuries

Workers' comp often pays pennies on the dollar. If a third party's negligence contributed to your workplace injury, you may be entitled to far more. We identify every available recovery for hurt Georgia workers.

Hospital medical malpractice
Medical Malpractice

When a doctor, nurse, or hospital system's negligence causes serious harm, the cover-up begins quickly. Our legal team works with leading medical experts to cut through the institutional noise and expose what really happened.

Wet floor slip and fall hazard
Slip & Fall Claims

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail — wet floors, broken steps, inadequate lighting — and you're hurt as a result, Georgia premises liability law is on your side. We know how to prove it.

Insurance Bad Faith

Insurers profit by underpaying claims. When a carrier unreasonably delays, denies, or misrepresents your policy, Georgia law allows us to pursue not just the claim amount — but additional damages for bad faith conduct itself.

About the Firm

Built for the fights other firms walk away from.

James Mercer and Diana Hall founded this firm in 1999 with a single conviction: injured Georgians deserve the same quality of legal representation that corporations routinely receive. For 25 years, we've honored that conviction by taking on the cases that require real trial experience — not just negotiation skill.

The insurance industry employs sophisticated legal teams whose job is to pay as little as possible. We level that playing field — with board-certified trial lawyers, nationally recognized expert networks, and the institutional willingness to take cases all the way through a Georgia jury verdict if that's what it takes.

Client Voices

890 Reviews. One Standard.

★★★★★

"I was injured on a construction site and my employer's workers' comp offer would have covered maybe three months of bills. The team at Mercer & Hall identified a third-party liability case I didn't even know I had. They changed my life."

Darnell W. client

Workplace Injury · Dekalb County

"We lost our mother due to a doctor's negligence at Grady. The hospital's lawyers were aggressive and dismissive. James Mercer went to trial and didn't blink. The jury gave us everything we asked for. Our mother deserved that."

Keisha L. client

Wrongful Death · Fulton County

"State Farm denied my claim and stopped returning my calls. Diana Hall filed suit within a week. The bad faith case alone recovered more than my original claim was worth. These attorneys understand how this system actually works."

Most cases settle — but we prepare every file as if it's going to a Georgia jury. When insurers know we'll actually try the case, they settle fairly. When they don't, we win in court.
