Alpharetta has grown enormously in recent years, and with that growth has come more traffic on corridors like GA-400, Old Milton Parkway, and Windward Parkway — some of the areas where we see the most accidents in this part of north Atlanta.
If you were in a crash in Alpharetta, Virguez Law can help you understand your options, in Spanish, without having to handle the legal side alone while you physically recover.
Why Local Help Matters
Every county and roadway has its own particulars: how accidents are reported, which police departments cover each stretch, and even how quickly you can get the official report. We know the Alpharetta corridor and north Fulton County well, and we know how to gather the necessary evidence — traffic cameras, police reports, witnesses — to support your case from the start.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
No one can give you an exact figure without knowing the details of your situation. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, your current and future medical expenses, your lost income, and how much insurance coverage the responsible party has available. The only reliable way to know is with an evaluation of your specific case.
What Types of Compensation Can You Claim
You can pursue economic damages — medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repair — and non-economic damages for the pain, suffering, and impact the accident had on your life. If the accident was fatal, the family can file a wrongful death claim.
What If I’m Partly at Fault?
Georgia follows modified comparative negligence: you can claim compensation as long as your responsibility is under 50%, though the amount is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies frequently try to exaggerate the victim’s fault to pay less — which is why having legal representation from the start matters.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on contingency: we only collect fees if we secure compensation for you.

Not necessarily. We can handle much of the process by phone or video call, and coordinate in-person meetings when your case requires it.
What if the accident happened on GA-400 and involved multiple cars?
