What Are Our Clients Saying?

Your Firm for Serious Injuries and Wrongful Death

Summit Legal Team represents people and families whose lives have been turned upside down by serious injuries and wrongful death. We understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these injuries take. We handle the legal process, including gathering evidence, building your claim, and dealing with insurance companies, so that you can focus on healing and rebuilding. Our clients count on us for our compassion and clear guidance, as well as our unwavering commitment to achieving justice and fair compensation. Whether through negotiations or in the courtroom, we fight to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
We focus on serious injury and wrongful death cases caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. We represent individuals and their families throughout Metro Atlanta and across Georgia. Our team also handles catastrophic injury and toxic mold exposure cases in New York.

Practice Areas

We proudly represent individuals and families across Georgia and New York who have suffered serious, life-altering injuries due to the negligence of others. Our firm is dedicated to handling complex and catastrophic injury cases, including but not limited to:

Car Accidents

A car accident can change your life in an instant, leaving you with painful injuries, mounting medical bills, and time away from work. We represent individuals injured in car crashes throughout Metro Atlanta and across Georgia, gathering evidence, establishing liability, and dealing directly with the insurance companies. We pursue compensation for your medical care, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses.

Slip and Falls

Property owners and occupiers have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail to repair or adequately warn about dangerous conditions, and you are injured as a result, you deserve justice and compensation. Whether you were hurt in a grocery store, apartment complex, or parking lot, we work to hold negligent parties accountable and pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.

Catastrophic accidents

Catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other long-term disabilities, can affect every aspect of your life. The toll on your independence and livelihood can be substantial. We advocate for individuals with life-altering injuries across Metro Atlanta, throughout Georgia, and in New York. We prepare these cases with meticulous care, working with experts to strengthen your claim and fight for the resources you need to rebuild.

Truck Accidents

Accidents with 18-wheelers, big rigs, and other commercial trucks often cause catastrophic or fatal injuries. Because these cases typically involve state and federal safety regulations, multiple liable parties, and aggressive insurance companies, they demand legal precision and skill. Tshai Budhi ESQ., representing the Summit Legal Team, has significant training and success negotiating with and litigating against powerful trucking companies and their insurers to secure the compensation her clients deserve.

Pedestrian accidents

Pedestrian accidents often cause catastrophic or fatal injuries because people on foot have no real protection from the impact of a vehicle. We represent injured pedestrians throughout Metro Atlanta and across Georgia, investigating what happened, preserving critical evidence, and dealing directly with the insurance companies. We push back when insurers try to shift blame onto you and pursue the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.

Wrongful Death

When a loved one's life is cut short by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, the loss is overwhelming. Summit Legal Team represents families in wrongful death cases arising from fatal car crashes, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and falls, and other catastrophic incidents. Attorney Tshai Budhi, representing the Summit Legal Team, works to hold every responsible party accountable and pursue the justice and financial compensation your family deserves under Georgia law.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in Georgia or New York, you do not have to navigate the aftermath alone. Schedule a free, confidential consultation to explore your potential legal options.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you were injured due to another party’s negligence and suffered medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, you may have a valid personal injury claim. Even if you are unsure who was at fault or how serious your injuries are, it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Every case is unique. The value of a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, future treatment needs, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your life. We carefully evaluate each case to pursue full and fair compensation.
After an accident, seek medical attention immediately—even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene if possible, gather contact information from witnesses, and avoid discussing fault with insurance companies. Contacting a personal injury attorney early can help protect your claim and prevent costly mistakes.
Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement without going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and aggressively advocate for your rights.
There are strict deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, for filing personal injury claims. These deadlines vary by state and by the type of case. Failing to file on time can permanently bar your claim, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront fees. Our firm only gets paid if we recover compensation for you. This allows you to pursue justice without worrying about out-of-pocket legal costs.
In many cases, you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault. Laws vary by state, but partial responsibility does not automatically prevent you from recovering damages. An attorney can explain how fault laws apply to your specific situation.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the claim settles or goes to trial. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take longer. Our goal is to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while maximizing your compensation.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other related damages. In certain cases, compensation may also be available for permanent disability or wrongful death.
