What Are Our Clients Saying?

Upon my first enrollment through the firm being new to my case, I endured reassurance through self doubt, consistent communication, informative advice , uplifting encouragement, customer/client satisfaction, followed by case completion. Even through the timely challenge's encountered with the process I received professionalism, educational mentorship, suggestions of rational decisions to my case due to it being very difficult from the other insurer. This firm has done what was asked plus more for my case. I totally recommend to any inquiry that inquires. Upon my dismissal of the case I did endure time sensitive paperwork from the other insurer without acknowledgement but also being followed with the firm by correspondence and correction due to them . Following after case being closed a conclusion and informative discussion call was held for the completion needed for records .For my whole experience even while being challenging, still successful. This firm couldn’t have been more great!

Rochelle

When a young member of my staff was in an accident that totaled her car, I referred her to Tshai and helped her understand the process that she was embarking on. Tshai was the consummate professional who kept my colleague informed, made sure she made her medical appointments and followed their expert medical advice on a path to healing. Tshai's expertise is beyond question and her attention to detail precise. Her settlement was very fair and needless to say, her financial remuneration was very much appreciated and help my staff member immensely. I will continue to recommend my friends, co-workers and family to Tshai, and should I ever need her services, she will unquestionably be the one I will call.

Working with Tshai's Law office was such a delightful experience from start to finish!

Overall all I highly recommend the Law Office of Tshai Budhi Henry, thank me later!

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:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a personal injury claim?

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.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

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.

What should I do after an accident?

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.

Will I have to go to court?

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.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

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.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

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.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

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.

How long does a personal injury case take?

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.

What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?

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.
