Lonnie Law LLC is a personal injury firm dedicated to providing thoughtful, thorough, and personalized representation to accident victims throughout Forest Park and Clayton County. Attorney Lonnie Duong works directly with clients from our Atlanta office, including consultations by phone or at locations convenient to you in Clayton County. We are licensed by the State Bar of Georgia and serve the Forest Park community with the same care we bring to every client relationship. Our office is located at 2987 Clairmont Rd NE, Suite 140, Atlanta, GA 30329.
Forest Park sits just 12 miles south of downtown Atlanta in Clayton County — and its position makes it one of the busiest injury corridors in the state. Interstate 75 cuts directly through the city, carrying a heavy volume of commercial trucks between Atlanta and points south. The Atlanta State Farmers Market, one of the largest in the southeastern United States, generates constant truck traffic along Forest Parkway and surrounding roads. To the west, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — the busiest airport in the world — draws rideshare drivers, shuttle vans, and taxis through Forest Park neighborhoods around the clock.
When an accident happens here, the claims that follow can be complicated. Commercial trucks may involve multiple parties — the driver, a carrier, a loading company. Rideshare accidents near the airport layer on tiered insurance coverage. Pedestrian crashes on Forest Parkway reflect real infrastructure gaps. Lonnie Law LLC works with Forest Park clients to understand what happened, who may bear responsibility, and what options Georgia law may make available. We serve Forest Park from our Atlanta office, and we are ready to discuss your situation.
Forest Park’s geography creates a distinct set of injury risks — from heavy commercial truck traffic on I-75 to airport-adjacent rideshare collisions and pedestrian vulnerability on roads that were built for freight, not foot traffic.
Interstate 75 passes directly through Forest Park, with exits at Forest Parkway (Exit 233), Mt. Zion Blvd (Exit 235), and Jonesboro Road (Exit 237). This stretch carries a high volume of tractor-trailers and commercial carriers serving the Atlanta State Farmers Market and the Fort Gillem logistics hub. Crashes here can involve multiple parties, complex carrier liability questions, and evidence that may need to be preserved quickly.
Forest Park is the closest residential city to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — the busiest airport in the United States. As a result, rideshare drivers, shuttle vans, and taxi operators move through Forest Park neighborhoods continuously. Accidents involving these vehicles can involve layered insurance coverage that depends on the driver's status at the time of the crash, and the claims process can be more involved than a standard two-car collision.
Forest Parkway and Tara Boulevard are high-traffic roads in Forest Park where pedestrian infrastructure can be limited in certain stretches. Residents who are walking near these corridors face real exposure when drivers fail to yield, speed through intersections, or become distracted. Pedestrian injury claims require thorough documentation of the scene, the road conditions, and the vehicle's path.
Forest Park has a significant number of multi-family residential properties — apartment complexes where property conditions like poor lighting, broken stairways, inadequate security, and unmarked hazards can contribute to serious injuries. When an injury occurs on someone else's property because of a condition the owner knew about or should have known about, Georgia law may provide a path to recovery. These situations are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The Atlanta State Farmers Market on Forest Parkway is one of the largest wholesale produce markets in the southeastern United States, drawing commercial trucks, delivery vehicles, and buyers around the clock. The nearby Fort Gillem area — now home to distribution centers for Amazon, Kroger, and other large operations — adds further commercial vehicle activity to the Forest Parkway and I-75 corridor. Injuries in or near these areas can involve commercial carriers with their own legal teams and insurers.
Impaired driving collisions — including DUI crashes — occur throughout Forest Park and Clayton County, particularly along Forest Parkway, Jonesboro Road, and Old Dixie Highway. When a driver is under the influence at the time of a crash, that fact can affect both the nature of the claim and the potential avenues for recovery under Georgia law. Each situation is evaluated on its own facts.
The growth of distribution and warehousing operations around the former Fort Gillem base has brought a significant increase in delivery truck and last-mile courier traffic throughout Forest Park. When a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorist is struck by a delivery or freight vehicle operating near these facilities, the injury claim may involve the driver, the carrier, and potentially a third-party logistics company — each with its own insurance coverage.
From minor fender-benders to serious highway collisions, we handle all types of motor vehicle claims on I-285, I-75, and throughout the Atlanta metro.
We advocate for the rights of motorcyclists, who are often unfairly blamed for accidents caused by inattentive drivers.
We hold negligent trucking companies and drivers accountable for the catastrophic injuries they cause, investigating federal violations and safety records.
We handle cases involving injuries sustained on dangerous property, including negligent security and inadequate maintenance claims.

We navigate the complex insurance issues specific to Uber and Lyft accidents to ensure maximum compensation for your injuries.

We help victims of slip and fall accidents recover compensation for injuries caused by wet floors, uneven surfaces, and other hazards.
We provide compassionate legal support for families who have lost a loved one due to negligence, pursuing full compensation under Georgia law.
In Atlanta, dog bites are common in crowded parks, multifamily housing, and dense urban streets where dogs regularly encounter strangers.
Taking timely steps after an accident in Forest Park can help protect your ability to document what happened and understand your options under Georgia law.
If possible, move yourself and your vehicle to a safe area away from traffic — whether you are on I-75 near Forest Parkway, on Jonesboro Road, on Tara Boulevard, or on any other Forest Park or Clayton County road. Call 911 so that Clayton County emergency services can respond. When the responding officer arrives, ask for their name, badge number, and the incident or case number. That report can be one of the most important pieces of documentation connected to your situation.
Even if you feel okay at the scene, some injuries may not become apparent until hours or days later. Many people in Forest Park find it helpful to be evaluated promptly. The closest trauma resources include Southern Regional Medical Center in Riverdale, Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, and Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta for more serious injuries. A timely medical evaluation creates a record connecting your symptoms to the accident.
If it is safe to do so, photograph or video the scene — vehicle positions, skid marks, traffic signals, and road conditions on roads such as Forest Parkway, Jonesboro Road, Tara Boulevard, or I-75 access routes. Nearby landmarks like the Atlanta State Farmers Market, Starr Park, or the Forest Park Civic Center can help pinpoint an exact location, which may be useful later for obtaining traffic camera footage or identifying witnesses. Collect names and contact information for anyone who saw what happened.
When the other party’s insurance company contacts you, many people find it helpful to limit what they say until they have had a chance to speak with an attorney. Providing basic contact information and a claim number is generally sufficient for an initial exchange. Statements made to insurance adjusters can affect your claim, and an attorney can help you understand how to handle those conversations.
Many people in Forest Park and Clayton County find it helpful to speak with an attorney before making major decisions about their situation. Contacting Lonnie Law LLC for a free consultation can give you a clearer picture of the process, your options under Georgia law, and what steps may be available to you. Speaking with us does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Consider keeping a written or digital log of how your injuries are affecting your daily life in Forest Park — whether that means difficulty commuting to the airport or warehouse jobs many residents hold, managing responsibilities at home, or caring for family members. Save medical bills, prescription records, receipts, and any correspondence from insurance companies. These documents can be meaningful throughout the claims process.

If you have been injured in an accident in Forest Park, Clayton County, or a neighboring community, you do not have to navigate the insurance process on your own. Contact Lonnie Law LLC today for a free, no-obligation consultation. We serve Forest Park clients from our Atlanta office and are available by phone or at a location convenient to you. Let us explain your options under Georgia law and what the process may look like for your situation.
Georgia law generally imposes a two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims, under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. This means a lawsuit typically must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. Certain circumstances — including claims involving government entities or minors — may affect this deadline. Speaking with an attorney promptly may help preserve your options.
The kinds of cases we see in the Forest Park area reflect the city's geography. Commercial truck crashes on I-75 and near the Atlanta State Farmers Market are common, as is rideshare and shuttle activity near Hartsfield-Jackson. Pedestrian accidents occur on Forest Parkway and Tara Boulevard. Premises liability situations arise in apartment complexes and warehouse-adjacent areas. Each of these case types involves its own legal framework, and each is evaluated based on its specific facts.
Having an attorney review a settlement offer before you accept it is something many injury victims find valuable. Initial offers from insurance companies often reflect the insurer's interests rather than the full scope of what may be recoverable under Georgia law. An attorney can evaluate the offer against your documented losses and help you understand whether it accounts for your medical expenses, lost income, and other impacts. Speaking with an attorney before accepting does not obligate you to hire one.
Personal injury cases involving Forest Park residents or accidents occurring in Forest Park are generally filed in Clayton County State Court or Clayton County Superior Court, located at 9151 Tara Blvd, Jonesboro, GA 30236. In some circumstances — such as cases meeting federal diversity jurisdiction thresholds — a matter may be heard in the Northern District of Georgia federal court in Atlanta. The appropriate venue depends on the specific facts of the case.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence standard under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. Under this framework, a person may be able to recover damages even if they share some responsibility for an accident — provided their share of fault is less than 50%. If fault is allocated, any recovery may be reduced by the claimant's percentage of responsibility. An attorney can help you understand how this standard may apply to the specific facts of your situation.
Lonnie Law LLC handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Attorney fees are typically calculated as a percentage of any financial recovery. You would generally not owe attorney fees if there is no recovery in your case. We are happy to explain how this works in detail during your free initial consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
If the other driver left the scene, reporting the incident to Clayton County law enforcement as promptly as possible helps create a documented record. Gathering any available evidence — photos of the scene, witness contact information, nearby camera locations — may also be useful. Uninsured motorist coverage under your own policy is one avenue that Georgia law makes available in hit-and-run situations. An attorney can help you understand what options may apply to your situation.
Lonnie Law LLC does not have an office in Forest Park. Our office is located at 2987 Clairmont Rd NE, Suite 140, Atlanta, GA 30329 — approximately 22 miles north of Forest Park. We serve Forest Park and Clayton County clients through phone consultations and, where needed, meetings at locations convenient to you in the area. Many of our Forest Park clients handle the entire process by phone and email. If you prefer to meet in person, we will work with you to find a practical arrangement.
