Buford’s Judicial & Healthcare Locations
Most Buford-area residents probably know that Buford Highway can be dangerous. The stretch of U.S. 23 and GA-13, built decades ago as a mixed-use roadway, has seen more than its share of motor vehicle accidents and pedestrian injury accidents over the years. Unfortunately, multiple pedestrians die every year on Buford Highway, particularly where the highway passes through Doraville, Brookhaven, and Chamblee. Many residents of these communities depend on MARTA’s most-used bus route, which travels Buford Highway. Unfortunately, the corridor is not pedestrian-friendly, and riders risk their lives getting to and from transit stops. It is anticipated that the Georgia Department of Transportation’s planned renovations of the intersections at Longmire Way, McElroy Road, and Oakcliff Road will result in a meaningful reduction of injury accidents.
Of course, life-altering accidents can occur anywhere in Buford. If you need to seek medical treatment following a car accident, you have several options. Two of the most convenient, high-quality hospital facilities for Buford residents are Northside Hospital Gwinnett and Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Braselton.
Northside Hospital Gwinnett, located at 1000 Medical Center Boulevard, Lawrenceville, GA, 30046, is a Level II Trauma Center. In addition to high-quality emergency services available 24/7, Northside Hospital Gwinnett specializes in trauma services, stroke services, high-risk maternity services, and cardiovascular care. This is a 388-bed hospital with more than 5,200 employees, including 1,200 physicians. From Buford, take I-985 south to I-85. Exit at Boggs Road and take University Parkway/GA-316 to Duluth Highway/GA-120. The hospital is at the southeast corner of the intersection of GA-316 and GA-120.
Another popular care option for people injured in Buford is Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Braselton. This 134-bed medical center provides emergency services, urgent care, heart and vascular services, orthopedics, cancer treatment and surgery, obstetrical care, and NICU care. NGMC Braselton is located at 1400 River Place, Braselton, GA, 30517. To get to the hospital from Buford, take Thompson Mill Road to North Puckett Road. Go north/northeast on North Puckett Road to Friendship Road (GA-347). The hospital complex will be on your left before you reach GA-311.
If you choose to pursue a legal claim for damages after an injury accident, the case will likely be heard as a civil case at the Gwinnett County Courthouse, located at 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, GA, 30046. To reach the courthouse from Buford, take GA-20 (Buford Drive) south to Lawrenceville. The courthouse is southeast of Lawrenceville Highway on Langley Drive.

FAQ
-
Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?
You could choose to settle your injury claim without engaging an attorney. However, your chances of successfully obtaining an adequate settlement for your injuries will be higher if you work with an experienced car accident lawyer or other personal injury attorney. Lawyers in this field understand the nuances of valuing personal injuries and will fight to negotiate appropriate settlements rather than accepting an insurance company’s initial offer. Insurers’ settlement offers often undervalue claims; if you accept a settlement, you will generally not be able to pursue any additional compensation, even if you incur unanticipated medical expenses later.
-
What Steps Should I Take if I Am Hurt in an Accident?
After an injury accident, you should seek medical treatment for your injuries. Be sure to document the care you received. If you can report the accident through photographic or video evidence, this can help your case too. It can also be helpful to capture the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident. When you can, talk to a personal injury lawyer who can help you understand your options for pursuing compensation.
-
How Much Will My Case Be Worth?
Without knowing the specific circumstances of the accident that led to your injuries, establishing liability for the incident, and determining the nature and extent of your direct and indirect financial losses, it is impossible to estimate what you might receive in damages. Your auto accident attorney will work closely with you to evaluate your case and provide an estimate. You may be entitled to compensation to cover your past and anticipated future medical expenses, lost wages, damaged personal property, and pain and suffering.
-
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Most Georgia personal injury lawyers handle car accidents and other injury cases on a contingency basis. You do not pay anything out-of-pocket for legal representation. In fact, your attorney only gets paid if he or she helps you obtain a settlement. Your lawyer should explain the fees at your initial consultation.
