An accomplished attorney, Joseph Neal, Jr., has been acknowledged as one of the top trial lawyers of Georgia in various publications. Neal Law champions the rights of severely burned victims and has won significant awards in this area.
The burn cases the law firm has handled include a high school student who was part of a school experiment that went awry. As a result, the student’s upper torso was severely burned, including her neck, arms, chest, and breast. The school board’s attorney refused to pay beyond nominal defense costs during pre-suit settlement discussions, citing “official immunity.”
Neal Law was invited to enter the case as lead counsel based on the firm’s previous success involving governmental immunity in another fire case. Through resolute evidence gathering and legal expertise, a settlement was reached in the amount of $1.5 million. This was the largest settlement in the history of Georgia in a burn case with an immunity defense involving a principal and a public school teacher.
