Bayuk Pratt

Bayuk Pratt is the only plaintiffs personal injury law firm in Georgia founded by two former partners from AmLaw 20 BigLaw firms. This unique pedigree means that we provide our clients an elite and "best in class" level of legal representation not available from other injury firms. We are experts in personal injury, wrongful death, and product defect cases, and we have successfully recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for the injured families we represent. We have strong relationships with other lawyers and law firms who refer cases to our office, and we use our experience and expertise to unlock the highest value possible for our clients and referring lawyers. That is why most of our new clients are referrals from happy former clients or referring law firms with whom we have worked in the past.

Why is Bayuk Pratt's Unique BigLaw Experience Important?

Product defects: We formerly represented some of the largest and most powerful corporations in the world (in industries as varied as pharmaceutical, automotive, tobacco, chemical, oil and gas, and more) in their most serious product liability cases, and we won. We know the secrets and defenses of Corporate America. Now, we use that unique knowledge and experience to build the strongest cases for people and families harmed by defective products against the responsible corporations. We know the science, have relationships with the best expert witnesses, and understand this complex area of the law. This leads to winning results. It also leads to safer products for Americans.

Catastrophic injury: We specialize in personal injury cases involving serious and debilitating injuries. Our firm has expertise in these complex areas of medicine, and we know how to marry the medicine and law in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury (including paraplegia and quadriplegia), and other life altering injury cases. It is critical that a personal injury attorney have both medical and legal expertise to prosecute these cases correctly.

Wrongful death: The loss of a loved one -- a parent, child, or spouse -- is devastating beyond measure. Nothing can undo such a loss. We spend time in our clients' homes, with their families, learning who a lost love one was as a human being in the context of their real life. We know how to paint a picture of this life using a combination of compassion, empathy, story-tellers, and technology so that defendants, their insurers, their lawyers, and -- most importantly -- judges and juries understand the true value of a wrongful death case.

Trucking and Tractor-Trailer Crashes: We were formerly national core counsel for the largest transportation company in the world. Consequently, we know how to build and win large trucking crash injury cases better than anyone. We understand the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, and know industry standards and practices. This experience allows us to identify violations of regulations and standards of care that enhance the value of our client's cases, and our results allow us to change industry through lawsuits to make our roads safer for everyone.

Whistleblower cases: When an employee of a hospital system, or government contractor, becomes aware of non-public fraud on the United States government (for example, over-billing or claims for government payment based on false representations), that employee is entitled to a significant recovery if they blow the whistle on that fraud. We represent whistleblowers. Our background as former defense counsel for companies accused of such fraud gives us unique insight into how to present these cases to the government and the court.

Class actions: In today's world, consumers stand little chance against large companies who overcharge them at every opportunity. Many companies violate their own terms and conditions or contracts with customers in schemes to overcharge their own customers in small increments. We are experts in filing class actions on behalf of people who have been overcharged by companies in violations of those terms and conditions.

What has Bayuk Pratt Accomplished for Clients?

Winning Results: We have been trial counsel in cases resulting in multi-billion dollar and multi-million dollar jury verdicts for our clients. We have defeated the largest and most powerful defense law firms in the world. When a case is so large and so important that a corporate defendant has hired the very best defense teams to shut it down, we are the plaintiffs personal injury and wrongful death law firm who can stand up to them and win. Our track record proves it. (For example, we have obtained results of $2.065 billion, $71,560,000, $56,300,000, $50,000,000, $26,000,000, $7,000,000, $6,250,000, $6,000,000, $5,000,000, and many more.)

Strength, Knowledge, and Compassion: We are also compassionate and caring. We have lifelong relationships with our clients. We not only want to win our clients' cases, we want to guide and help our clients and their families through tragedy, lift the weight of difficult decisions and challenges off their shoulders, and lead them to a better place in their lives. Our greatest advocates are our former clients. We can direct any potential client interested in Bayuk Pratt to former clients who can speak to our personal involvement in their lives, our availability and sensitivity, and our confidence, knowledge, and guidance through a horrible tragedy to a brighter place.

Authoritative: We regularly teach continuing education courses for our colleagues in our areas of expertise, we are published writers across several different disciplines including product liability law, trial tactics, and serious personal injury and wrongful death law. And we have been recognized as leaders by independent organizations in our field (for example, Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, Martindale-Hubbell AV Rating, etc.). We takes these honors and responsibilities seriously, and spend time passing these skills and ethics to the next generation of lawyers whenever we can (for example, we teach the local high school competition trial team).
