About Kenneth L. Shigley, PC

Johnson & Ward is Atlanta's oldest personal injury specialty law firm, founded in 1949 by two World War II veterans and continuing to represent individuals and families in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases throughout Atlanta and across Georgia. The firm's attorneys focus on serious cases involving car and truck collisions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, burn injury, unsafe premises, and defective products, preparing every case for trial even though most matters resolve through negotiation after full investigation. For more than seven decades, the firm has represented injured people rather than insurance companies, and its lawyers have led major legal organizations, authored leading treatises on Georgia tort law, and tried complex cases in courtrooms across the state. One firm lawyer became the first in Georgia to earn three board certifications from the National Board of Trial Advocacy and served as lead author of multiple editions of Georgia Law of Torts: Trial Preparation and Practice, a reference used by trial lawyers and judges statewide. Firm members have chaired sections of the American Association for Justice and the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and served as leaders of the State Bar of Georgia and the Atlanta Bar Association. Despite its long history, the firm has remained forward-looking: members helped pioneer electronic court filing in Georgia, were early adopters of law firm web publishing, and today use modern litigation technology including digital evidence preservation and data analysis tools. In catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, the firm works with accident reconstruction engineers, life care planners, economists, and treating physicians. The firm explains Georgia's modified comparative fault rule, under which a plaintiff who is 50 percent or less at fault may recover damages reduced by their percentage of fault, while a plaintiff 51 percent or more at fault recovers nothing, and outlines the economic, non-economic, and in rare cases punitive damages available under Georgia law.
