Amircani Law announced today that founder Maha Amircani has been selected as a Georgia Super Lawyers honoree for the fourth consecutive year, spanning 2023 through 2026. The recognition, achieved by fewer than 5 percent of licensed Georgia attorneys annually, comes as the firm provides guidance to Atlanta personal injury victims navigating significant legal changes under Georgia Senate Bill 68.
The Atlanta personal injury lawyer designation reflects peer evaluation and professional achievement in the personal injury field. Since founding Amircani Law in 2013, Maha Amircani has recovered more than $25 million for Georgia personal injury victims across car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall claims, dog bites, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death cases throughout the Metro Atlanta area.
Georgia Senate Bill 68, signed April 21, 2025, introduced sweeping changes that extend beyond vehicle accidents to affect premises liability, slip and fall, and negligent security cases. The law's retroactive bifurcation provision applies immediately to all pending and future cases regardless of when the injury occurred, fundamentally altering how these cases proceed to trial.
Under the bifurcation provision, juries in slip and fall or premises liability cases now decide fault before hearing any evidence about the victim's injuries, medical bills, or suffering. For Atlanta slip and fall and premises liability victims whose cases involve more than $150,000 in damages, defendants can request bifurcation before trial, requiring plaintiffs to build liability cases strong enough to win without the emotional weight of injury evidence.
"The retroactive nature of Senate Bill 68's bifurcation rule means Atlanta residents injured in slip and fall incidents before April 21, 2025, now face a trial structure that didn't exist when their injuries occurred," said Maha Amircani, Founder of Amircani Law. "Our four consecutive Super Lawyers selections reflect our firm's evidence-driven approach to liability preparation, which has become essential in bifurcated personal injury trials where closing argument rhetoric cannot substitute for methodical case building."
The legislation also replaced Georgia's prior negligent security standard entirely. The previous "totality of circumstances" test from Georgia CVS Pharmacy v. Carmichael was eliminated. Property owners can now only be held liable for third-party criminal acts if they had specific knowledge of an imminent threat or prior substantially similar crimes on the property.
Additionally, Senate Bill 68 shortened the voluntary dismissal window for Georgia personal injury cases from "before the first witness is sworn" to 60 days after the defendant files an answer, compressing the timeline for Atlanta personal injury victims to evaluate their legal position before becoming locked into litigation.
These structural changes require Atlanta residents pursuing premises liability, slip and fall, and negligent security claims to adapt their litigation strategies significantly. The Amircani Atlanta personal injury lawyer team has adjusted its approach to address these new requirements while maintaining its commitment to securing fair compensation for injured clients.
