Why Schneider Injury Law
She spent nearly a decade defending insurers. Now she puts that knowledge to work for you.
Before she represented injured people, Bethany Schneider spent 8.5 years at King & Spalding LLP defending corporations and their insurers. She attended 24 multi-million dollar trials and served as trial counsel in 11 of them, learning from the inside exactly how the other side investigates a claim, values an injury, and decides what to pay. Most plaintiff lawyers never get that view. Today she uses it for you: anticipating the defense's next move, protecting the evidence that matters, and preparing every file as if it is going to trial. Schneider Injury Law is a boutique firm by design, with a deliberately low case count, so your call reaches Bethany and your case gets her attention.
She knows the defense playbook
8.5 years defending corporations and insurers means she can see how they will build their case before they build it.

Medical malpractice and birth injuries
When you trust a hospital or a doctor with your care, or with the birth of your child, a preventable error can change everything. These cases are rarely simple, so we build them alongside qualified medical experts who can explain what should have happened and where the care fell short. Whether it is a surgical mistake or a diagnosis that came too late, we take the time to understand the medicine and the human cost. If your family is living with a birth injury such as cerebral palsy or brain damage, we approach that conversation gently, focused on the care and support your child will need. In Georgia you generally have two years from the date of injury or death to file, so it helps to reach out early while the records and details are still fresh.
- Surgical errors and avoidable complications
- Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis
- Anesthesia errors
- Hospital and nursing negligence
- Birth injuries, including cerebral palsy and brain damage
Practice area
Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
A collision with a tractor-trailer or a delivery truck is not like an ordinary fender bender. The forces are greater, the injuries are more serious, and the company on the other side often has investigators working the scene before you have left the hospital. Commercial carriers answer to federal safety rules from the FMCSA covering driver qualification, hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and drug and alcohol testing. When those rules are ignored, the results can be devastating. We look past the driver to the fatigue, the scheduling pressure, the blind spots, and the mechanical defects that set a crash in motion. Evidence such as driver logs and maintenance records can disappear if no one acts quickly to preserve it, which is one more reason to talk with a lawyer soon after a serious wreck.
- Tractor-trailer and 18-wheeler collisions
- Delivery and commercial fleet crashes
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
- Improper maintenance and truck defects
- Preserving logs and records before they disappear
Practice area
Sexual assault and negligent security
If you were assaulted on a property that should have kept you safe, your first conversation with us is private, and you decide what happens next. Nothing moves forward without you. Bethany Schneider, a woman and a trial lawyer, handles these matters personally, and your consultation is completely confidential. These are known as negligent security cases. In plain terms, a business or property owner has a duty to take reasonable steps to protect the people they invite in. When a hotel, apartment community, parking deck, bar, or gas station ignores known dangers, such as broken locks, no lighting, or no security where it was clearly needed, they can be held responsible for the harm that follows. We handle your story with dignity and care, at the pace that is right for you.
- Hotels and short-term lodging
- Apartment and residential communities
- Sexual assault cases involving Uber and other rideshare services.
- Sexual abuse cases involving UHS and other behavioral-health facilities.
- Parking decks and garages
- Bars, restaurants, and gas stations
- A confidential review, on your timeline

Schneider Law and their team were absolutely exceptional. My case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism, and I was consistently kept informed throughout every step of the process. This is a solid, experienced firm that will aggressively advocate for your case.
There was no pressure, no rushing into an agreement, just lots of education and empathy. Every step, including medical treatment, was presented in a quick, efficient, and caring manner. Plus these are real people, with families, not some giant corporate machine.
This team is great, helped so much with my case after my sister and I were in an accident by breaking every single detail down. They were easy to reach when we had questions. They also made sure the process was as simple as possible for us.

Common questions
Answers before you reach out.
Your consultation is free, and there are no retainers and no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, which means there is no fee until we recover compensation for you. If we take your case, our fee comes as an agreed percentage of that recovery, spelled out in writing before we begin.
For many injury cases in Georgia the deadline is two years from the date of the injury, and some claims can be shorter or longer depending on the facts. Because these limits vary and can be affected by the details of your situation, the safest step is to talk with us early rather than risk running out of time.
Many cases resolve without a trial, and we work hard to reach a fair result efficiently. That said, insurers know which lawyers are truly prepared to try a case. Because Bethany prepares every file as if it will be tried, we are ready for court when it serves you, which often strengthens your position at the table.
You speak with Bethany. This is a boutique firm with a deliberately low case count, so your consultation is with the attorney handling your case, not a call center. You will always know who is working on your matter and how to reach them.
It is worth a conversation before you accept anything. Early offers are often lower than what a claim may be worth, and once you sign a release you usually cannot revisit it. We can review the offer with you at no cost so you can make an informed decision about your next step.
Yes. Your first conversation is private, and for sensitive matters such as sexual assault it stays confidential and moves only at the pace you choose. Bethany handles these cases personally. Nothing happens without you, and you remain in control of what comes next.
Sooner is better. Important evidence can fade or disappear, witnesses move on, and legal deadlines are firm. Reaching out early lets us protect what matters while you focus on healing. There is no cost and no obligation to have the conversation.
