No fee unless you recover.
Boyd Law Firm, LLC and attorney Roy J. Boyd Jr. represent personal injury clients throughout Liberty County, Georgia, with a dedicated commitment to the Fort Stewart military community. Fort Stewart, home of the 3rd Infantry Division, is the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River. The surrounding Hinesville community depends on US-84 and US-129 for daily access, and accidents on those corridors affect thousands of active duty soldiers, dependents, veterans, and civilian employees every year. Boyd Law Firm handles the full range of serious injury claims arising from these incidents, including off-base car accidents, on-base accident claims, wrongful death, premises liability, and truck accidents on US-84.
The firm operates from Brunswick, Georgia and serves all six coastal Georgia counties: Glynn, Camden, Brantley, Liberty, Wayne, and McIntosh. For members of the Fort Stewart community, geography is never a barrier to quality representation.
When a soldier, dependent, or veteran stationed at Fort Stewart is injured in a traffic accident off post, that claim is governed by Georgia civil law, not military law or the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Off-base accidents are private civil matters, and injured service members have the same rights under Georgia tort law as any other resident or visitor.
Despite this clear legal framework, insurance companies sometimes treat military plaintiffs differently. Adjusters may assume that a service member will be transferred before litigation concludes, that medical records through military health systems will be harder to obtain, or that the claimant lacks the resources to hire private counsel. Boyd Law Firm protects those rights aggressively. Under OCGA Section 9-3-33, Georgia generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. Missing that deadline forfeits the legal right to pursue compensation, so prompt contact with an attorney is critical.
US-84 and US-129 are the primary access corridors to Fort Stewart’s main gates. The volume of traffic on those routes, combined with commercial truck traffic and drivers unfamiliar with the area, creates elevated accident risk. Boyd Law Firm has handled serious crash cases along these corridors and understands the specific conditions that contribute to injuries in this region.
Insurance companies begin building their defense immediately after a crash. Boyd Law Firm recommends contacting an attorney before providing any recorded statement to an adjuster. A free consultation costs nothing and protects your rights from the first call.
Accidents that occur on the Fort Stewart installation and involve government negligence present a different legal framework. Claims against the federal government, including those arising from negligent maintenance, unsafe conditions on base, or government vehicle accidents, may require filing under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). The FTCA is a federal statute that allows private individuals to sue the United States for certain torts committed by federal employees acting within the scope of their duties.
FTCA claims carry strict administrative deadlines that are shorter than standard Georgia statute of limitations periods. A claimant generally must present an administrative claim to the appropriate federal agency within two years of when the claim accrues. Failure to meet this deadline can permanently bar recovery. This procedural complexity is a significant reason to consult Boyd Law Firm promptly after any on-base incident involving potential government liability. An attorney can evaluate whether the FTCA applies, which agency to notify, and how to preserve the claim before any deadlines pass.
Cases handled under the FTCA can involve unique evidentiary and procedural requirements that differ from standard state court litigation. Boyd Law Firm can assess whether an on-base incident may give rise to an FTCA claim and guide injured parties through the correct administrative process from the outset. The Liberty County Superior Court handles Georgia civil matters arising from incidents in the area.
Boyd Law Firm understands the scheduling and logistical realities of military life. Deployment schedules, PCS moves, training rotations, and duty assignments can all complicate the timeline of a personal injury claim. The firm coordinates around those realities, including remote consultations and flexible communication, so that deployment or temporary duty assignment does not prevent a soldier or family member from pursuing a legitimate claim.
Trial readiness matters in every case. Insurance companies settle cases for full value when they know the opposing attorney will take the case to a jury. Roy J. Boyd Jr. secured a $8,204,000 jury verdict on May 15, 2024, which stands as the largest car wreck verdict in Glynn County history. That result reflects a firm that prepares every case as if it will go to trial, because it will if the insurer does not offer fair compensation.
Boyd Law Firm handles every personal injury case on contingency. There are no upfront fees and no out-of-pocket attorney costs. If no recovery is obtained, the client owes nothing for legal representation.

Yes. Active duty soldiers have the same right as any Georgia resident to retain private civilian counsel for personal injury claims arising from off-base accidents. Military status does not restrict a service member’s ability to hire Boyd Law Firm or any other Georgia-licensed personal injury attorney.
For on-base incidents involving government negligence, civilian attorneys can also assist with Federal Tort Claims Act administrative filings and related litigation. There is no requirement to use military legal assistance offices for civil personal injury matters.
For off-base accidents, military status generally does not change the substantive legal rights available under Georgia civil law. The same negligence standards, damages categories, and procedural rules apply. However, insurance adjusters may attempt to exploit perceived complications tied to military schedules or health system records. Boyd Law Firm protects against those tactics.
Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury under OCGA Section 9-3-33. Military service can toll, or pause, that deadline in certain circumstances. An attorney can evaluate whether any tolling provisions apply to a specific situation.
The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is a federal law that allows private individuals to sue the United States government for certain negligent acts by federal employees acting within the scope of their employment. For Fort Stewart, the FTCA may apply when an accident occurs on the installation and government negligence, such as unsafe road conditions, defective facilities, or a government vehicle operator, contributed to the injury.
FTCA claims require an administrative claim to be filed with the relevant federal agency, typically within two years of the incident. This deadline is strictly enforced. If the agency denies the claim or does not respond within six months, the claimant may then file suit in federal district court. Boyd Law Firm can assess whether an incident triggers FTCA requirements and help navigate those deadlines.
Yes. Boyd Law Firm routinely works with clients who are deployed, on temporary duty assignment, or facing PCS moves. Remote consultations, flexible communication schedules, and coordination with family members acting on a soldier’s behalf are all available. A deployment or training assignment does not need to delay the start of a claim, and in some cases early action is essential to preserve rights, particularly for on-base incidents with shorter FTCA deadlines.
For off-base accidents governed by Georgia law, the general personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under OCGA Section 9-3-33. Missing this deadline typically bars recovery entirely. Wrongful death claims carry a separate two-year period running from the date of death.
For on-base incidents involving government negligence subject to the Federal Tort Claims Act, an administrative claim must generally be filed with the federal agency within two years of accrual. Because these deadlines differ and FTCA filing requirements are strict, contacting Boyd Law Firm promptly after any Fort Stewart area incident is strongly recommended.
