Boyd Law Firm, LLC and attorney Roy J. Boyd, Jr. represent injury victims on St. Simons Island, throughout Glynn County, and across the Golden Isles. St. Simons Island sits at the heart of coastal Georgia’s barrier island chain, connected to Brunswick and the mainland via the F.J. Torras Causeway. The island draws millions of visitors each year, generating a high volume of traffic on the causeway and on Frederica Road, while resort hotels, vacation rentals, and waterfront properties create significant premises liability exposure for both residents and tourists.
Boyd Law Firm handles the full range of personal injury cases that arise on the island: car accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, premises liability claims at hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals, slip and fall injuries, and wrongful death claims. Cases arising from accidents on St. Simons Island are filed in Glynn County Superior Court in Brunswick. The firm’s office at 1601 Reynolds St. is a short drive from the causeway, putting experienced trial representation close to every Golden Isles community.
On May 15, 2024, Boyd Law Firm secured an $8,204,000 jury verdict in Glynn County Superior Court, the largest car wreck verdict in Glynn County per the firm’s records. That result was achieved for a client who paid nothing out of pocket. Boyd Law Firm handles all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis: no fee unless compensation is recovered.
The F.J. Torras Causeway is one of coastal Georgia’s busiest corridors, carrying tourist traffic, commercial vehicles, cyclists, and commuters between Brunswick and St. Simons Island. Seasonal surges in vacation traffic increase collision risk, particularly at the causeway’s merge points and along the approaches to the village. Frederica Road runs the length of the island and serves as its primary north-south artery; congestion at intersections with Kings Way and Demere Road regularly contributes to rear-end and angle collisions.
St. Simons Island is also a popular cycling destination. Dedicated paths and on-road bike lanes attract cyclists year-round, but conflicts between vehicles and bicycles on Frederica Road, the causeway approach, and near the pier area can result in serious injuries. Under OCGA Section 40-6-49, drivers must exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian or cyclist, and a violation of that duty that causes injury gives rise to a negligence claim. Pedestrian accidents near the St. Simons pier, at the village crosswalks, and along the beach access points add to the volume of cases the firm handles from the island each year.
If you were injured in a car accident on the causeway or anywhere on the island, the clock on Georgia’s two-year statute of limitations starts on the date of the crash under OCGA Section 9-3-33. Review what to do after a car accident in Georgia and call Boyd Law Firm before speaking further with any insurance adjuster.
St. Simons Island hosts a significant concentration of resort hotels, boutique inns, short-term vacation rentals, and private beach properties. That density of commercial and rental hospitality creates a corresponding volume of premises liability claims. Under OCGA Section 51-3-1, a property owner who invites the public onto the premises owes a duty of ordinary care to keep those premises safe. When a hotel, resort, VRBO host, or vacation rental owner fails that duty and a guest is injured, the owner may be held liable.
Common premises liability scenarios on St. Simons Island include wet floors in resort lobbies and pool decks with no warning signs, unsafe or unsecured balconies at oceanfront properties, inadequate lighting in parking areas and stairwells, pool drain hazards and lack of proper safety equipment, and uneven walkways or pavers on resort grounds. Boyd Law Firm investigates these claims thoroughly, preserving surveillance footage, incident reports, and maintenance records before they are lost or overwritten. Visit the firm’s dedicated slip and fall and premises liability pages for a full breakdown of how Georgia law applies to these cases.
