When you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence in Atlanta, Georgia, you need more than just legal representation – you need a relentless advocate who fights for maximum compensation. John “Wink” Winkenwerder, Esq., founder and lead attorney at Wink Law, brings years of experience as an Atlanta personal injury lawyer, combining his competitive drive with insider knowledge of how insurance companies operate.
As a Georgia Rising Star recognized by Super Lawyers and Atlanta Magazine for four consecutive years, John has built his reputation on delivering results for injured clients throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area and across Georgia. His unique background includes years working inside defense firms representing Fortune 500 companies, giving him invaluable insight into insurance company tactics and strategies.
John has recovered millions of dollars for personal injury clients across Atlanta and Georgia, including a notable $500,000 settlement in a motor vehicle collision case. His extensive experience handling complex personal injury cases includes:
What sets John apart as an Atlanta personal injury lawyer is his unique perspective gained from representing major insurance companies and Fortune 500 corporations. This insider experience allows him to anticipate defense strategies and build stronger cases for his injured clients. He knows exactly how insurance adjusters think – and more importantly, how to beat them at their own game.
Unlike other Atlanta personal injury lawyers who have only worked on the plaintiff’s side, John understands the defense playbook because he helped write it. This gives his clients a significant advantage in negotiations and litigation.
Unlike large personal injury law firms that pass information between case managers and paralegals in a very unorganized way, John Winkenwerder is closely connected to his team that oversees each case. When you choose Wink Law, you work directly with an Atlanta personal injury team who genuinely cares about your outcome and treats you like a person, not a case number.
You’ll have a direct phone number and email address to a team member of Wink Law who deeply cares. When you call, you’ll speak with your experienced team member – not a brand new intake specialist or a virtual assistant overseas.
John believes in keeping clients informed throughout the legal process. No legal jargon, no runaround – just clear guidance and real answers. He provides regular updates and fast, efficient service, making the complex personal injury legal process as smooth as possible for injured clients and their families.
John’s approach prioritizes your health and recovery first. He won’t rush to settle your case until you’ve reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) – the point where your injuries have healed as much as medically possible. This ensures you receive full compensation for all your medical expenses, both current and future.
John’s dedication to excellence in personal injury law has earned him recognition from his peers and the legal community:
John represents clients injured in all types of accidents throughout Atlanta and Georgia:
Under Georgia law (OCGA §9-3-33), you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Government entities may have much shorter deadlines – sometimes just weeks or months.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule (OCGA §51-12-33). If you’re found to be 50% or more at fault for the accident, you cannot recover damages. However, if you’re less than 50% at fault, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
In cases involving egregious conduct (like drunk driving), Georgia law allows for punitive damages beyond compensatory damages. These punitive awards serve to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct.
While Wink Law is rooted in the Atlanta area, John represents personal injury clients throughout Georgia. From the busy streets of downtown Atlanta to rural roads across the state, he understands local court systems, judges, and jury dynamics that can impact personal injury cases. This is one of the many benefits that make John a superior Atlanta personal injury lawyer compared to most in Georgia.
