ATLANTA, GA, September 14, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bethany Schneider, founder of Atlanta-based Schneider Injury Law, has been recognized for her accomplishments as a Georgia trial lawyer, personal injury law firm founder, and advocate for victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death.
With more than 15 years of litigation experience and more than 40 trials, Attorney Schneider has built her career representing clients in complex, high-stakes cases. Today, her Atlanta personal injury practice focuses on catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims involving medical malpractice, commercial vehicle and trucking collisions, rideshare sexual assault and behavioral hospital sexual abuse, and defective products.
Attorney Schneider founded Schneider Injury Law in Atlanta in 2018 after nearly nine years at international law firm King & Spalding, where she defended major corporations in high-stakes product liability litigation. She participated in 24 multimillion-dollar trials during her tenure, gaining extensive courtroom experience that she now brings to representing injured plaintiffs and their families.
Since moving to the plaintiffs' side of the courtroom, Attorney Schneider has secured significant verdicts and settlements for injured clients, including a $7 million product liability verdict in 2024, a $5.5 million traumatic brain injury verdict with $1.05 in attorney's fees, a $3 million medical malpractice settlement, a $3 million sexual assault settlement, and multiple seven-figure results in serious injury cases.
Schneider Injury Law is a boutique catastrophic injury practice representing clients throughout Georgia. The firm's all-women team is intentionally small, allowing Attorney Schneider and her staff to provide highly individualized representation in a select number of serious cases. Its lioness symbol reflects the philosophy behind the firm's motto: "Compassionate Counselor. Tough Advocate."
Attorney Schneider's practice is particularly focused on cases involving life-changing injuries and vulnerable victims. Her work includes catastrophic medical malpractice and wrongful death cases, commercial trucking and vehicle collisions, sexual assaults involving businesses and institutions, and product liability litigation.
She has represented survivors of sexual assault and abuse and is currently focused on investigating claims involving sexual abuse and patient-on-patient assaults within pediatric behavioral health facilities. Through this work, Attorney Schneider seeks both accountability for individual victims and greater attention to systemic safety failures that can place vulnerable patients at risk.
Her understanding of complex injury cases is supplemented by specialized education in traumatic brain injury. Attorney Schneider became a Certified Brain Injury Specialist through the Brain Injury Association of America in 2021, strengthening her ability to understand and communicate the medical, cognitive and personal consequences of brain injuries.
Attorney Schneider earned her Juris Doctor with honors from The University of Texas School of Law in 2009, where she participated in mock trial and was recognized for her advocacy skills. She graduated from the University of Georgia in 2005 with highest honors, earning degrees in broadcast journalism and political science and membership in Phi Beta Kappa.
Her professional recognition includes repeated selections by Super Lawyers, including recognition earlier in her career as a Rising Star. She has also been recognized among Georgia's 40 Under 40 trial lawyers and has held leadership roles within the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, including service on its Executive Committee.
Attorney Schneider is also committed to supporting women within the legal profession. Through Schneider Injury Law, she created the Lioness of Justice Awards, an initiative honoring and empowering women in Georgia's legal community, and has provided internship and mentorship opportunities for aspiring legal professionals.
Her philosophy as a lawyer is rooted in a combination of personal compassion and intensive trial preparation. Ms. Schneider credits the rigorous training she received while defending major corporations with teaching her how sophisticated defendants, insurers and their lawyers evaluate and defend high-value claims.
That experience now informs how she approaches cases for plaintiffs.
"When someone has suffered a catastrophic injury or lost someone they love, they need a lawyer who understands that this isn't simply a case file — it has changed their entire life," Attorney Schneider said. "Our job is to understand that loss, prepare the case at the highest level and be willing to take it all the way to a jury when necessary."
Looking ahead, Attorney Schneider intends to continue building Schneider Injury Law as a highly selective Atlanta trial firm for catastrophic cases. Her focus remains on representing individuals and families facing the most serious consequences of medical negligence, unsafe businesses and institutions, commercial vehicle collisions, defective products, sexual assault and other preventable misconduct.
For Attorney Schneider, the measure of the firm's success extends beyond the size of a verdict or settlement. It is the ability to give individuals facing powerful corporations, institutions and insurance companies an advocate capable of meeting those defendants on equal footing — and, when necessary, in the courtroom.
