"A $30 million verdict is not a $250,000 case that a jury inflated 120 times over. It is a case whose real value the insurer refused to evaluate honestly."
James R. Haug is the founding partner of Haug Barron Law Group in Sandy Springs, Georgia. He is a trial lawyer whose practice focuses on catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, trucking collisions, wrongful death and complex personal injury cases.
Haug is a graduate of the University of Georgia and Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School. Within three years of starting practice he obtained a medical malpractice verdict of more than $1 million. He later founded Haug Barron Law Group on the principle that every case is prepared as though it will go to trial and every client has direct access to their attorney.
Haug and managing partner Colin A. Barron obtained a $30 million wrongful death verdict in DeKalb County State Court in a medical malpractice case, which the firm describes as one of the ten largest in Georgia history. His other results include a $5 million trucking settlement in Gwinnett County in 2024 and a $2 million premises liability settlement.
He is a member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice Trucking Litigation Group and the Georgia Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. Haug was named to Super Lawyers in 2024 through 2026 and was a Rising Star from 2017 to 2023.
