Atlanta AI Lawyer

AI Attorney in Atlanta

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, from apps and chatbots to health trackers and recommendation engines. While AI can be helpful, it can also put people in serious danger. If you’ve been harmed or misled by AI technology, working with an experienced Atlanta AI lawyer might be the next step you need.

At Barnes Law Group, our goal is to help you recover, seek justice, and regain control over your life. We fight for your rights so you can recover with confidence.

About Us

For more than half a century, Barnes Law Group has been dedicated to standing up for individuals and families who’ve suffered injustice. Our philosophy is simple: making it right for those wronged, and it drives everything we do. The team brings decades of experience across public service, private practice, and nonprofit work, leading to record-breaking recoveries in high-profile cases across Georgia.

Types of AI Cases We Handle

Artificial intelligence might seem like a new, fun, and helpful tool, but 56% of adults can’t tell true from false when using AI chatbots, 48% of teens say technology-driven platforms have a negative effect on their mental health, and 1 in 5 people who took investment advice from AI chatbots lost their money.

Whether it’s bad medical guidance or AI-generated content that amplifies anxiety or depression, these cases are complex, and they require a lawyer who understands both the technical and ethical issues involved. Some of the most common cases we see include:

• Medical Misguidance. AI doctors might instruct patients to stop taking critical medications or misdiagnose emergency situations.
• Consumer safety violations. AI tools can nudge users toward unsafe or fraudulent behaviors, which they then act upon.
• Criminal or risky conduct. People may perform illegal or life-threatening acts because AI convinced them to do so.
• Mental health deterioration. Platforms may recommend harmful coping mechanisms or create addictive, anxiety-inducing feedback loops. These can amplify depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation.

No matter how AI has impacted your life, Barnes Law Group is prepared to help. Our experienced team can investigate, document, and litigate these cases with precision, making sure all responsible parties are held accountable and that victims get the justice they deserve.

You Might Be Entitled to Compensation

Today, artificial intelligence touches almost every part of our lives, but when it goes wrong, the consequences can be devastating. Victims could face serious physical and mental health injury from following dangerous advice, and they could even wind up in life-threatening situations. There are also financial consequences, which is why understanding the types of compensation that might be available is important. Potential compensation includes:

• Medical expenses, including the cost for hospital care, medications, therapy, and ongoing treatment resulting from AI-related harm
• Lost income, including compensation for wages lost because of injury, mental health struggles, or disability caused by AI guidance
• Emotional and psychological harm, including damages for anxiety, depression, or trauma that resulted from following unsafe AI advice
• Loss of support or wrongful death. In cases where AI contributed to a fatal outcome, survivors may seek damages for loss of financial support, companionship, funeral expenses, and grief.
• Rehabilitation or specialized care, including funding for recovery programs, counseling, or other treatment directly tied to an AI-induced injury

Every case is unique, and the type and amount of compensation you might receive depend on the circumstances of your case. At Barnes Law Group, our experienced AI attorney team works closely with medical, mental health, and technology professionals to make sure your claim accurately reflects the full extent of your losses.

Hire an AI Lawyer: Why Local Representation Matters

We don’t just understand the law; we understand how the law is applied right here in Atlanta, which allows us to act decisively and efficiently on your behalf.

FAQs

Q: Are AI Companies Required to Warn Users About Potential Health Risks?

A: Yes, in many contexts, AI companies are required to warn users about potential health risks, especially when the AI affects someone’s health, safety, or mental well-being. Failure to provide adequate warnings could be grounds for liability under consumer protection laws or product liability principles. Proving that a company neglected this duty often requires technical analysis of the AI, documentation of user harm, and professional testimony.

Q: How Does AI’s Influence on Mental Health Apps Differ From Traditional Malpractice?

A: AI influence on mental health apps differs from traditional malpractice because the provider isn’t a licensed professional. It’s autonomous or semi-autonomous software. This creates complex legal questions around duty of care, negligence, and the foreseeability of harm. If an AI app worsens depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, you could still have recourse under product liability, consumer protection, or negligence claims.

Q: Can AI-Generated Life Advice on Social Media Platforms Be Grounds for Legal Action?

A: Yes, AI-generated life advice on social media can be grounds for legal action. If that content encourages unsafe or harmful behavior, it could even expose the platform or developer to liability if its users are harmed. Even if the advice is algorithmically created, courts could hold the company responsible for failing to prevent foreseeable risks. Documenting interactions and collecting digital evidence is critical.

Q: Are There Protections for Individuals Who Were Misled by AI in Financial Decisions?

A: Yes, there are protections for individuals who were misled by AI in financial decisions. When AI platforms provide investment, insurance, or other financial advice that leads to significant losses, users could have legal claims under consumer protection laws or negligence principles. Companies could be held responsible if their AI misrepresents outcomes or fails to disclose the risks.
