Tyler Pritchard is a seasoned personal-injury attorney based in Columbus, Georgia, representing clients across Georgia and Alabama. Since 2015, he has helped recover compensation for people harmed in car and truck crashes, negligent-security assaults, boating incidents, nursing-home abuse, medical malpractice, product defects, and government-liability cases.
Tyler is an accomplished trial lawyer who has resolved hundreds of claims and tried cases before juries, judges, mediators, and arbitrators—then briefed appeals in state and federal courts. That courtroom experience changes the leverage: insurers can either negotiate fairly, or explain their position to a jury.
