Cumming is the county seat of Forsyth County, one of Georgia’s fastest-growing counties over the past two decades. GA-400, GA-20, and the Marketplace Boulevard corridor carry extraordinary traffic volumes driven by North Forsyth residential growth and Lake Lanier tourism. Forsyth County’s rapid growth has consistently outpaced infrastructure, generating serious crash conditions. If you were hurt in a Cumming accident, act now — your legal rights have a deadline.
