Norcross is a Gwinnett County city in metro Atlanta’s northeastern corridor, situated at the intersection of I-85 and Jimmy Carter Boulevard. The city’s industrial parks, dense apartment corridors along Buford Highway, and high truck traffic on Beaver Ruin Road create significant crash risk across its commercial and residential zones. Buford Highway in particular — one of Georgia’s most dangerous roads — runs directly through the heart of Norcross. If you were hurt in a Norcross accident, act quickly to protect your rights.
