Joshua Martin was attacked and beaten into a coma just outside the park by a group which included Six Flags employees. A jury in 2013 rendered a verdict of $35 million, with 92% of the fault apportioned to Six Flags with 2% each to four attackers.
Neff Law litigated the case for ten years. Along with co-counsel at Deitch and Rogers and Bondurant Mixson and Elmore, they succeeded in getting the $35 million verdict against Six Flags reinstated by the Supreme Court of Georgia.
