Carolyn George | Albany Personal Injury Lawyer

Recently honored as a “trailblazer” by the Albany Law School pioneering women oral history project, Carolyn B. George has been practicing law for over 40 years, always in the field of personal injury and insurance coverage. She is a tireless advocate for persons who have been injured as a result of the negligence of others, specifically, motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and dog bites. Carolyn was a partner at a prominent Capital District law firm for more than 12 years where she tried numerous cases to verdict before joining Cooper Erving and Savage LLP of counsel in 2019.

Carolyn has 30 years’ experience working on the defense side, including a total of 13 years as in-house counsel for 2 large insurance companies.
