The Cook Law Group, a personal injury firm with locations in North and Middle Georgia, filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of attorney Shane Lazenby against personal injury firm Cambre & Associates in the State Court of Gwinnett County on Wednesday.

The suit alleges Cambre & Associates is engaging in case running, what Cook Law Group founder Matt Cook and other personal injury lawyers describe as an illegal practice wherein personal injury firms solicit car-crash victims before their police reports become publicly available.
