As an injured victim in Georgia, you have specific legal rights under the law. It's crucial to understand these rights to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Key points include:
- Negligence: Proving that the responsible party failed to act with reasonable care.
- Comparative Fault: Understanding how your actions may impact the compensation you receive.
- Statute of Limitations: The time frame within which you must file a lawsuit, typically two years from the date of injury.
- Insurance Coverage: Navigating the complexities of dealing with insurance companies and policies.
Our team will guide you through each of these aspects, ensuring that you are fully informed and prepared to take action.
The Legal Process
Navigating a personal injury case can be complex, but our team is here to simplify the process for you. Here's what to expect:
- Gathering Evidence: Collecting all necessary documentation, including medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
- Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Engaging with insurers to seek a fair settlement.
- Filing a Lawsuit: If a settlement cannot be reached, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf.
- Discovery: Both sides exchange information and gather evidence.
- Trial or Settlement: If the case goes to trial, we will represent you in court; otherwise, we aim to settle the case out of court.
The duration of a personal injury case can vary, typically ranging from several months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the parties to settle.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you may have many questions about your personal injury case. Here are answers to some of the most common questions:
Q What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, gather witness information, and report the incident to the authorities. Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Q How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim.
Q What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Georgia follows a comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were less than 50% responsible.
Q How is the value of my case determined?
The value is based on factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the impact on your quality of life. A lawyer can help assess your case's worth.
Q Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court, but if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial. Your lawyer will guide you through this process.
