Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

personal injury lawyer answering legal questions

Results depend on the unique facts of each case; past outcomes don’t guarantee similar results. The attorney shown is licensed in Georgia. Visit our legal team page to find an attorney licensed in your state.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Georgia?

Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury case, as set by O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Claims against government entities, however, have a shorter window of 12 months from the date of the injury, and require victims to file a notice of claim.

If an accident victim is a minor (below 18 years of age) or otherwise legally incapable, the statute of limitations may be tolled until such time that they are.

How long does a personal injury case take to settle in Georgia?

The time it takes to settle a personal injury case in Georgia is determined primarily by liability and severity of injuries. Simple cases tend to settle in under a year, sometimes taking as few as 3 months, while on the opposite end of the spectrum, cases that head to trial can take several years.

Length of medical treatment, disputes over fault, and other factors affect how long a case takes.

How much is a personal injury case worth in Georgia?

The value of a personal injury case in Georgia is not determined by a fixed average, but rather by the specific facts of the incident and the unique impact on the victim’s life. Key factors include the severity of injuries, the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, and the extent of pain and suffering.

While there are no legal caps on economic or non-economic damages in most personal injury cases , settlements can range from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to tens or hundreds of thousands for moderate to severe injuries, with severe cases or wrongful death potentially reaching over a million dollars

How are personal injury settlements calculated in Georgia?

In Georgia, personal injury settlements are calculated by combining all economic losses—such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage—with non-economic damages like pain and suffering, which are often valued using a multiplier based on injury severity. The final amount is adjusted according to Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule, which reduces your award by your percentage of fault and bars recovery entirely if you are 50% or more responsible.

The specific value ultimately depends on the strength of the evidence and the skill of the legal representation.

How is fault determined in a car accident in Georgia?

Fault in a Georgia car accident is determined by proving that another driver was negligent—meaning they violated a duty of care and caused the crash—using evidence such as police reports, witness statements, photos, and traffic laws. However, Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule allows multiple parties to share fault, meaning you can still recover compensation if you are less than 50% responsible, though your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

If you are found to be 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering any compensation at all.
