Georgia Personal Injury Laws
Understanding Georgia’s personal injury laws is essential when filing a claim. Here are some key legal aspects to be aware of:
- Statute of Limitations: In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file a lawsuit within this time frame may result in losing your right to recover compensation.
- Modified Comparative Negligence: Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover damages if you were partially at fault for the accident—as long as you were less than 50% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the blame.
- Damages Cap: Georgia does not cap compensatory damages (economic or non-economic) in personal injury cases, except in specific instances such as punitive damages in medical malpractice. This allows victims to recover full compensation for their losses.
- Liability and Insurance: To succeed in a personal injury claim, you must prove the other party was negligent and that their actions caused your injuries. In many cases, the at-fault party’s insurance company will be involved in negotiations and settlements.
Compensation Available to Injured Victims
At CR Legal Team, we pursue maximum compensation for all damages resulting from your injury. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to:
- Medical Expenses: Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and future medical costs.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed at work, reduced earning capacity, or loss of future income.
- Pain and Suffering: Emotional distress, physical pain, trauma, and diminished quality of life.
- Property Damage: Repair or replacement costs for damaged property, such as your vehicle.
- Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer.
Our Atlanta personal injury lawyers work closely with medical professionals, vocational experts, and economists to calculate the full extent of your damages and ensure your claim reflects your total losses.
