Georgia Personal Injury Law — What You Need to Know
Statute of Limitations — O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33
Georgia gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to recovery. Contact an Atlanta personal injury attorney as soon as possible — evidence disappears and witnesses forget.
Modified Comparative Fault — O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33
You can recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. Your recovery is reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies consistently try to inflate your fault to reduce their exposure. Your attorney’s job is to fight that assignment from day one.
