Common Questions

Georgia Personal Injury FAQ

Get answers to the most common questions injury victims ask about their legal rights in Georgia.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Under Georgia's statute of limitations (O.C.G.A. ยง 9-3-33), most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. For wrongful death cases, the two-year period typically begins on the date of death. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your right to recover compensation, so it's critical to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
What is Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule?
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. ยง 51-12-33). This means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your accident โ€” but only if you were less than 50% responsible. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you can recover $80,000. If you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.
What damages can I recover in a Georgia personal injury case?
Georgia injury victims can typically recover both economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical expenses, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, scarring and disfigurement). In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available. There is no cap on compensatory damages in most Georgia personal injury cases.
Do I have to go to court for my personal injury case?
The vast majority of personal injury cases in Georgia โ€” approximately 95% โ€” are resolved through settlement negotiations without going to trial. However, having an attorney who is willing and prepared to take your case to trial is essential, because insurance companies offer larger settlements when they know your lawyer isn't afraid of the courtroom. Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. is fully prepared to litigate your case if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
How much does it cost to hire a Georgia personal injury attorney?
At Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay absolutely nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is free. There are no upfront fees, no hourly charges, and no out-of-pocket costs. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you โ€” so we only get paid when you do.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Georgia?
After a Georgia car accident, you should: (1) Call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance; (2) Seek medical treatment immediately, even if you feel fine โ€” some injuries have delayed symptoms; (3) Document the scene with photos and get witness information; (4) Exchange insurance and contact information with other drivers; (5) Do NOT admit fault or apologize; (6) Report the accident to your insurance company; and (7) Contact a Georgia personal injury attorney before giving any statements to the at-fault driver's insurance company.
How long will my Georgia personal injury case take?
The timeline varies considerably depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the insurance company cooperates. Simple cases may resolve in 3 to 6 months. More complex cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties may take 1 to 2 years or longer if litigation is required. We always recommend waiting until you have reached maximum medical improvement (MMI) before settling to ensure your full damages are known.
