Understanding Personal Injury Claims in Georgia

Under Georgia law, a personal injury claim arises when someone is injured due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. Georgia follows a fault-based system, meaning the party responsible for causing the injury is financially liable for the resulting damages.

Georgia also applies a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be less than 50% at fault, you may still recover compensation, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 50% or more at fault, recovery is barred.

Because insurance companies aggressively look for ways to shift blame, having experienced legal representation early in the process is critical.

Compensation Available in Canton Personal Injury Cases

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Our attorneys conduct a thorough evaluation of damages to ensure your claim reflects the true impact of your injury—not just immediate expenses.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Georgia

Georgia law generally requires personal injury claims to be filed within two years from the date of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Failing to act within this timeframe can permanently bar your claim.

Because evidence can disappear and witness memories fade, it’s important to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after an accident.
