Georgia Personal Injury Laws
In Georgia, personal injury law is based on the principle of negligence. If someone else's carelessness caused your injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation. However, there are several key aspects of Georgia’s personal injury laws that could impact your case:
- Statute of Limitations: You typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia. Failing to file within this timeframe may result in your case being dismissed.
- Comparative Fault Rule: Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means if you are partially at fault for your injuries, your compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages.
- Caps on Damages: While Georgia generally does not cap compensatory damages in personal injury cases, punitive damages are capped at $250,000, except in certain situations such as DUI-related accidents.

Georgia Car Accident Laws
Car accident claims in Georgia are governed by specific state laws. Understanding your rights after a crash can make a significant difference in your ability to obtain compensation.
- At-Fault Insurance State: Georgia is an at-fault state, which means the driver who caused the accident is responsible for covering damages through their insurance policy.
- Minimum Insurance Requirements: All Georgia drivers must carry minimum liability coverage of:
- $25,000 for bodily injury per person
- $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 for property damage per accident
- Reporting Requirements: You must report an accident to the police if it results in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $500.
