Georgia Car Accident Laws That Affect Your Case

Statute of Limitations

Under Georgia law, most car accident injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim.

Modified Comparative Negligence

Georgia follows a 50% bar rule. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you are less than 50% at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often try to shift blame—our attorneys push back with evidence.

Mandatory Insurance Minimums

Georgia drivers are only required to carry:

• $25,000 per person for bodily injury
• $50,000 per accident for bodily injury
• $25,000 for property damage

These limits are often insufficient. We pursue additional coverage, including uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims, to maximize recovery.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Kennesaw, GA
