Georgia Car Accident Laws
Car accident claims in Georgia operate under a fault-based system, which means the person who caused the accident is responsible for paying the damages. Victims can pursue compensation through:
- Filing a claim with their own insurance provider
- Filing a third-party claim against the at-fault driver’s insurer
- Filing a personal injury lawsuit in civil court
Georgia law requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance of:
- $25,000 for bodily injury per person
- $50,000 for bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 for property damage
Additionally, Georgia law mandates that drivers involved in an accident must stop, exchange information, and render aid. Failure to do so can result in criminal charges.
Georgia Personal Injury Laws
Understanding Georgia’s personal injury laws is essential for pursuing compensation after an accident. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For instance, if you are awarded $100,000 but found to be 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced to $80,000. If you're found to be 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering damages entirely.
Georgia also has a statute of limitations for personal injury cases. Victims generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Failing to file within this window can result in losing the right to seek compensation altogether.

-
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
If you were injured due to someone else's negligence—whether in a car crash, slip and fall, or other incident—you likely have grounds for a personal injury claim. A Woodstock personal injury lawyer can review your case and explain your legal options.
-
What should I do after a car accident in Woodstock?First, seek medical attention—even if your injuries seem minor. Next, call the police, exchange information with the other driver, and document the scene with photos. Then, contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters.
-
How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?It depends on the complexity of the case. Some claims settle in a few months, while others—especially those that go to trial—can take a year or longer. Van Sant Law works efficiently to secure a fair resolution without sacrificing your rights.
-
What if the other driver is uninsured?You may still be able to recover compensation through your uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Our team can help you explore all available options to maximize your recovery.
-
Do I have to go to court?Most personal injury claims are settled out of court. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
-
How much does it cost to hire Van Sant Law?We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we win your case.
