If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, Georgia law allows you to pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. Personal injury claims are designed to hold negligent parties accountable and help injured victims recover financially and physically.

 

Our firm represents individuals throughout Georgia in both serious and minor personal injury cases. We focus on results, accountability, and clear guidance from the start of your case through resolution.

 

What Is a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia?

A personal injury claim arises when an individual suffers harm because another party failed to exercise reasonable care. These claims may involve negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct and are governed by Georgia personal injury law.

 

Common personal injury cases in Georgia include:

• Car accidents

• Truck and commercial vehicle accidents

•  Motorcycle accidents

• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents

• Slip and fall and premises liability claims

• Dog bites and animal attacks

• Medical malpractice

• Defective or dangerous products

 

Personal injury claims may be resolved through settlement or, when necessary, litigation in Georgia courts.

​

What Must Be Proven in a Georgia Personal Injury Case?

Generally, to recover compensation in a Georgia personal injury claim, the injured party must establish:

​

1. The defendant owed a legal duty of care

2. The defendant breached that duty

3. The breach caused the injury

4. The injury resulted in damages

 

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning compensation may be reduced if the injured party is partially at fault. If the injured party is 50% or more responsible, recovery may be barred.

 

What Compensation Is Available?

Depending on the facts of the case, a Georgia personal injury claim may include compensation for:

 

• Medical expenses and future medical care

• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Physical impairment or disability

• Emotional distress

• Property damage

 

Each case is unique, and damages are determined by the severity of the injuries and their long-term impact.

 

What is the Georgia Personal Injury Statute of Limitations?

Most personal injury claims in Georgia must be filed within two years from the date of injury. Certain circumstances—such as claims involving minors, government entities, or delayed discovery—may alter this deadline.

 

Missing the statute of limitations can permanently prevent recovery, making early legal evaluation critical.
