Question 1

How much does it cost to get matched with a personal injury lawyer in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. Submitting your case through our network is completely free, and every attorney in our network works on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay absolutely no fees unless they recover compensation for you. Your case review is free, and your attorney advances all costs of investigating and building your case.

Question 2

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death claims, the statute of limitations is also two years from the date of death. However, there are exceptions that can shorten or extend this deadline.

Question 3

What compensation can I recover in a Georgia personal injury case?

Accepted Answer

In Georgia, personal injury victims may recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical care, lost earning capacity), non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life), and in some cases, punitive damages designed to punish especially reckless behavior.

Question 4

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Ensure safety, call 911, seek medical attention, document the scene with photos, exchange insurance information, get witness contact details, and submit your case to our network before speaking with insurance companies. We'll match you with the right Georgia attorney.

Question 5

What if I was partially at fault for my accident in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33). You can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
