Deadlines and Legal Framework
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33): you can still recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault, though your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured victims to reduce payouts — we push back with evidence, not assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in {location}?
+In Georgia you typically have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.
What damages can I recover after a car accident?
+You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, future medical costs, and loss of earning capacity.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
+It's best to let your attorney handle communication with the other party's insurer. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and what you say early can be used against you later.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
+Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may apply. Georgia requires UM/UIM coverage unless you specifically reject it in writing.
How much does a car accident lawyer cost?
+We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing up front, and nothing at all unless we win your case.
