Deadlines and Legal Framework

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent?
+Not always. Georgia's strict liability law can hold a manufacturer responsible for a defective, unreasonably dangerous product regardless of how careful they were in making it.
What if I was using the product in an unusual way?
+Foreseeable misuse is sometimes still covered, though comparative fault may reduce your recovery depending on the facts.
What if the product was recalled after my injury?
+A later recall can support your claim by helping show the product was defective, though it doesn't automatically prove your individual case.
