Georgia Personal Injury Laws

Georgia has personal injury laws that are designed to help injured victims recover from accidents caused by other people. It is important to note, however, that there are restrictions and requirements for victims filing a personal injury claim. Consider the following:

• Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. After the two-year expiration date, victims may be unable to take legal action.
• Often, insurance companies will attempt to settle a claim before it goes to court. Insurance policies often have limits to the amount you can recover. A skilled Atlanta personal injury lawyer can help maximize your compensation.
• It is the victim’s responsibility to prove their claim. This requires that you prove the following:
  • That the defendant had a duty of care to you. That means the person had an obligation to act in such a way as to not harm others. Drivers, for example, have a duty to drive in accordance with traffic laws.
  • That the defendant breached their duty of care. An example includes a driver hitting you from behind while texting. The driver was negligent because he or she was violating state law and it caused you harm.
  • That the breach caused your injuries. If the rear-end accident caused a neck or brain injury, then the defendant’s breach of their duty of care caused your injuries.
  • That the breach caused you “damages.” Damages refer to the cost of your injuries and other losses, such as property damage, medical expenses, lost time at work, or pain and suffering.

If you can prove your claims and file a lawsuit within the statute of limitations, you may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries. The best way to prove your claims is to work with an Atlanta personal injury lawyer who is familiar with this type of case. You need to work with a lawyer who understands the specialized nature of personal injury law and how to litigate personal injury claims.
