Personal Injury Practice Areas

We handle the full range of personal injury cases that arise for Atlanta and North Georgia residents. If you’re identifying where your situation fits, the practice areas below cover the most common claim types we see.

What You Can Recover in a Georgia Personal Injury Case

One of the first questions injured Georgians ask is what a personal injury claim can actually produce for them. The answer depends on the facts of your case, but the primary categories of compensable damages are consistent across most claims.

Most personal injury claims in Georgia can recover past and future medical expenses, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. In cases involving egregiously negligent or intentional conduct, including drunk driving, Georgia law permits punitive damages under O.C.G.A. 51-12-5.1, generally capped at $250,000 with exceptions that apply in DUI cases. Wrongful death claims can additionally seek compensation for the full value of the decedent’s life as well as estate expenses such as medical bills and funeral costs.

Georgia Filing Deadlines & the Comparative Negligence Rule

Georgia’s standard statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury under O.C.G.A. 9-3-33. That window sounds long, but it moves quickly once you account for the time needed to gather evidence, document damages, and build a complete claim.

Government Entity Claims & Shorter Deadlines

Claims against government entities face tighter deadlines. A city requires ante litem notice within six months under O.C.G.A. 36-33-5, and a county requires notice within 12 months under O.C.G.A. 36-11-1. Both deadlines fall well inside the general two-year window, so early action matters even more when a government entity is involved.

How Georgia’s Comparative Negligence Rule Affects Your Claim

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule under O.C.G.A. 51-12-33. A plaintiff found 50% or more at fault recovers nothing. A plaintiff found less than 50% at fault recovers a reduced award proportional to their share of fault. Insurance adjusters frequently try to push a victim’s share of fault above 50% to eliminate or reduce payment. Prompt legal counsel can be one of the most effective defenses against that strategy. Waiting to contact an attorney can allow critical evidence, including accident scene conditions, vehicle data, and surveillance footage, to be lost or overwritten. We work to have our clients’ claims filed correctly and within applicable deadlines.
