Q.
What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Georgia?

Q.
Who Can Be Held Legally Liable for My Injuries?
A.
One or more parties may be legally responsible for your injuries. In Georgia, an injured victim typically needs to prove that their accident was caused by the defendant’s negligence in order to hold them liable for the accident. There are some limited exceptions. For example, defective product claims fall under a strict liability standard. Still, in most personal injury claims, you need to prove that the defendant’s careless, reckless, or otherwise unreasonably dangerous conduct caused your accident. Successful personal injury claims require evidence. A thorough investigation is a must. CONTINUE READING
Q.
How Much Compensation Can I Recover through a Georgia Personal Injury Claim?
A.
The value of your Atlanta personal injury case will depend on several factors, including your ability to prove fault and the extent of your damages. In Georgia, injured victims can hold the at-fault party legally responsible for out-of-pocket and intangible damages. As defendants and insurers try to settle claims for less even when liability is clear, it is imperative your damages are well-documented. CONTINUE READING
