Car Accident Claims in Georgia

Georgia roads see thousands of serious accidents each year. If another driver caused your crash, you are entitled to pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain, and other losses. Georgia law gives you clear rights — but insurance companies will work to minimize your claim. Allen Legal is here to fight back on your behalf.

How Georgia Car Accident Claims Work

Comparative Fault in Georgia

Georgia follows a modified comparative fault system. Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33), you can recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. If you share partial fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurers routinely try to shift blame — an experienced attorney helps ensure you are not unfairly penalized.

Filing Deadline in Georgia

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). This is a strict deadline — missing it can permanently bar your claim. Contact Allen Legal as soon as possible after your accident.

Damages Available in Georgia Car Accident Cases

Medical expenses — past and future

Insurance Requirements and Issues in Georgia

Georgia requires minimum liability coverage, but minimums are rarely enough to cover serious injuries. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage may be available under your own policy. We investigate all potential sources of compensation, including the at-fault driver, their employer if they were working, and UM/UIM policies.
