An Overview of Personal Injury Laws in Georgia
Personal injury laws in Georgia will dictate when and how you can pursue compensation for your injuries. Like many other states, Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations. There are exceptions. If your injuries aren’t immediately obvious, the two-year window begins when you discover your injury and what caused it or the date when you reasonably should have noticed it, whichever is earlier. The statute of limitations is also longer if the victim is legally disabled, which includes those who are younger than 18, intellectually disabled, or mentally ill. The statute of limitations also pauses when the victim cannot initiate their lawsuit because the defendant has fled Georgia.
Another important concept to keep in mind is Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law. This law, which is used in many other states, allows those partially at fault for an accident to recover damages for their losses. However, if the person is more than 50% at fault, they can recover nothing in court. Their damages are ultimately decreased proportionate to their share of liability. Imagine you have $100,000 in damages in a car accident claim for which you are 10% at fault. Your compensation would be decreased 10% to $90,000.
Important Evidence in Personal Injury Claims
Evidence is the cornerstone of any successful personal injury claim in Marietta. The sooner you consider your legal needs and begin collecting evidence, the stronger your case will be. Photos and video footage can be incredibly valuable, especially since the scene of an accident is generally only accessible for a short period of time before it is cleaned up. You should also keep copies of your medical bills and medical reports, and if you filed a police report, you should get a copy of that for your attorney. Your attorney may also seek out additional evidence for expert witnesses if they believe doing so will strengthen your case.
Are You Entitled to Compensation?
Wondering if you’re entitled to compensation? You’re not alone. Knowing what your options are after a personal injury can be incredibly difficult, especially if you have the other party’s insurance company calling you and pushing you to make a decision. That’s why having your own legal counsel in Marietta is so important. The team of personal injury lawyers at The Baer Law Firm can look deeper into your case, explore the variety of evidence at our disposal, and help determine the value of your case. We’ll fight aggressively to ensure that the insurance company takes your case seriously and doesn’t try to get rid of you with a lowball offer. Instead of dodging calls from insurance companies, you can focus on your physical and mental recovery when you trust us with your Marietta personal injury claim.
