What Georgia Law Says About Your Rights
Georgia operates under an at-fault insurance system. The person who caused your accident must pay for your damages. But insurance companies don’t volunteer fair payments. They have adjusters and lawyers working to minimize what they pay you. Under Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule, you can recover damages even if you’re partially at fault, as long as you’re less than 50% responsible. But the insurance company will try to shift blame to reduce what they owe. Georgia requires all drivers to carry minimum liability insurance: $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per occurrence, and $25,000 for property damage. But serious injuries often exceed these minimums. That’s why you need an attorney who knows how to find all available coverage.Recent changes to Georgia law affect how medical bills are calculated in injury cases. Since 2025, compensation must be based on amounts actually paid, not billed amounts. This makes experienced legal representation even more crucial to maximize your recovery.
Time Matters in Your Case
Georgia’s 2-year deadline won’t wait. Evidence is disappearing. The insurance company is already working against you.

2. How much is my personal injury case worth in Georgia?

4. How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia?
Georgia’s statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits. Missing these deadlines typically means you lose your right to compensation forever, regardless of how strong your case is.
Standard Personal Injury Claims:
- Two years from the date of injury for most personal injury cases (car accidents, slip and falls, etc.)
- The clock starts on the date the injury occurred, not when you discovered the full extent of your injuries
Exceptions and Special Circumstances:
- Medical Malpractice:
-
- Generally two years from the date of injury or when you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury
- However, no claim can be filed more than five years after the negligent act occurred (with limited exceptions)
- Claims Against Government Entities:
-
- Six months for ante litem notice (formal written notice of your claim)
- Must be filed with the proper government office
- After notice, you may have one year to file a lawsuit
- This applies to accidents involving city vehicles, poorly maintained roads, or injuries on government property
- Wrongful Death:
-
- Two years from the date of death
- The personal representative of the estate or surviving spouse must file the claim
- Minor Children:
-
- The statute of limitations is tolled (paused) until the child turns 18
- The two-year deadline begins on the child’s 18th birthday
- Parents can still file claims on behalf of children for medical expenses
Why Immediate Action Matters:
While you may have two years legally, waiting hurts your case:- Evidence disappears (surveillance footage is often deleted within 30-90 days)
- Witnesses become harder to locate
- Memories fade
- Insurance companies become less willing to settle
- Your attorney needs time to build a strong case
5. Will I have to go to court for my personal injury case?
The Typical Case Timeline:
- Phase 1: Investigation & Treatment (Weeks to Months)
-
- We gather evidence, interview witnesses, and obtain police reports
- You focus on medical treatment and recovery
- We document all damages and losses
- No court involvement at this stage
- Phase 2: Demand & Negotiation (1-3 Months)
-
- After you complete treatment (or reach maximum medical improvement), we send a detailed demand letter to the insurance company
- We negotiate back and forth with insurance adjusters
- Most cases settle during this phase
- Still no court involvement
- Phase 3: Filing Suit (If Necessary)
-
- If negotiations fail, we file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires
- This doesn’t mean you’re going to trial—it means formal legal proceedings begin
- Many cases settle after filing but before trial
- Phase 4: Discovery (6-12 Months)
-
- Both sides exchange information
- Depositions (formal recorded questions and answers with attorneys present)
- Document production
- Expert witnesses are identified
- Settlement negotiations continue throughout
- Phase 5: Mediation (Often Required)
-
- A neutral third party helps facilitate settlement discussions
- Happens before trial
- Many cases settle at mediation
- Phase 6: Trial (1-2 Weeks)
-
- Only 3-5% of cases actually go to trial
- You testify about your injuries, treatment, and how the accident affected your life
- Expert witnesses testify
- Jury decides liability and damages
When Trial Makes Sense:
- Insurance company refuses a fair settlement
- Disputed liability (they claim you’re at fault)
- Significant damages justify the time and risk
- Insurance company offers unreasonably low amount
Our Approach:
At Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation demonstrates to insurance companies that we’re serious and willing to fight for full compensation. Insurance adjusters know our firm’s trial reputation, which often results in better settlement offers.What You Can Expect from Us:
- Clear communication about each stage of your case
- Honest assessment of whether trial is in your best interest
- Thorough preparation if trial becomes necessary
- Support and guidance throughout the entire process
6. What if I was partially at fault for my accident? Can I still recover compensation in Georgia?
How Georgia’s Comparative Negligence Rule Works:
Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.The 50% Bar: If you’re found to be 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing. This makes it crucial to have experienced legal representation fighting to minimize any fault attributed to you.
Common Scenarios Where Fault Is Shared:
- Car Accidents:
-
- You were speeding, but the other driver ran a red light
- You changed lanes without signaling, but the other driver was texting
- You were partially in the crosswalk when struck while jaywalking
- Slip and Fall Cases:
-
- You were looking at your phone but the property owner failed to fix a dangerous condition they knew about
- You were in a restricted area but the hazard wasn’t properly marked
How Insurance Companies Use Comparative Fault:
Insurance adjusters frequently try to shift blame to injury victims to reduce payouts. Common tactics include:- Claiming you were distracted or not paying attention
- Arguing you should have seen and avoided the hazard
- Suggesting you violated traffic laws or safety rules
- Using your statements against you (this is why you should never give recorded statements without an attorney)
How We Protect You:
At Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C., we fight to minimize or eliminate any fault assigned to you by:- Thorough investigation: We gather all evidence, including surveillance footage, witness statements, accident reconstruction, and expert testimony
- Early evidence preservation: We send spoliation letters demanding the preservation of critical evidence
- Expert witnesses: We retain accident reconstructionists, engineers, and other experts who can demonstrate the other party’s primary responsibility
- Strong negotiation: We counter insurance company arguments with facts and evidence
- Trial preparation: If necessary, we present your case to a jury, which is often more sympathetic than insurance adjusters
Our Advice:
Never assume you’re too much at fault to have a case. Insurance companies want you to believe that to avoid paying claims. Contact Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. for a free case evaluation. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your case and fight to maximize your recovery at any of our 9 Georgia offices.7. How much does it cost to hire Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C.?

- Pay Only If We Win: Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict we recover for you
- No Win, No Fee: If we don’t recover compensation, you owe us nothing
What Does “Contingency Fee” Mean?
Our fee is a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. The exact percentage depends on factors such as:- Whether the case settles before or after filing a lawsuit
- The stage at which the case resolves
- The complexity of your case
Case Expenses vs. Attorney Fees:
It’s important to understand the difference:- Attorney Fees:
- Our compensation for legal services (contingency basis—only if we win)

8. What should I do if the insurance company contacts me after my accident?
Critical Rules When Insurance Companies Contact You:
- DO:
-
- Be polite and professional
- Provide only basic information (your name, address, phone number, date and location of accident)
- Tell them you’re still receiving medical treatment (if true)
- Tell them you’ll be consulting with an attorney before providing a detailed statement
- Get the adjuster’s name, phone number, and claim number
- Take notes of all conversations (date, time, what was discussed)
- DON’T:
-
- Give a recorded statement (either to the other party’s insurance or your own) without legal representation
- Sign any documents, releases, or authorizations
- Admit fault or apologize
- Discuss your injuries in detail
- Agree to a settlement, even if it seems fair
- Provide medical authorizations allowing access to all your medical records
- Downplay your injuries or say you’re “fine”
- Accept the first settlement offer
Why Insurance Companies Rush to Contact You:
Within the First 24-48 Hours:- You’re likely in pain, confused, and emotional
- You don’t know the extent of your injuries yet
- You haven’t consulted with an attorney
- You’re more likely to make statements they can use against you later
- You may accept inadequate settlements before understanding your damages
Common Insurance Company Tactics:
- 1. The Recorded Statement Trap:
- Adjusters will ask to record your statement “for the file.” They’re really looking for:
- Inconsistencies they can exploit later
- Admissions of fault
- Statements minimizing your injuries
- Anything that contradicts later medical documentation
- 2. The Quick Settlement Offer:
- Early low-ball offers before you know the full extent of injuries or costs. Once you accept and sign a release, you cannot recover additional compensation even if your injuries prove worse than initially thought.
- 3. The “We Need Information to Process Your Claim” Approach:
- While some basic information is necessary, broad medical authorizations allow them to search your entire medical history for pre-existing conditions to argue your current injuries aren’t accident-related.
- 4. The “We’re On Your Side” Routine:
- Adjusters may act friendly and concerned, but their job is to save the insurance company money, not to maximize your compensation.
- 5. Delay Tactics:
- Some insurance companies drag out the process hoping you’ll become desperate and accept a lower settlement.
- 6. Disputing Liability:
- Claiming you were at fault or partially at fault to reduce their payout under Georgia’s comparative negligence rule.

Typical Case Timeline:
- Simple Cases (3-6 Months):
-
- Minor injuries with full recovery
- Clear liability with cooperative at-fault party
- Adequate insurance coverage
- No disputed facts
- Example: Minor rear-end collision with soft tissue injuries that resolve with physical therapy
- Moderate Cases (6-12 Months):
-
- More significant injuries requiring extensive treatment
- Some disputed liability issues
- Negotiation with insurance companies
- Possibility of filing a lawsuit to pressure settlement
- Example: Car accident with broken bones requiring surgery and extended recovery
- Complex Cases (12-24+ Months):
-
- Severe or permanent injuries
- Heavily disputed liability
- Multiple parties involved
- Inadequate insurance requiring pursuit of multiple sources
- Trial necessary
- Example: Truck accident causing traumatic brain injury with long-term disability
Key Factors Affecting Timeline:
- 1. Medical Treatment Duration:
- You shouldn’t settle your case until you’ve completed treatment or reached “maximum medical improvement” (MMI)—the point where your condition is unlikely to improve further. Settling too early means:
- Unresolved medical issues aren’t compensated
- Future medical needs aren’t considered
- You may leave significant money on the table
- 2. Severity of Injuries:
-
- Minor injuries: Weeks to months of treatment
- Serious injuries: Months to over a year of treatment
- Permanent disabilities: Must evaluate long-term care needs and life-long impacts
- 3. Liability Disputes:
-
- Clear fault: Faster resolution
- Disputed fault: Requires extensive investigation, expert witnesses, and possibly trial
- Multiple at-fault parties: More complex negotiations
- 4. Insurance Company Cooperation:
-
- Reasonable insurers: May settle promptly with adequate offer
- Difficult insurers: May deny claims, make low-ball offers, or force litigation
- 5. Available Insurance Coverage:
-
- Adequate coverage: Can settle for full damages
- Insufficient coverage: May need to pursue underinsured motorist claims, asset searches, or multiple defendants
- 6. Need for Expert Witnesses:
-
- Accident reconstructionists
- Medical experts
- Economists for lost earning capacity
- Life care planners for permanent injuries
- 7. Court Scheduling:
- If a lawsuit is necessary, court dockets vary by county. Some Georgia counties have faster case processing than others. Trials may be scheduled 12-18+ months after filing.
Why Some Cases Take Longer:
- You May Need Extended Treatment:
- Rushing to settle before completing medical care almost always results in less compensation. We advise patience to ensure all injuries are properly documented and treated.
- Insurance Companies Delay:
- Tactics include requesting unnecessary documentation, taking weeks to respond to demands, and making unrealistic offers forcing further negotiation or litigation.
- Lawsuit Becomes Necessary:
- Filing suit adds time but often results in significantly better settlements. Insurance companies take cases more seriously once we demonstrate willingness to go to trial.
- Trial Preparation:
- If we can’t reach fair settlement, preparing for trial involves:
- Discovery (depositions, interrogatories, document production)
- Expert witness retention and reports
- Mediation attempts
- Trial preparation
Expediting Your Case:
While we can’t control all factors, we work efficiently by:- Starting investigation immediately upon hiring
- Maintaining regular communication with your medical providers
- Sending comprehensive demand packages promptly after treatment completion
- Responding quickly to insurance company communications
- Being prepared to file suit if negotiations stall
- Maintaining trial readiness to pressure fair settlements

- Follow all medical advice and attend all appointments
- Keep us informed of changes in your condition
