Important: Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique. These results are not necessarily representative of results obtained by the firm. Every case must be evaluated on its own merits.
You pay nothing unless we win. We work on contingency, which means our fee comes from your settlement or verdict. We advance all costs for your case, including expert witnesses, medical records, and court fees. If we don’t get you money, you don’t owe us anything.
Georgia law gives you 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. For wrongful death cases, you have 2 years from the date of death. But waiting hurts your case. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget details. The insurance company starts building its defense immediately.
Georgia uses modified comparative fault. You can still recover compensation if you’re less than 50% at fault. Your recovery gets reduced by your percentage of fault. So if you’re 20% at fault for a $100,000 case, you could still recover $80,000. Our attorneys know how to minimize your fault percentage and maximize your recovery.
Georgia law allows recovery for economic damages like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. You can also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life. If someone acted with intentional misconduct or gross negligence, you might get punitive damages too.
Every case differs. Simple cases with clear liability might settle in a few months. Complex cases requiring extensive medical treatment or disputed liability could take 1 to 2 years. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your specific situation. Georgia’s 2-year statute of limitations gives us time to build your strongest case.
Insurance companies deny valid claims hoping you’ll give up. Georgia law requires insurers to act in good faith. When they don’t, we can pursue bad faith claims for additional damages. Our trial experience means insurance companies take us seriously. They know we’ll go to court if necessary.
Kenneth Nugent has been a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 1980. We belong to the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, Atlanta Bar Association, Atlanta Trial Lawyers Association, and American Bar Association. Our Google Reviews average 4.5 stars. Elite Litigators rates us 4.3 stars with 80% exceptional client reviews. We’ve handled over 15,000 motor vehicle accident cases alone.
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.
Georgia’s 2-year deadline won’t wait. Evidence is disappearing. The insurance company is already working against you.

Answer:
The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies significantly based on multiple factors. While some cases settle within months, others take a year or more. Understanding what influences this timeline helps set realistic expectations.
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:
Retaining and coordinating expert witnesses adds time but strengthens your case.
If we can’t reach fair settlement, preparing for trial involves:
