Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia?
Georgia generally allows two years from the injury date, but exceptions apply for government claims and delayed injury discoveries.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes, under Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule, you may recover if 49% or less at fault, with reduced compensation.
What types of damages can I claim?
Economic losses (medical bills, lost wages), non-economic damages (pain, emotional distress), and punitive damages in cases of gross negligence.
Do you handle cases outside Macon?
We serve clients across Middle Georgia, including Milledgeville, Albany, and surrounding areas, with office locations strategically placed.
How are legal fees structured?
We work on contingency fees, meaning no payment unless we secure compensation through settlement or trial verdicts.
What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?
Avoid signing until consulting our attorneys, as early offers often undervalue long-term costs like future medical care and lost earning potential.
