Car accident claims in Georgia
The basics that generally apply, in plain language.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule with a 50% bar, meaning a person found 50% or more responsible for an accident generally cannot recover damages. Most personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years of the date of injury. These general rules apply to many car accident claims.
This is general information only and not legal advice. An attorney can review the specific facts of your case and advise you on your options.
