FAQs

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Georgia?

After ensuring your safety, call 911 to report the accident and seek medical attention, even if you don’t feel injured right away. Document the scene with photos, collect witness information, and exchange details with the other driver. It’s also important to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and begin building your case.
Georgia’s statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of your accident or injury to file a claim. However, workers’ compensation claims have different deadlines, often requiring notice to your employer within 30 days of the injury. Acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved and strengthens your case.
Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In cases involving severe negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded.
Under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Workers’ compensation typically covers medical treatment, wage replacement, rehabilitation, and disability benefits. In some cases, if a third party caused your injury, you may also be eligible for additional compensation outside the workers’ comp system.
