Personal injury lawyer FAQs.
Have questions? We’ve got answers.
Do I need a personal injury lawyer for my accident case in Georgia?
Yes. If you’ve been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, then we strongly recommend that you hire a personal injury attorney. Hiring an expert lawyer, like Brad Valentine of Valentine Injury Law, will ensure that all of your legal rights are protected and that you are not taken advantage of by large insurance companies. Because we are only paid if you win, you have nothing to lose. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your compensation. As your personal injury lawyer in Georgia, Valentine Injury Law will level the playing field, handle all communications with insurance companies, and allow you to focus on recovery.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is 2 years from the date of injury. However, this timeline can vary depending on the facts of the case. Claims against government entities have significantly shorter notice deadlines. Don’t wait – contact a personal injury attorney in Georgia, like Valentine Injury Law, to preserve your rights.
Can I still recover personal injury damages in Georgia if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Yes. Under Georgia law, you can recover as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault for a motor vehicle accident and your damages total $100,000, then you would recover $80,000. A skilled personal injury attorney in Georgia, like Valentine Injury Law, will work to minimize your assigned percentage of fault.
How do uninsured motorist claims work in Georgia?
If you’re hit by an uninsured driver or in a hit-and-run accident, you may still recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. This coverage is optional in Georgia but highly recommended. A personal injury lawyer can help you navigate these claims, which sometimes involve fighting against your own insurance company to secure fair compensation.
Can I still recover damages from an accident in Georgia if it aggravated a pre-existing condition?
Yes. Under Georgia law, the ‘eggshell plaintiff’ rule holds defendants responsible for all harm they cause, even if your pre-existing condition made you more susceptible to injury. A personal injury attorney will work with medical experts to differentiate between your pre-existing condition and the new injuries or aggravation caused by the accident.
