We’ve litigated a wide variety of motor vehicle accidents

Personal injury law, also called tort law, holds wrongdoers accountable for the damage they inflict on others by forcing them to pay compensation for losses due to their negligence, recklessness or deliberate behavior. Our attorneys help accident victims obtain damages for a variety of injury events, such as:

Unlike other states, Georgia does not cap damages in medical malpractice or other kinds of personal injury cases. In 2010, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that damages caps violate the right to a jury trial established in the state constitution. Our firm always strives to obtain for you the highest settlement or jury award possible.

How Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law can limit your recovery

On the other hand, Georgia law can limit your recovery severely. In Georgia, a personal injury claim is subject to the state’s the comparative negligence law. Comparative negligence is used in cases where the injured party and the defendant may both have contributed to the injury event. If a court determines that an injured party’s own actions were as much as 50 percent to blame for the accident, that party is barred from recovering any compensation against the defendant. If the injured party is somewhat to blame, the recovery is reduced by the percentage the court assigns.

For example, an injured person who suffered $200,000 in compensable losses, but was 25 percent at fault, can only recover 75 percent of the damage amount, which would be $150,000. As your personal injury lawyers, we fully investigate the circumstance of your case to put forward the facts necessary to maximize your damage award.
