FAQs

What should I do after an accident to protect my personal injury claim?

Seek medical attention immediately, document the scene with photos and witness statements, file a police report if applicable, and avoid discussing the case with the insurance company before consulting an attorney.

How does Georgia’s comparative negligence law affect my case?

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to file a claim under your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, if you have it. A lawyer can help explore all available compensation options.

What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?

Insurance companies often offer low initial settlements to minimize payouts. A lawyer can review the offer, calculate the full extent of your damages, and negotiate a higher settlement to ensure you receive fair compensation.

What types of benefits am I entitled to under workers' compensation in Georgia?

You may be entitled to:

Medical benefits for necessary treatment
Wage loss benefits if you are unable to work
Permanent partial disability benefits if you suffer long-term impairment
Temporary total disability benefits if you are completely unable to work for a period of time
Death benefits for the family if the injury results in death

Can I sue my employer if I am injured at work in Georgia?

In most cases, you cannot sue your employer directly for a workplace injury if you are receiving workers’ compensation benefits. However, if a third party (someone other than your employer) is responsible for your injury, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against them. A workers’ compensation attorney can help evaluate your case.
