About our Georgia practice
Georgia is a fault state: the driver who caused the crash and their insurer pay for the harm. Because Georgia caps recovery at the 50% fault threshold, insurers invest heavily in shifting blame onto injured people. Establishing fault percentages early, with physical evidence rather than adjuster opinion, decides most Georgia case values.
Georgia claims at a glance
- Filing deadline
- Two years from the date of the crash for personal injury and wrongful death claims (O.C.G.A. 9-3-33). Property damage claims get four years. Claims against a city, county, or the state carry ante litem notice deadlines as short as six months.
- Fault rule
- Modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar (O.C.G.A. 51-12-33). You can recover as long as you are less than 50% at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of the blame.
- Minimum coverage
- $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident bodily injury and $25,000 property damage. Georgia does not require uninsured motorist coverage, but insurers must offer it in writing.

MCA Answers
Georgia questions, answered by attorneys licensed here
Each answer below was written for Georgia claims and reviewed and approved by a Georgia-licensed attorney before it was published.
- How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Georgia?In most Georgia car accident cases you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, and four years for property damage. Claims against a city, county or state agency require written notice far sooner — in some cases within six months — and other exceptions can change these deadlines.
- Is Georgia an at-fault state for car accidents?Yes. Georgia is an at-fault (tort) state, which means the driver who caused the crash — and that driver's liability insurer — pays for the resulting injuries and damage. There is no no-fault or personal injury protection system in Georgia.
- Can I still recover money if I was partly at fault in Georgia?Yes, as long as you are found less than 50% responsible. Georgia uses modified comparative negligence: your recovery is generally reduced by your percentage of fault, and at 50% or more it is generally barred entirely.
- What if the other driver had no insurance in Georgia?If the at-fault driver is uninsured or carries too little coverage, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may apply, depending on your policy. Georgia generally allows drivers to purchase add-on UM that stacks on top of the at-fault driver's limits, which can be the difference between a token payout and a real recovery.
- Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance adjuster?You are generally not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company, and in MCA's experience doing so early — before the full extent of your injuries is known — more often hurts a claim than helps it.
- Who pays my medical bills after a Georgia car accident?Georgia has no no-fault coverage, so your bills are generally paid as you go by medical payments coverage, health insurance, or a provider treating on a lien — and the at-fault driver's insurer typically reimburses those costs at the end, as part of a single settlement.
- What is my Georgia car accident case worth?Case value in Georgia comes down to liability strength, the severity and permanence of the injury, total medical expense and lost income, and the insurance coverage actually available. In MCA's experience, any value estimate offered before the medical records are reviewed is unreliable.
- How long does a Georgia car accident settlement take?A straightforward Georgia claim with completed treatment often resolves in three to nine months. Cases involving surgery, disputed fault or a lawsuit commonly take a year or more, because in MCA's experience settling before the full medical picture is known usually undervalues a claim.
