What you may need to know next
The questions Woodstock clients ask most, answered with Georgia law and authoritative sources.
- 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.
