Guide
How Georgia injury claims work
Filing deadline
Most Georgia personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Product and construction defect claims can face extra time limits, so earlier is safer.
Modified comparative fault
You can recover damages if you are less than 50% at fault, but the award is reduced by your share of fault. At 50% or more, you recover nothing.
Claims against a city
A claim against a Georgia city needs written ante litem notice within six months of the incident. Counties and the State generally allow 12 months, and each has its own delivery rules.
Tort reform (SB 68)
For injuries on or after April 21, 2025, juries can hear what was actually paid for medical care, not just billed amounts, and seat belt use can be raised in car crash cases.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Most personal injury lawsuits in Georgia must be filed within two years of the injury under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Claims against a city, county or the State need written notice much sooner, often within six or 12 months, so speak with a lawyer early.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes, if you are less than 50% at fault. Georgia uses modified comparative fault, so your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, and you recover nothing at 50% or more.
How much does an Atlanta personal injury lawyer cost?
All three firms on this page offer free consultations, and injury firms in Georgia commonly work on contingency, meaning the fee is a percentage of any recovery and nothing is owed up front. Ask each firm for its written fee agreement and how case costs are handled.
What changed with Georgia’s 2025 tort reform?
Senate Bill 68, signed April 21, 2025, lets juries hear what was actually paid for medical care rather than only billed amounts, allows seat belt evidence in car crash cases and limits how lawyers suggest pain-and-suffering figures. The evidence changes apply to injuries on or after April 21, 2025.
Do most Atlanta injury cases go to trial?
Most personal injury claims settle without a trial. Firms that prepare cases as if they will go to a jury often argue that preparation leads to better settlement offers, and a trial remains an option when an insurer will not pay fair value.
Which court hears an Atlanta injury lawsuit?
Many injury suits are filed in the State Court or Superior Court of the county where the defendant lives or does business. In Atlanta that is often Fulton County, while crashes on the Cobb side of the city may land in Cobb County courts.

Tips for an Atlanta injury claim
- Get checked out the same day. Gaps between the injury and your first treatment are a common reason insurers dispute a claim.
- Don’t give a recorded statement first. Talk to a lawyer before speaking with the other driver’s insurer about how the injury happened.
- Find out who owns the road or property. If a city vehicle, sidewalk or road is involved, the six-month city notice clock may already be running.
- Keep every bill and receipt. Since 2025, juries can see what was actually paid for care, so clean records of payments matter.
- Stay off social media about the case. Photos and posts are routinely pulled into injury claims and used to argue injuries are minor.
