Common Questions
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims against government entities may have shorter deadlines. Missing this deadline permanently bars your claim, so contact Overbird Law as soon as possible for a free case evaluation.
At Overbird Law, personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis -- you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we win your case. The standard contingency fee is typically 33% of the recovery. All case costs are advanced by the firm and repaid only from your settlement or verdict.
Georgia personal injury victims may recover economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). In cases involving egregious misconduct, punitive damages may also be available under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33) that reduces your compensation by your percentage of fault. If you are 20% at fault, your recovery is reduced by 20%. If you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover any compensation. This makes establishing clear liability essential to maximizing your recovery.
No. Insurance companies are motivated to settle claims quickly and cheaply. First offers are almost always significantly below the true value of your claim. Once you accept and sign a release, you cannot go back for more -- even if your injuries worsen. Contact Overbird Law for a free case evaluation before accepting any settlement offer.
