In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions, and it’s crucial to start the legal process as soon as possible. Contact Blevins & Hong, P.C. immediately to ensure you don’t miss any critical deadlines.

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. This means you have two years to file a lawsuit, or you may lose your right to seek compensation. However, there are exceptions:

  • For medical malpractice cases, while the general limit is still two years, there’s a five-year statute of repose from the date of the negligent act.
  • Cases against government entities often have shorter notice requirements, sometimes as little as 6 months.
  • For minors, the statute may be tolled until they reach the age of 18.
  • In cases where the injury wasn’t immediately discoverable, the “discovery rule” may apply, potentially extending the deadline.

It’s crucial to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible after an injury. At Blevins & Hong, P.C., we can evaluate your case and ensure all deadlines are met. Don’t risk losing your right to compensation – call us at (678) 354-2290 for a free consultation.

  1. You may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:
  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life In some cases, punitive damages may also be available. Our attorneys will work to maximize your compensation based on the specifics of your case.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, and our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. This ensures our interests are aligned with yours and allows you to seek justice without financial risk.

Take these steps to protect your health and legal rights:

  1. Seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor
  2. Call the police and file a report
  3. Document the scene with photos and videos
  4. Gather contact information from witnesses
  5. Don’t admit fault or discuss the incident with insurance adjusters
  6. Contact Blevins & Hong, P.C. at (678) 354-2290 for legal guidance

The duration of a personal injury case can vary widely depending on its complexity, the severity of injuries, and whether it settles or goes to trial. Some cases may resolve in a few months, while others can take a year or more. We strive to resolve cases efficiently while ensuring you receive fair compensation.

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you were less than 50% at fault, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our experienced attorneys can help evaluate your case and work to minimize any impact of shared fault.

While most personal injury cases settle out of court, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This approach often leads to better settlement offers. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, our experienced litigators are fully prepared to advocate for you in court.

Our experienced attorneys will:

  • Investigate your accident thoroughly
  • Gather and preserve crucial evidence
  • Handle all communications with insurance companies
  • Consult with medical experts to understand the full extent of your injuries
