What to do after a car accident in Georgia

  1. Get medical attention immediately. Even if symptoms seem minor — adrenaline masks injuries, and a 24- to 48-hour gap in care is the first thing insurers attack.
  2. Report and document. File a police or incident report. Take photos. Get witness names and contact info. Save every document.
  3. Don’t talk to the other side’s insurer. Their adjuster is paid to minimize what you receive. Politely decline recorded statements until you speak with an attorney.
  4. Get a free case review. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better evidence is preserved and the stronger the claim.

Georgia law specific to car accidents

Statute of limitations: 2 years (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of the accident. Miss the deadline and your case is barred no matter how strong it is.
  • Georgia is an at-fault state — the negligent driver’s liability insurance pays your damages.
  • Modified comparative negligence (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33): recovery is reduced by your fault percentage and barred entirely at 50% or more.
  • Minimum auto liability is $25,000/$50,000/$25,000 (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11). Most drivers carry more; uninsured motorist (UM) coverage is strongly recommended.
