What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law allows individuals who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions to seek financial compensation. In Georgia, proving negligence requires establishing four key elements:

1. Duty of Care – The at-fault party had a legal obligation to act responsibly to avoid causing harm.
2. Breach of Duty – The at-fault party failed to fulfill their duty of care through negligent or reckless actions.
3. Causation – The breach of duty directly caused the injury.
4. Damages – The accident victim suffered measurable losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

Our Gwinnett County personal injury lawyer has the knowledge and resources needed to build a strong case that meets these legal requirements, having pursued numerous cases to settlement and verdict since 2012 with a 100% success rate.

Recoverable Damages in a Gwinnett County Personal Injury Claim

If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages, including medical expenses covering emergency care, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and future medical needs. You may also be entitled to compensation for time missed from work due to your injury or if you wind up partially or totally disabled, unable to work in the future or earn as much as you did before the accident. Importantly Georgia personal injury law also recognizes “non-economic” compensatory damages, such as monetary relief for physical pain and suffering and emotional trauma. At Bowman Law Firm, we take care not to neglect seeking compensation for any property damage you suffered due to the accident, including vehicle damage or other personal property. Additionally, our comprehensive approach includes asking for a punitive damages award in cases involving particularly reckless or malicious conduct.

Georgia’s Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims

In Georgia, personal injury victims have a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file within this timeframe, you may lose your right to seek compensation. Certain factors can make this timeframe longer or shorter. It is crucial to act quickly and consult an experienced attorney to protect your legal rights.

Georgia’s Comparative Negligence Rule

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. If you are found partially at fault for your injury, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, your compensation will be reduced to $80,000. However, if you are found 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages. This rule makes it critical to retain experienced legal representation to maximize the value of your case and ensure all fault is fairly apportioned.
