  Damages You May Be Entitled To  

If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you deserve compensation. The Millar Law Firm has a proven track record of helping clients recover all damages allowed under Georgia law. Depending on the nature of your accident, you may be able to recover: 

  • Medical Expenses (Past and Future): Covering everything from emergency treatment and surgeries to ongoing rehabilitation and future care needs. Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-7, you can recover for all related medical costs. 
  • Lost Wages and Diminished Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent you from working or affect your future ability to earn, you're entitled to recover these losses. This includes current lost income and projected future losses (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-7). 
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life. Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-4) allows for these non-economic damages, with no cap in most injury cases. 
  • Property Damage: For repairs or replacement of your vehicle or other damaged property. This can also include diminished value—the loss in your car's resale value even after repairs—and loss of use, such as rental car costs (O.C.G.A. §§ 51-12-4, 33-4-7). 
  • Emotional Distress: For the psychological impact of the accident and your injuries. 
  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If injuries prevent you from engaging in hobbies and activities you once enjoyed. 
  • Punitive Damages: In cases involving willful misconduct like drunk or reckless driving (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1), these damages punish egregious behavior and deter future misconduct. While often capped at $250,000, there's no cap for DUI-related crashes. 

You are entitled to both special damages (specific monetary value) and general damages (no precise dollar amount). We work to maximize your recovery by building a powerful, evidence-backed case.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Stone Mountain Personal Injury  

How does Georgia decide fault in personal injury cases?  

Georgia is an “at-fault” state. This means that the driver at fault for the accident pays for all damages in an accident. Each driver files a claim with the other driver’s insurance company. The insurers determination of fault and issue settlements accordingly. 

What compensation can I get for a Georgia personal injury claim?  

After an accident, you can file a claim for economic damages (medical costs and lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional trauma). In particularly egregious cases you may be able to claim punitive damages. 

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?  

If the other driver does not have insurance, you need uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. UM/UIM coverage is offered by your insurance company when you buy car insurance. If you don’t have this at the time of the accident, there may be other ways to recover damages from the at-fault driver. 

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia?  

Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Your attorney can tell you if there are things that can extend this time. You have four years after the accident to file a property damage claim. If you miss the statute of limitations, you may not be able to file a claim, so you should contact an attorney as soon as possible.
