Georgia Car Accident Laws You Should Know
Minimum Liability Insurance Requirements
Georgia law generally requires drivers to carry minimum auto liability insurance of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage (25/50/25 coverage). These minimum limits may not cover every loss after a serious collision. Understanding the available insurance coverage can help you evaluate your options after a car accident. Our attorneys can explain how insurance coverage and potential compensation may apply to your case.
Comparative Negligence Rules
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you share responsibility for a car accident, your potential compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of fault. Generally, you cannot recover damages if your fault is equal to or greater than the other party’s fault. Our attorneys can review the circumstances of your accident and explain how fault may affect your claim.

Atlanta Car Accident FAQs
Check for injuries and call 911, move to safety if possible, exchange information with the other driver, photograph the accident scene and vehicles, and seek medical attention even if you feel okay because some injuries may not be immediately obvious.
It is generally best to speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. An insurance adjuster may use your statements when evaluating or limiting your claim.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may recover compensation if your share of fault is less than the other party’s, but your compensation may be reduced according to your percentage of fault. If your fault is 50% or greater, you generally cannot recover damages. An attorney can explain how this rule may apply to your case.
In Georgia, the general deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident is two years from when the claim accrues. However, exceptions may apply depending on the circumstances. Speaking with an attorney promptly can help you understand the deadline that applies to your case.
Many car accident claims are resolved through negotiation, but our attorneys prepare each case carefully and can pursue litigation when necessary to seek fair compensation.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay attorney fees upfront and our fee is generally collected only if we recover compensation for you.
