Top Personal Injury Law Questions and Answers
We have seen firsthand how Personal Injuries from accidents can affect the lives of our clients. Here are 5 answers to the most common questions.
1. Is a Police Report necessary for Insurance Claims?
You can file an insurance claim without a police accident report, but it might be harder to prove fault or damage. Your insurer will have to take your word. Some may not be willing to pay out the full amount you’re owed. We recommend filing a Policy Report every time.
2. How Long after a Personal Injury Accident Can You Sue for Damages?
A personal injury claim for a motor vehicle accident has two-years for the statute of limitations. That means you have up to two years to file your claim from the date of the accident in the State of Georgia. A time limit, or “statute of limitations,” applies to all injury-related personal injury cases filed in Georgia’s civil court system. The “clock” on this deadline of 2 years starts running on the date of your accident or whatever led to your injury.
3. Will I have to go to Trial to Recover Damages from the Personal Injury?
