Accident overview in Georgia
The Atlanta metro area is a hub of transportation with several suburban community streets, hundreds of heavily traveled roadways, six significant interstates. While road systems well developed ensure convenient traveling, statistics of Georgia car accidents show they, in fact, present severe dangers.
Even the most law-abiding, conscientious pedestrian or motorist could fall victim to disastrous occurrences. The fact is that we can’t control people’s actions, and recklessness or negligence is one of the major causes of accidents in Georgia.
Throughout the state of Georgia, over 60 people are involved in an auto accident every hour. If these stats seem alarming, you might find it interesting to know that about 1000 drivers each day are involved in accidents.
Insurers can take years to settle cases, which helps them maximize their profit margins and forces plaintiffs into lower settlement amounts.
The statute of limitations
The statute of limitation for personal injury in Georgia is 2 years. This means that you must file your lawsuit within that timeframe otherwise you won’t recover for your damages.

How injuries affect Georgia plaintiffs with personal injury cases:
As Georgia’s laws do not restrict the damage cap limit for suffering and pain, a wide variety of factors might be provided to the jury or judge to obtain the highest possible sum. The considerations are as follows:
- Treatment and medical bills involved
- Limitations of movement
- Emotional and mental distress
- Physical injuries
- The shock from being involved in an accident
- Fear of extent of the injury
- Distress to loved ones
- the loss of capability to holding employment and earning wages
- Inability to participate in day-to-day activities
- Interference with daily life
Not all the considerations above are needed to recover from suffering and pain damages.
