Car Accident Claims in Georgia
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury in Georgia. Even seemingly minor crashes can result in serious injuries, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and long-term physical or emotional harm.
Insurance companies often move quickly to minimize payouts, placing financial pressure on injured drivers and passengers before the full extent of injuries is known.
If you were injured in a car accident in Georgia, The C. Paul Law Firm P.C. can help protect your rights, hold negligent drivers accountable, and pursue full compensation under Georgia law.

Georgia’s Fault-Based Car Accident System
Georgia follows a fault-based auto insurance system. This means:
- The at-fault driver’s insurance is responsible for damages
- Injured victims may pursue claims directly against negligent drivers
Georgia also applies a modified comparative negligence rule. An injured person may recover damages as long as they are less than 50% at fault, with compensation reduced by their percentage of responsibility.
| Recoverable Damages | Examples |
| Economic Damages | Medical bills, lost wages, future care |
| Non-Economic Damages | Pain and suffering, emotional distress |
| Property Damage | Vehicle repair or replacement |
