Frequently Asked Questions
What is Georgia’s modified comparative fault rule for personal injury cases?
Georgia uses a modified comparative fault standard — an injured party can recover damages as long as they are less than 50% at fault. If a plaintiff is found 50% or more responsible, recovery is barred. Below that threshold, recovery is reduced proportionally. This rule is important for Atlanta accident victims who may have contributed in some way to their own injuries.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Georgia imposes a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims under OCGA § 9-3-33. Claims against government entities follow a shorter ante litem notice requirement. Missing the deadline eliminates the right to recover, making prompt legal consultation critical for Atlanta accident victims.
Does Humphrey & Ballard take personal injury cases on contingency?
Yes. Like most personal injury firms in Atlanta, Humphrey & Ballard represents clients on a contingency fee basis — meaning no attorney fees are owed unless and until the case is resolved in the client’s favor. The fee is a percentage of any recovery obtained, making quality legal representation accessible regardless of a client’s current financial situation.
