Injured in Georgia? We Fight for Your Maximum Compensation.

If you or a loved one was injured due to someone else's negligence in Georgia, you have the right to fair compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering. At J. Lee & Associates, our bilingual team fights aggressively to prevent insurance companies from undervaluing your case.

Georgia follows the modified comparative fault rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. This means you can recover compensation as long as your percentage of fault is less than 50%. Your recovery is reduced proportionally to your degree of responsibility. Having an attorney to protect your interests from day one is critical.

Gwinnett County and the greater Atlanta metro area are high traffic zones. I-85, I-285, and GA-400 are frequent scenes of serious accidents. Our team has specific experience with the roads and courts in this region.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after an accident in Georgia?
The statute of limitations in Georgia for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident, under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. For property damage, the deadline is 4 years under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-30. It is important to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
