Who Can File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia?
Generally speaking, anyone who has been injured due to negligence, malpractice, or default may file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia. If you were partly at fault for the incident that caused your injuries, you may still file a claim as long as you were less than 50% to blame.
In most cases, to successfully bring a personal injury claim in Georgia, you must prove that:
- You suffered an injury that led to measurable damages (economic or non-economic)
- The defendant owed you a duty of care
- The defendant breached the duty of care by acting negligently, wrongfully, or by default
- The defendant’s conduct was the proximate cause of your injury
- You were not at fault, or you were less than 50% at fault for the injury-causing incident
