No Fee Unless We Win
In Georgia, negligence is the foundation of a personal injury claim. Negligence means a person or company failed to act with reasonable care — and that failure caused your injury.
Three things must be true to have a claim:
The question is: are you getting what you’re actually owed?
Here is something insurance adjusters know and hope you don’t: the sooner you settle, the less it costs them.
In Georgia, you are not required to accept any settlement offer. You have the right to negotiate — and the right to an attorney.
Georgia personal injury law recognizes two main categories of compensation — called damages. Understanding both matters when evaluating what your case is worth.
The costs you can document
The harm that's harder to measure
In rare cases, Georgia courts award punitive damages as punishment for egregious or intentional conduct. A drunk driver who causes serious injury, for example, may face punitive damages on top of compensatory damages.
Georgia law note: Under O.C.G.A. §51-12-5.1, punitive damages in most personal injury cases are capped at $250,000. Exceptions exist for intentional harm, product liability, and cases involving substances consumed to the point of impairment.
Georgia law gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is set by O.C.G.A. §9-3-33.
Don’t wait. Evidence disappears. Witnesses move. Insurance companies use delays against you.
Georgia follows a modified comparative fault system under O.C.G.A. §51-12-33. Here’s what that means for you:
Example: You are found 20% at fault for an accident. Your total damages are $100,000. Under Georgia's comparative fault rule, you recover $80,000.
Insurance adjusters use this rule aggressively to reduce payouts. Having a lawyer protects you from having fault unfairly assigned to you.
Georgia requires all drivers to carry at least:
These minimums are often not enough to cover serious injuries. Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can make up the difference — and pursuing it is something TED Law handles for Atlanta clients regularly.
You tell us what happened. We listen — without pressure, without judgment, and without charge. We'll give you an honest assessment of your case and explain your options.
We move fast to preserve evidence. That means gathering police reports, medical records, surveillance footage, photos, and witness statements before they disappear. In truck accident cases, we may also seek black box data and driver logs.
Your health comes first. If needed, we can help connect you with medical providers. We do not rush to put a dollar value on your case until you have reached Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) — the point at which your doctors have determined your condition has stabilized. Settling before MMI means you may miss future medical costs.
Once we understand the full scope of your damages, we send a demand letter to the at-fault party's insurance company. We negotiate aggressively. Insurance companies know which attorneys will go to trial — and which ones won't. We will.
If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we file suit in Fulton County Superior Court or State Court and take your case to trial. We build every case from day one as if it's going to a jury.
Whether your case resolves through settlement or a court verdict, you receive your compensation. Our fee is deducted from that recovery. You pay nothing out of pocket.
TED Law is a boutique personal injury firm — which means something important to you as a client. Your case is not handed to a paralegal. You have direct access to your attorney.
We practice personal injury law exclusively. We do not dabble in divorces, contracts, or criminal defense. This focus means our attorneys understand personal injury claims at a depth that generalist firms simply cannot match.
