Q: What is considered a catastrophic injury under Georgia law?
A: A catastrophic injury is a severe, long-term, or permanent condition that prevents a person from living or working as they did before the accident, such as brain injury, paralysis, or amputation.
Q: How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury lawsuit in Georgia?
A: Most claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33).
Q: Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?
A: Yes. Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law allows recovery if you are less than 50% at fault, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Q: How much does it cost to hire a Georgia catastrophic injury lawyer?
A: The Brodie Law Group works on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless we win your case.
Q: What makes catastrophic injury claims different from other personal injury cases?
A: The long-term impact, higher medical costs, and permanent nature of the injuries make these cases more complex and higher stakes.
A catastrophic injury changes everything, but you don’t have to face it alone. The Brodie Law Group fights for victims across Georgia to secure the compensation they need to move forward with dignity and security.
