Personal injury law exists to protect injured Georgians like you who have been harmed by another person’s negligent and reckless actions. To recover compensation, we must prove four elements of negligence:
- Duty of Care: The at-fault party’s legal obligation to ensure your safety and health
- Breach of Duty: Their decision to deviate from their obligations
- Causation: The breach of duty caused your injuries
- Damages: The financial, emotional, and physical losses you suffered
The law exists to protect people, people in our community. And we’re part of this community, so let our attorneys apply this law meant to protect you so you can overcome the challenges you’re facing.
We’ll prove negligence with evidence including: incident and police reports, witness statements, photos and videos, imaging and medical records, and expert testimony from accident reconstruction and medical specialists. If you were hurt, you deserve a substantial settlement that covers all your losses.

Get Fair Compensation
For Your Injuries and Losses
Georgia gives you the right to pursue compensation for losses from your injury. Your losses are generally divided into economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are the financial losses you suffered, including:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning potential
- Property damage
Non-economic damages reflect the losses in your quality of life, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
After an accident, financial recovery will not be a guessing game. Every case is different, and it’s important to seek recovery that accounts for the full spectrum of your losses, not the insurance company’s initial assessment of what you deserve.
Settlements & Verdicts That Account for All Your Losses
Each injury brings its own challenges, from medical treatment to recovery time, and every client’s story is unique. Our role is to make sure your story gets told so your claim reflects all the ways your injury affects your life.
Beyond physical pain, victims face emotional and financial stress that can take years to overcome. Our lawyers have helped clients recover from such injuries as:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Spinal cord injury and paralysis
- Broken bones and lacerations
- Severe burns
- Internal organ damage
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Emotional distress and PTSD
Personal injury claims should account for your specific losses and hardships. That’s our goal every time: to make sure you get the money you need and deserve so you can receive care for your injuries, pay your bills, and move forward.

The Statute of Limitations Expires
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, most personal injury victims in Georgia have two years from the date of their injury to file a lawsuit with either a state or superior court having jurisdiction. In some instances, exceptions may allow you more time, or as little as six months. However, failing to meet the deadline could mean losing the right to pursue compensation, regardless of how strong your case might be.

Georgia Personal Injury FAQs
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
What if the defendant doesn’t have insurance?
You may still have options, such as filing a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Sometimes, we have found coverage through an employer or other source not readily identified on a policy report, so always consult a lawyer if you have questions. A lawyer can review your case and identify all available sources of compensation.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At the Law Offices of Gary Bruce, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing up front, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
