Frequently Asked Questions
How is a catastrophic injury case different from other injury claims?
The stakes are higher — both financially and medically. These cases require expert testimony, long-term care planning, and deeper investigation to show the full cost of the injury over a lifetime.
Can I still file a claim if I’ll never fully recover?
Yes — and that’s exactly why you should. Your compensation should reflect what this injury will cost over the rest of your life.
What if my loved one can’t speak or make decisions due to their injury?
We can work with a spouse, parent, child, or legal guardian to bring the claim. These situations are complex — but you don’t have to go through it alone.
How long do we have to file a catastrophic injury claim in Georgia?
Most personal injury claims in Georgia have a two-year statute of limitations — but there may be exceptions based on the situation or responsible party. The earlier we start, the stronger your case will be.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
We don’t charge anything upfront. We only get paid if we win or settle your case.
Why It Matters
Insurance companies don’t hand over fair compensation in cases like these — even when the damage is clear. They push back, downplay the injury, and delay as long as possible.
