Different facts, same three questions. Who is responsible under Georgia law; what has the injury actually cost, now and for the rest of the client’s life; and what will an insurer pay before a jury is asked. The work is in the second question — it is the one insurers are best at minimising and clients are least equipped to document alone.
The two rules that shape almost every answer are the two-year filing deadline (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33) and Georgia's modified comparative-negligence bar at 50 percent (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33).

Georgia gives most injury claims two years from the date of injury (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), and a claim against a city, county or state agency can require written notice in as little as six months. If a deadline passes, the claim is gone no matter how strong it was.
