Do You Have A Personal Injury Case?
To establish a valid personal injury claim in Georgia, you must prove:
- The other party owed you a duty of care
- They breached that duty through negligent actions
- Their negligence directly caused your injuries
- You suffered actual damages as a result
In Georgia, being partially responsible for an accident doesn’t automatically disqualify you from receiving compensation. The law allows recovery as long as you’re found to be less than 50% at fault for the crash.
What Types Of Damages Are Available In Carrollton Personal Injury Claims?
Accident victims in Carrollton can pursue different categories of compensation:
- Direct financial costs: From medical bills to lost paychecks to property repairs
- Personal trauma: Including physical pain, emotional suffering, and lifestyle impacts
- Punitive awards: Reserved for cases involving extreme or intentional misconduct
We carefully evaluate all aspects of your case to ensure we pursue every type of compensation you’re entitled to under Georgia law.
What Is The Statute Of Limitations For Personal Injury In Georgia?
In Georgia, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions:
- Claims against government entities may have shorter deadlines.
- The clock may “toll” (pause) in certain circumstances.
- Different rules apply for minors.
Don’t wait too long to seek legal help. Critical evidence can be lost over time.
One-On-One Attention In Your Time Of Need

You work directly with a local attorney who has over 25 years of experience and who will personally attend to the critical details of your personal injury claims. John Dufour strives for a prompt and full settlement but is ready and able to litigate if necessary.
Rather than taking the insurance adjuster’s first offer, we work to ensure that your settlement reflects your full damages. That includes medical bills and future care needs, your lost wages and any loss of earning capacity, your pain and suffering, and any permanent injury.
