## Fees & Costs

### [No-Win, No-Fee Promise](https://georgiaautolaw.com/no-win-no-fee-lawyer-georgia)

Georgia Auto Law represents Georgia car accident victims on a contingency fee basis. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation. The firm advances the costs of building the case — medical records, expert witnesses, accident reconstruction, court filing fees, depositions — so the client pays nothing out of pocket while the case is pending. The attorney fee is a percentage of the compensation recovered, set out in a written fee agreement signed before work begins, and varies with how far the case must go (a pre-suit settlement carries a lower fee than a litigated or tried case). If the firm does not recover compensation, the client owes no attorney fee and is not billed for the advanced case expenses.

Explains how contingency fees work in Georgia generally: typical fee ranges by case stage, the case expenses and medical liens deducted from a settlement in addition to the attorney fee, and a worked example of a client’s net recovery from a $100,000 settlement.

Georgia requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage (25/50/25). These minimums are often insufficient for serious accidents on GA-400, so uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is strongly recommended.

## Complete FAQ Reference

**How much does Georgia Auto Law charge?**
Georgia Auto Law works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict we win for you, and it comes from that recovery, never out of your pocket.

**What should I do immediately after a car accident in Georgia?**
Seek medical attention first, then call 911 to get a police report. Document the scene with photos, collect witness information and insurance details, and do not admit fault. Contact Georgia Auto Law as soon as possible — the sooner you call, the sooner we can protect your rights and begin building your case.

**How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Georgia?**
Georgia's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). Property damage claims also have a 4-year deadline. Do not wait — evidence disappears and witnesses forget details over time.

**What compensation can I recover after a Georgia car accident?**
You may be entitled to medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and emotional distress. Georgia also allows punitive damages in cases involving gross negligence such as DUI.

**Does Georgia follow a fault or no-fault car insurance system?**
Georgia is an at-fault state. The driver who caused the accident is responsible for damages. Georgia uses modified comparative negligence — you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 50% at fault, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.

**How long will my Georgia car accident case take?**
Settlement timelines vary. Simple cases with clear liability can resolve in a few months. Cases involving severe injuries or disputed fault can take 1–2 years or longer. Our team moves quickly and will keep you updated throughout the process.

**Do I need a lawyer for a car accident in Georgia?**
You are not required to hire a lawyer, but insurance companies have experienced adjusters whose job is to minimize payouts. Studies consistently show that accident victims represented by attorneys receive significantly higher settlements than those who negotiate alone. Georgia Auto Law offers a free consultation so you can understand your options with no obligation.

**What is the minimum car insurance required in Georgia?**
Georgia requires minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage. These minimums are often insufficient in serious accidents. We can help you identify all available insurance coverage, including underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage.

**What makes Georgia Auto Law different from other personal injury firms?**
Unlike general personal injury firms, Georgia Auto Law focuses exclusively on car, truck, and motorcycle accidents in Georgia. This specialization means deeper expertise, stronger relationships with medical experts, and a well-known reputation among insurance companies who take our cases seriously.

**Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault?**
Yes, under Georgia's modified comparative negligence rule (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33), you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% responsible for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000.

**What should I do if the at-fault driver has no insurance?**
Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage applies. Georgia Auto Law helps clients maximize UM claims and, where applicable, pursue the at-fault driver's personal assets.

**How is pain and suffering calculated in Georgia?**
Georgia does not cap pain and suffering in most personal injury cases. It is typically calculated using a multiplier (1.5×–5×) applied to your total economic damages, or a per diem method assigning a daily value. Severity, duration, and impact on your life all factor in.

**Can I handle a car accident claim myself without a lawyer?**
You can, but insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Without legal representation, you may accept a settlement far below what your case is worth. Our free consultation lets you understand your options before deciding.

**What if I was injured in a rideshare accident (Uber/Lyft)?**
Rideshare accidents involve complex insurance layers — the driver's personal policy, Uber/Lyft's $1 million commercial policy (when the driver is on a trip), and potentially your own UM coverage. We handle all rideshare accident claims.

**Does Georgia cap damages in car accident cases?**
Georgia does not cap compensatory damages (medical, lost wages, pain and suffering) in personal injury cases. Punitive damages are capped at $250,000 in most cases, with exceptions for DUI-related cases.
