Under Georgia law, the plaintiff in a motor vehicle accident case or for any personal injury case in Georgia for that matter, is entitled to medical expenses, their lost income, and their pain and suffering damages. And they’re entitled to these damages for past, present, and future. Under certain circumstances, if the defendant has been unnecessarily litigious or forced the plaintiff into court, the court may award attorney fees and costs.
In certain circumstances where the defendant has been grossly negligent, reckless, or acted with criminal intent, punitive damages may be awarded to the plaintiff. Please call us and we’ll evaluate your case and explain to you what damages you may be entitled to.
