Step-by-Step Guide
What Should You Do After an Accident in Newnan?
- 1
Call 911 and Report the Accident
In Georgia, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Newnan and request both police and medical assistance.
- 2
Seek Immediate Medical Attention
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Nearby hospitals include Piedmont Newnan Hospital.
- 3
Document Everything at the Scene
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
- 4
Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters Without an Attorney
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
- 5
Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately
Georgia's statute of limitations is 2 years (Ga. Code § 9-3-33). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
- 6
Keep All Medical Records and Bills
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Georgia Law
How Does Georgia Personal Injury Law Work?
Modified Comparative Fault (50% Bar)
Source: Ga. Code § 51-12-33
Georgia uses a 49% bar — you can recover only if your fault is 49% or less.
Statute of Limitations: 2 years
Source: Ga. Code § 9-3-33
In Georgia, you generally have 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation.

Damage Caps
No cap on economic damages. Punitive damages generally capped at $250,000 (Ga. Code § 51-12-5.1) with exceptions.
Key Georgia Laws Affecting Your Case
Tort Reform (SB 68)
Ga. Code (as amended by SB 68, 2025)
Signed April 21, 2025: eliminates 'phantom damages' (only amounts paid or owed are recoverable), allows seat belt evidence in negligence/causation, permits trial bifurcation (liability vs. damages) for cases over $150,000, and restricts voluntary dismissals.
