Recent Victory
$32.5 million settlement to family after tragic tractor-trailer wreck
Ronnie Mabra and co-counsel secured a historic $32.5 million settlement for the widow and four daughters of a U.S. Army veteran killed in an underride collision with a tractor-trailer.
The tractor had not been regularly inspected, was poorly maintained and lacked working lights or reflective markers necessary to its visiblity in the dark. As a result, the victim could neither see nor avoid the tractor-trailer when its driver failed to yield while turning left. The settlement was reached in January 2024 before to going to jury trial in Gwinnett County State Court.

Real Questions Answered by a Real Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney
Georgia operates as a modified comparative negligence state. Individuals can still seek damages if they were partially at fault for an accident, but those who are 50 percent or more responsible for the incident cannot recover any damages. These rules don’t apply to every state. In some states if you are found to be at fault for an accident you cannot recover any compensation.
No, generally you do not need to pay tax on your personal injury settlement. There are exceptions (awards for lost wages) but your Atlanta personal injury attorney can guide you, based on given the unique type, facts and circumstances of your case.
You work with a personal injury attorney to file your lawsuit. It will not cost you anything to speak with a lawyer to determine if there is potential for a personal injury case. The first step after an accident or injuries is to seek medical care. Then, your attorney will begin gathering the evidence to support your claim. We will work with your insurance company, file a claim for compensation and send a demand letter to the at-fault person’s insurance company. The demand letter outlines your “demands” for compensation. Next, our team will negotiate on your behalf, which often ends with a fair compensation package. If, however, an agreement for fair compensation cannot be finalized, we will take the case to trial.
When you work with a personal injury lawyer he or she accepts the case on a contingency agreement, which means no money is owed unless the firm recovers compensation for you.
The value of a personal injury case depends on many different factors, including: the level of fault, degree of damage, the extent of injuries, and amount of insurance coverage available. Depending on the details of your accident, your personal injury attorney will draft a demand letter that will give an accurate estimate of the total amount of compensation to which you are entitled.
The payout timeline on personal injury lawsuits can vary a great deal. First, it depends on how soon you contact a personal injury attorney. Second, the time it takes for the injuries to heal can postpone your payment. The insurance company wants to tally up the costs of all your medical treatments before settling on a final number. Finally, a decision may be delayed if you choose to go to court versus settling through mediation because many court systems have a backlog of cases. Larger settlements tend to take longer.

You Need to Know
Georgia Has a Two-Year Statute of Limitations
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for civil cases, including car accidents, wrongful death and other personal injury claims, is generally two years from the date of the injury or death, as outlined in O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. That means that if you do not file a lawsuit within the two-year window, your case becomes void. However, the specific timeline can vary depending on the circumstances of your case. It’s crucial to be aware of the timeline, as failing to file within the designated time frame can result in the forfeiture of your right to pursue compensation.
