You Must File Your Case Within the Civil Statute of Limitations
All Georgia truck accident lawsuits must follow the statute of limitations established by O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. As such, you typically have up to two years to file a lawsuit if you were injured or lost a loved one.
Time is of the essence when filing lawsuits; filing your case after the standard two-year period could forfeit your right to damages.
A truck accident lawyer from Kaine Law can file your lawsuit within the appropriate deadline and fight for you in court. However, our team must learn about your situation as soon as possible.

We’re Ready to Recover Each of Your Compensable Losses
Your recoverable injury-related damages may comprise:
Economic Damages (Your Financial Losses)
These damages cover your accumulated financial losses due to the crash. To determine what you need, we will assess your medical bills, employment records, and injury-related receipts.
Examples of economic damages include:
- Medical expenses, such as hospital bills, medical exams, surgeries, and other treatments and medications
- Auto repairs
- Wages you lost during your recovery period
- Funeral and burial costs (if you lost a loved one)
This is not an exhaustive list of what you can seek.
Non-Economic Damages (Losses Without Inherent Financial Values)
Non-economic damages serve as compensation for your non-financial losses. Examples include:
- Any disabilities or disfigurements caused by your injuries
- Post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health complications
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
Non-economic damages are more complicated to estimate when compared to calculating economic damages. To determine what non-economic damages you can pursue, we will assess your mental health, overall situation, and injuries’ severity.

How Our Truck Accident Team Serving College Park Is Ready To Help
We’re ready to pursue compensation for what you deserve by:
Determining Fault and Liability
Due to Georgia’s contributory negligence law (O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33), your settlement could be reduced if you share some fault for the truck accident.
To better understand this concept, consider this scenario:
- You were speeding home from work.
- A trucker fell asleep at the wheel and collided with your vehicle.
- Because you were speeding, you’re assigned 30 percent fault, and the trucker is assigned 70 percent fault.
- Your damages total $1 million.
- Because you caused 30 percent of the collision, you can recover $700,000 instead of the full $1 million.
Just because the insurance company blames you for the collision doesn’t mean it’s true. We will review your case’s evidence to determine who (or what) caused your accident.
Filing and Managing Your Insurance Claim
Once we have compiled enough evidence and calculated your damages, we will likely proceed with a liability claim against the trucking company’s insurer. Your lawyer will send your demand letter, manage all negotiations, and advocate for what you need.
We will also protect you from bad faith insurance practices, which are detailed under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-34. For example, if the insurer denies your claim without a valid reason why, we can determine the reason for its denial and act accordingly.
Filing Your Civil Lawsuit (If Necessary)
Our trial-ready lawyers are ready to pursue a civil lawsuit if:
- The trucking company didn’t have enough insurance to cover your losses.
- The insurance company refuses to extend a fair offer.
- You want to recover damages not covered by the liable insurer.
Filing a lawsuit involves taking witness statements, exchanging evidence with the other party’s lawyers, and crafting a strong defense strategy. You don’t have to worry about navigating the judicial system alone, however. Kaine Law is prepared to fight for what you need both in and out of the courtroom.
