We Handle All Deadlines in Your Case
Be aware that your case may be subject to OCGA § 9-3-33, Georgia’s personal injury statute of limitations. Under this statute, you could have as little as two years to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. Depending on your circumstances, you could have more or less time to take legal action.
Additionally, you should contact your attorney to begin your case as soon as possible. You and your attorney will need that time to develop the case. Plus, contacting an attorney early ensures they can secure and preserve evidence before it can be lost or destroyed. In fact, some evidence may even be in the possession of possible defendants in your personal injury case.
The insurance companies are aware of these statutory deadlines too. Some may delay resolving your case in the hopes your deadline expires. Our attorneys will remain vigilant and not allow such clerical errors to occur.
We Put Your Best Interests First
Our legal team focuses on recovering compensation for injured people. You can expect the following from our team of personal injury lawyers serving Covington:
- If we believe that a settlement offer does not fully account for your losses, we will continue fighting for a better deal.

What Information Could Help My Covington Injury Case?
After learning about your situation, our legal team will gather evidence to show how you were hurt and who is responsible. You may already have some important pieces of information on hand that we can use.
The following could supplement your personal injury case:
The Accident Report
If you were injured in a collision, slip and fall, or another situation, there might have been documentation to back up when the event happened and who was involved.
The accident report can also include:
- The nature of your injuries
- What caused the accident
- Statements made by witnesses and their contact information
- The time, date, and location of the incident
- Whether you were taken to the hospital in an ambulance
You are required to file a police report if you were injured in a car accident, according to OCGA § 40-6-273.
Your Medical Records
We will need to prove that you were injured due to the incident in question. Your medical records will serve as an important piece of documentation to link your condition to what happened.
They can also be used to back up the severity of your injuries, the cost of treatment, and your recovery period. From cuts and bruises to broken bones and more catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injury (TBI), your doctor’s diagnosis and treatment plan are an important part of your case.
Security Camera Footage
Surveillance cameras are everywhere, even if you do not notice them. Stores, intersections, and even private residences are sometimes outfitted with cameras that record people’s comings and goings.
You may not be able to get this footage on your own. Yet, your personal injury lawyer from Kaine Law can. We can subpoena this information and use our findings to your benefit.

Two Things to Do After Being Injured Due to Negligence
First and foremost, seek medical attention. As noted, to recover compensation, you will need to prove that you were hurt and incurred related losses.
Three other things that could support your case include:
Following Your Doctor’s Treatment Plan
Once you have received medical attention, be sure to follow through on your doctor’s treatment plan. Missing even a follow-up appointment with your doctor could be used against you.
Letting Your Lawyer Handle the Claims Adjuster
After filing your case, the claims adjuster might offer you money. While getting fast money might appeal to you, keep in mind that it may not fully account for your past, present, and future losses.
Our team can keep you from being pressured into accepting a low settlement from the insurance company. We can also handle all communications and negotiations so that you can focus on your recovery period.
Avoiding Social Media
Social media sites are constantly updating their privacy policies. So, even if you think that your pages are private, this may no longer be the case.
While you do not have to quit social media cold turkey, you should avoid:
- Posting pictures of yourself (even if they are old)
- Mentioning the accident or your injuries online
- Tagging your location
You should even avoid “sharing” posts from other users. Even though you did not author or create those posts originally, they could still work against you.
