Walking you through the claims process
1. Free consultation
It all starts with a conversation. You’ll meet with an experienced Columbus personal injury lawyer to discuss what happened, how you’ve been affected, and whether you have a valid claim. There’s no cost and no obligation.
2. Investigation & evidence gathering
We dig into the details—gathering records after medical treatment, police reports, witness statements, and any other evidence that supports your case. If needed, we bring in experts to help strengthen your claim.
3. Calculating your damages
We work with you to understand the full impact of your injuries—physically, emotionally, and financially—so we can demand fair and complete compensation.
4. Negotiation with insurance companies
Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation. We handle all communications with the insurance company, pushing back against lowball offers and fighting for what you truly deserve.
5. Filing a lawsuit (if necessary)

How much compensation can I expect from a Columbus personal injury claim?
One of the most common questions we hear is, “How much is my case worth?” The honest answer: it depends. Every case is unique, and at Fox Injury Law, we look at all the ways your injury has affected your life so we can pursue the maximum compensation allowed under Georgia law.
Factors that can affect the value of your claim
- Medical expenses: Georgia law allows you to recover compensation for both current and future medical bills—including emergency care, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment related to your injury.
- Lost wages and future earning capacity: If your injury caused you to miss work or impacted your ability to earn in the future, you may be eligible for damages for lost income. This includes both past wages and projected future losses.
- Pain and suffering: Under Georgia law, non-economic damages like pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life can be awarded, and we know how to present these damages in a compelling way.
- Comparative fault rules: Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule—if you’re found to be partially at fault (but less than 50%), your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work hard to ensure fault is assigned fairly and accurately.
- Evidence and liability: The stronger the evidence, the stronger your claim. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony to build the most persuasive case possible.
- Damage caps: While Georgia doesn’t cap damages in most personal injury cases, there are some exceptions (like punitive damages, which are capped at $250,000 in most cases). We’ll walk you through exactly what’s recoverable in your situation.

We answer commonly asked questions about personal injuries
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. That means you typically have two years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. However, there are exceptions — for example, claims against a government agency often have much shorter deadlines. To protect your rights, it’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after your injury.
What if I was partially at fault?
Georgia’s modified comparative negligence rule means you can still recover compensation if you were less than 50% at fault—but your total award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For instance, if you were 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. We work hard to minimize fault assigned to you and maximize your recovery.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
At Fox Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we recover money for you—either through a settlement or court verdict. That way, you can focus on getting better without worrying about legal bills.
