Personal Injury Cases We Handle for Savannah Clients

Serious injuries arise from many situations. Our firm handles the full range of personal injury matters affecting Chatham County residents and others throughout coastal Georgia.

Vehicle Accidents:
Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents make up a significant share of personal injury claims. We also represent pedestrians and cyclists injured in collisions with motor vehicles.

Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury:
When a family loses someone due to another party’s negligence, or when a victim survives with life-altering injuries such as traumatic brain injuries or severe burns, the financial and personal consequences are severe. We handle both.

Premises Liability:
Slip and fall incidents, dog attacks, and negligent security cases fall under premises liability. Property owners have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors.

Workers’ Compensation & Overlapping Claims:
Workplace injuries sometimes give rise to both a workers’ compensation claim and a separate personal injury claim against a third party. We handle workers’ compensation matters and can identify when both avenues of recovery apply.

Additional Practice Areas:
Our firm also handles ATV and UTV accidents, insurance disputes and property loss claims, and cases involving negligent security.

Savannah’s roadways carry some of the heaviest commercial truck traffic in the Southeast, driven largely by Port of Savannah operations. The I-95 and I-16 corridors see frequent serious collisions, and downtown pedestrian areas along Bay Street and River Street generate their own mix of accident and premises liability claims. These local conditions shape the cases we regularly see from Chatham County clients.

Why Savannah Injury Victims Work With Craig Injury Law

After a serious accident, insurance companies move quickly. Adjusters contact injured parties early, often before victims have had a chance to understand their options, and their goal is to limit what the insurer pays. Having an attorney who is ready to take a case to trial changes that dynamic significantly.

We prepare every case as if it will go before a judge and jury. That preparation isn’t just for the cases that reach trial. It’s the foundation of effective negotiation.

What sets our firm apart for Savannah clients:

Direct attorney access: You work with an attorney from the first call through resolution. Your case doesn’t get reassigned to a paralegal or case manager.
Contingency fee basis: We don’t collect a fee unless we recover compensation for you. There’s no upfront cost to retain us.
Over 28 years of Georgia court experience: We’ve handled personal injury and workers’ compensation cases in both Georgia state and federal courts since 1995.
Proven results: We’ve recovered millions for clients, including a $30 million wrongful death resolution and a $4.5 million wrongful death settlement, both involving tractor-trailers.
Multilingual services: We offer language services in Spanish and Bahasa Indonesia, making our firm accessible to clients who face language barriers that many Georgia firms don’t address.
Georgia Trial Lawyers Association member: We have been members since 2022, connected to the professional network that advocates for injured Georgians.
Peer-reviewed recognition: Our firm is recognized through respected legal rating organizations, including Martindale and the National Trial Lawyers Association.

Personal Injury Claims in Savannah & Chatham County

Personal injury cases arising in Savannah are typically litigated in Chatham County Superior Court or the State Court of Chatham County, depending on the nature and value of the claim. Understanding the local court landscape matters when building a case, and our firm’s experience across Georgia courts extends to the Savannah area.

The geography of Chatham County contributes directly to the types of accidents that generate personal injury claims here. Interstate 95 runs along the western edge of Savannah and carries substantial commercial truck traffic serving the Port of Savannah, one of the busiest container ports on the East Coast. The interchange where I-95 and I-16 meet is among the most trafficked and highest-risk sections of roadway in coastal Georgia, and truck accidents near these corridors frequently result in serious or catastrophic injuries.

Downtown Savannah presents a different set of conditions. Heavy pedestrian traffic along Bay Street, River Street, and the city’s historic squares puts walkers and cyclists in close proximity to vehicles, tour traffic, and commercial activity. Slip and fall accidents and negligent security claims are also common in areas with concentrated tourism.

If you were injured in the area and want to understand your legal options, call us at (912) 304-5202 for a free consultation.

Georgia Personal Injury Law: What Savannah Claimants Should Know

Georgia law sets specific rules that govern every personal injury claim. Understanding them early helps injured people avoid mistakes that can affect their ability to pursue recovery.

The Two-Year Filing Deadline

Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. Missing this deadline can mean losing the right to recover, regardless of how strong the underlying claim is. Wrongful death claims carry the same two-year deadline, though the clock runs from the date of the decedent’s death rather than the date of the injury that caused it. Acting promptly can help protect your ability to pursue compensation.

Georgia’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule

Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence standard under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. An injured party found to be 50% or more at fault for their own injury cannot recover anything. Below that threshold, recovery is reduced in proportion to their share of fault. Insurance adjusters frequently try to shift blame onto the injured party for exactly this reason. Prompt evidence preservation and careful handling of early communications with insurers can make a significant difference in how fault is ultimately allocated.

Recoverable Damages

Georgia personal injury claims can include both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover documented financial losses: past and future medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages address losses that don’t appear on a bill, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving egregious conduct such as willful misconduct, malice, fraud, wantonness, or conscious indifference to consequences, punitive damages may also be available under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-5.1.

Insurance Coverage & Underinsured Drivers

Georgia requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury. In serious injury cases, that coverage is often far less than what the losses actually total. When an at-fault driver is underinsured, the injured party’s own uninsured motorist coverage may provide an additional source of recovery. Identifying all available coverage is a critical early step in any Savannah personal injury claim.
