Injured Due to Someone Else’s Negligence? We Can Help.
A serious injury can disrupt your life in an instant — physically, emotionally, and financially.

At Walt Moffitt Law, we help injury victims across Northwest Georgia stand up to insurance companies and fight for the justice they deserve.
We proudly serve clients in Walker, Dade, Catoosa, Chattooga, and Whitfield Counties, including Rossville, Ringgold, Dalton, LaFayette, and Trenton.

What Compensation Can You Recover from a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Every case is unique, but Georgia law allows injury victims to recover for:
- Medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, rehab, prescriptions)
- Lost wages and future loss of earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or mental anguish
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Property damage (vehicle, belongings)
- Wrongful death damages (funeral costs, loss of companionship)
Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident
Insurance companies are not on your side. Their goal is to settle fast and pay as little as possible — even if it means undercutting the true value of your claim.
Hiring an experienced attorney helps you:
- Avoid common legal and insurance pitfalls
- Preserve evidence and document injuries
- Understand Georgia’s statute of limitations (typically 2 years)
- Get full compensation, not just quick payouts
- Prepare your case for court if needed

Injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident? We Handle Auto Accident Injury Claims Across Northwest Georgia
Car Accident Injury Cases

Collisions involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles can be catastrophic. These cases are complex and require a legal team who knows how to hold trucking companies accountable.

FAQs About Personal Injury Claims in Georgia
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?
Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. Some exceptions may apply, so don’t wait.
What should I do after a car accident?
Seek medical attention, document the scene, exchange information, and contact a lawyer. Do not admit fault or speak to insurers without legal advice.
Can I still recover compensation for a personal injury if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Georgia follows modified comparative fault — as long as you were less than 50% at fault, you may still recover damages (reduced by your share of fault).
How much is my personal injury case worth?
That depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and other damages. We can help you calculate a fair value after reviewing the facts.
Will I have to go to court to file a personal injury claim?
Not necessarily. Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement. But we’re prepared to go to trial if needed to get you the compensation you deserve.
