Georgia Tort Reform SB 68: What Injury Victims Need to Know
SB 68 changes Georgia injury law. New rules on damages, evidence, and timelines. Know how this affects your claim before it's too late.
Why This Matters Right Now
SB 68 is already reshaping how injury claims are evaluated, negotiated, and tried in Georgia. Insurance companies are moving quickly to use the new rules to limit payouts, which means injured people must be just as prepared.
Key Changes Under SB 68
The bill modifies evidence rules around medical records and billing information, introduces new frameworks for calculating damages, and changes certain procedural timelines and requirements. Missing these deadlines can affect your ability to pursue a claim.
What This Means for You
Cases filed after SB 68's effective date are subject to the new rules. Insurance companies are already training adjusters to use these changes to reduce payouts, which makes experienced legal counsel more valuable than ever.
The Bottom Line
Tort reform is often marketed as fairness, but in practice it usually benefits insurance companies at the expense of injured people. SB 68 is no exception. Don't navigate these new rules alone.
