Is there a cap on damages I can recover from a Georgia government entity?

Yes. Under the Georgia Tort Claims Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-21-29), damages against the State of Georgia are capped at $1,000,000 per claimant and $3,000,000 per occurrence. Local government entities (cities and counties) may be subject to different caps depending on the applicable statute. These limitations make it critical to maximize every element of compensable damages—including the full non-economic value of life under Georgia’s Wrongful Death Act. HBLG fights to recover every dollar available under the law.
