ATLANTA, Georgia – Sweeping changes could soon transform the landscape of personal injury cases in Georgia, as Governor Brian Kemp announces his plans to prioritize tort reform in the state’s 2025 legislative session. The proposals seek to limit lawsuit verdicts and reduce litigation costs, igniting debates about their potential impact on individuals seeking justice after life-altering accidents.
Riah Greathouse, a prominent personal injury attorney and founder of Greathouse Trial Law in Atlanta, voices concerns about the ramifications for accident victims.
“As a personal injury attorney, I see firsthand how critical it is for victims to pursue full and fair compensation after devastating incidents,” said Greathouse. “These proposed reforms could create unnecessary hurdles for those who are already suffering, limiting their ability to hold negligent parties accountable. For many, fair compensation isn’t just about money; it’s about rebuilding their lives and moving forward after tragedy.”
The proposed reforms, which are expected to take center stage during the upcoming legislative session, have sparked significant dialogue among legal experts and advocacy groups. While supporters argue the changes could reduce frivolous lawsuits and cut litigation expenses, critics warn of the broader consequences for personal injury victims, particularly those with complex cases involving catastrophic injuries.
“Personal injury law is about leveling the playing field between individuals and powerful institutions like insurance companies and large corporations,” Greathouse explained. “By limiting verdicts or imposing new restrictions, we risk tipping the scales away from justice. Victims need a legal system that prioritizes fairness and accountability, not one that potentially compromises their rights in favor of reducing costs.”
Greathouse Trial Law has built its reputation fighting for accident victims. With extensive experience handling wrongful death, car accidents, and other personal injury cases, the firm remains rooted in its commitment to client advocacy.
“We are closely monitoring these legislative developments and staying prepared to act as a voice for our clients and their families,” said Greathouse. “Our priority remains the same—to fight for the rights and futures of every individual who walks through our doors.”
With sweeping implications for victims and legal professionals across Georgia, the debate over tort reform promises to be one of the most critical issues of the 2025 session. Greathouse Trial Law pledges to stand by its clients and advocate for a system that upholds justice and accountability.
