Frequently Asked Questions

How does Georgia's lien statute help Thomson accident victims get prescriptions?

Under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-470, pharmacies can file a lien against a personal injury patient's future settlement to cover the cost of injury-related medications. LienScripts manages the entire process so Thomson patients receive prescriptions at $0 upfront cost.

Does Georgia require PIP coverage for Thomson drivers?

No. Georgia does not mandate PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance, so most Thomson residents injured in car accidents have no automatic prescription coverage. LienScripts' pharmacy lien program ensures patients can still access medications, repaid only from the settlement.

What types of accidents are common around Thomson?

Thomson's location at the junction of US-1 and GA-17 sees frequent rural highway collisions, including head-on crashes on two-lane roads, deer strikes, and accidents involving agricultural vehicles. These often result in serious injuries requiring extended prescription treatment covered by LienScripts.

Can Thomson patients fill LienScripts prescriptions at local pharmacies?

Yes. LienScripts partners with over 70,000 network pharmacies nationwide, including locations accessible to Thomson and McDuffie County residents. Patients can fill prescriptions locally without traveling to Augusta.

How does Georgia's comparative fault rule impact Thomson PI cases?

Under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33, a plaintiff 50% or more at fault is barred from recovery entirely. For Thomson cases that do recover, LienScripts liens are repaid from the settlement, and the team assists attorneys with lien reductions when the recovery is limited.
