Guam Personal Injury Law: What Tamuning Victims Need to Know
Guam personal injury law is governed by Title 7 of the Guam Code Annotated (G.C.A.). Key rules that affect your case:
- Statute of limitations: 2 years from the date of injury (7 G.C.A. § 11306(a)). Do not wait.
- Government entities: If a government agency caused your injury, you must file an administrative claim within 18 months under the Guam Government Claims Act (5 GCA § 6106). Additional deadlines govern when a lawsuit may be filed after rejection or inaction.
- Comparative fault: Guam follows modified comparative fault (18 GCA § 90108) — under 18 GCA § 90108, you can recover as long as your negligence is not as great as the defendant's (i.e., you are less than 50% at fault); your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
- Jones Act: Maritime workers injured in Guam waters may have federal Jones Act claims in addition to Guam personal injury claims.
- Defense Base Act (DBA): Military contractors and civilian workers injured on U.S. military bases in Guam may have DBA claims.
