Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

In a personal injury lawsuit can a Plaintiff, prejudgment, freeze the assets of a Defendant, if the Defendant is dissipating their assets to avoid collection of a judgement. Is there any cases in Georgia where this has happened, if so can you cite the case please.

Could it happen? Maybe (rarely). It won't ever happen in a pro se case, and if the unique facts require it, an attorney could make appropriate motions. It would take VERY unusual facts, so precedent from other cases would be rather useless, and since you should be paying your lawyer to do it, lawyers here are not likely to do paid Lexis and Westlaw research for free for you.
