We won't be able to assist you until you provide the complete statute citation. It should read as the following (but with numbers of course).
O.C.G.A. Sec. XX-XX(X)-XX(X)
Section d.. I need more clarity about the unnamed party..
It’s almost 60 days no response and liability was already accepted 100%.
Section (d) discussing the "unnamed party" pertains to the insurance company for the person who caused the damages to your property.

Probably not; this was a judgment call by your attorney using the facts as presented at that time. Also, comp is a "no fault" system, and the driver's being high isn't relevant (assuming the driver was a co-worker and not a 3rd party).
