How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia?
According to the Georgia Code section 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of Georgia is two (2) years. In other words, you generally have two years from the date of the underlying incident to file a personal injury claim, or you likely will lose your right to do so.
It’s important to note that there are exceptions that can change this two-year time limit, so it’s crucial you speak to an experienced Atlanta personal injury attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as possible. Some examples of these exceptions include:
- If the injury victim was a minor at the time of the accident;
- If the person you intend to sue is the subject of a criminal action that has not yet been fully prosecuted or dismissed;
- If the injured individual passed away following the subject incident, and the individual’s estate has not yet been established.
It is also important to note that claims against cities, counties, states and other government entities generally require certain formal notice of the claim (called ante litem notice) well before the expiration of the 2-year statute of limitations. For example, for claims against a city, the ante litem notice must be served on the city within six (6) months of the subject incident.
For counties and states, the ante litem notice must be served within twelve (12) months of the subject incident. If the personal injury victim doesn’t serve the mandatory notice before these deadlines, the individual likely will forever lose the right to bring a claim.
The statute of limitations and Georgia’s ante litem notice requirements have a big impact on your ability to file a claim, so it’s crucial you speak to an experienced attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as possible. If you have been injured and think you may have a claim, do not wait. Goldstein Hayes & Lina, LLC offers free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting our firm today!
