Time is of the essence when filing a personal injury claim in Georgia. The statute of limitations sets deadlines for initiating legal action, and missing these deadlines can bar you from recovery.
General Personal Injury Claims
In Georgia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury.
Exceptions to the Rule
• Minors: The clock may not start until the individual turns 18.
• Medical Malpractice: May have different time frames.
• Discovery Rule: In some cases, the clock starts when the injury is discovered.
Importance of Timely Action
Delaying your claim can result in:
• Loss of evidence.
• Witnesses becoming unavailable.
• Legal rights being forfeited.
