Time limit for your Personal Injury Claims

Time limit to file a personal injury claim in Georgia

If you have been injured in an accident in Georgia because of someone else’s negligence, you would have a specified time to file a Georgia personal injury claim. This is called a statute of limitations. The Georgia statute of limitations to file a Georgia personal injury claim is 2 years from when the injury occurred.

This means is that, once you have suffered a personal injury in Georgia, you will have 2 years from the date of that injury to file a lawsuit. If you do not file a lawsuit within that time, you may no longer be eligible to claim damages.

There are limited exceptions to this rule, such as if the defendant driver was issued a traffic citation.  This may extend the 2 year statute of limitations.

If you are concerned about how the statute of limitations will affect your personal injury claim which occurred in Georgia, contact the experienced attorneys at the Okeke Law Firm, P.C. now for legal assistance.
