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 years. The statute of limitations is a law implemented on a state level, which limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim.

More specifically, this means you have two years from the date your injury was inflicted to file your claim, or you will lose your right to file along with your right to recover compensation no matter how severe your injuries are. It’s important to note that there are exceptions that can change this time limit.

The most notable of these exceptions are:

• If the injury victim was a minor at the time of the accident. In these circumstances, the two-year time period will most likely begin once the claimant turns 18.
• If the alleged negligent party leave the state before the lawsuit can be filed the time of absence is typically not counted in as part of the two-year time period.

The statute of limitations has a big impact on your ability to file a claim so it’s important to speak to an experience and knowledgeable attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as you can.
