We Can Help You Avoid a Potentially Costly Delay in Filing Your Lawsuit
The majority of cases like yours are settled out of court based on the evidence. If your case has to go to court, you must file your lawsuit according to Georgia’s statute of limitations.
In general, O.C.G.A § 9-3-33 gives you:
- Two years from the date of the accident to file your personal injury lawsuit
- Two years from the date of a loved one’s demise to file your wrongful death lawsuit
The injured party’s age, certain actions the at-fault party took, and various other factors can alter the statute of limitations. The best way to understand the filing deadline, its importance, and its impact on your case is to let our legal team handle it for you.
With enough notice from you, we can work hard to meet the filing deadline and avoid the costly consequences of filing your lawsuit too late.
