- Physical disability

Act Quickly to File Your Lithonia, GA, Lawsuit on Time
Filing your civil lawsuit is a time-sensitive matter—and the statute of limitations is a mandatory aspect of your case. In Georgia, you generally have:
- Two years to meet the personal injury or wrongful death statute of limitations, according to O.C.G.A § 9-3-33
- Six months to file a claim against a government or municipal agency (e.g., Xpress or the DeKalb County School District), according to O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5
If the filing deadline expires, the court might bar you from filing your lawsuit or dismiss it without hearing the evidence. In addition, the insurance company will stop negotiating a settlement. However, our law firm will help you avoid these costly outcomes by filing your lawsuit within the allotted time.
