Spinal cord injuries can be excruciating and sometimes result in long-term and permanent injuries. However, these injuries are not always evident right away. The nature and extent of a spinal cord injury may not become apparent for several days or even weeks after an accident. However, it is crucial to keep in mind that the Georgia statute of limitations applies to spinal cord injury cases.
Generally speaking, absent some very limited exceptions, accident victims have two years from the date of their accident to file a lawsuit stemming from their injury. If you fail to file your lawsuit within this time period, you give up your legal right to pursue and recover monetary compensation from your accident.
