The statute of limitations that applies to drunk driving car accident cases is the same that applies to all personal injury cases in Georgia. In almost all circumstances, you have exactly two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit against a drunk driver for injuries you suffered in the motor vehicle accident. If you wait too long to file your lawsuit (beyond this two-year window of time), you can no longer file a claim for monetary compensation and damages stemming from that accident. If you do try to file a lawsuit, the defense attorney in the case will most likely file a motion to dismiss the suit, which the court would then grant.
Consequently, if you or a loved one has suffered injuries in a drunk driving accident, you need our experienced legal counsel on your side as soon as possible. The skilled Gwinnett County drunk driving accident lawyers at Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC will thoroughly review your case and file your lawsuit well before the statute of limitations expires.
