In Georgia, in most cases, you have two years from the date of accident or injury to bring a legal case against the party who caused the injury. This is what is known as the statute of limitations.
Discuss the accident with an attorney as soon as possible. Personal injury cases, like any other case, require evidence. Police reports, medical records, and pictures of your injuries can all constitute evidence. The sooner your attorney beings collecting evidence, the more reliable and thorough that evidence will be, and the stronger your chances will be of recovering the compensation you deserve.
