The law treats birth injury cases like any other medical malpractice case. These are subject to the statute of limitations. In Georgia, you have two years from the time of the injury to file your lawsuit. Usually, this is the time of birth, but an injury can also happen at any time after the birth. If you miss this deadline, you will lose the ability to file a lawsuit unless one of a small handful of limited exceptions applies. This finite amount of time is why you need to quickly find a birth injury attorney so you can begin working on your complaint. Your lawsuit will need to demonstrate a strong grasp of the facts, and that can take time.
