In Georgia personal injury cases, including those pertaining to accidents and occurrences that involve trains, accident victims only have a short deadline to file a lawsuit. Specifically, they must file their lawsuit within two years of the date on which they suffered their injuries in the accident.
This hard-and-fast statute of limitations applies in almost every case. Therefore, if the accident victim fails to file suit within the two-year deadline, the law will preclude them from ever asserting a damage claim in the future.
Start your train accident claim as soon as you can. If you wait, you risk losing access to evidence important to your case. In addition, while you have no lawyer representing you, there is a chance that you could do something that could hurt your case. Insurance companies are certainly not above taking advantage of unrepresented victims, so you should retain an attorney as soon as possible.
