Generally, accident victims should file insurance claims as soon as possible. Many policies have limits as to how long after an accident you can report a claim. If you intend to or find yourself needing to file a lawsuit to get fair compensation, Georgia law dictates that you must file your legal case within two years of the date of your accident. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations.
Two years might seem like plenty of time. When dealing with a Gwinnett County Uber accident claim, it really isn’t. Insurance claims and lawsuits follow a particular process, and you can’t skip steps. If you hire an attorney, they need time to prepare your case. The sooner you call one, the sooner they can start collecting and preserving evidence in your accident. If you wait too long, evidence that supports your claim could get destroyed, or you could miss filing your claim before the statute of limitations.
