Like all other states in the country, the state of Georgia has a statute of limitations that applies to nursing home negligence. A victim of nursing home negligence or the victim’s lawyer has a period of only two years from the date of the injury’s discovery (the injury resulting from the alleged negligence) to file a lawsuit against the facility.
Under almost all circumstances, if the nursing home resident or the resident’s attorney fails to take legal action within that two-year time frame, the nursing home resident will no longer be eligible to make a claim or file a lawsuit seeking monetary compensation and damages for the injury/illness sustained.
Therefore, if you believe that your loved one was the victim of nursing home negligence or abuse, get legal counsel on board in your case as soon as possible. The knowledgeable team of Atlanta nursing home negligence attorneys at Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC will ensure that any lawsuit in your case is filed on time, streamlining the litigation process and ensuring that your claim for monetary compensation and damages goes forward smoothly.
