This is a critical question as there are time limits. Suppose you or your Duluth taxi accident lawyer doesn’t file your claim within that period. In that case, you can no longer seek compensation from the at-fault parties. Your case is invalid.
Georgia sets a time limit on personal injury claims known as the statute of limitations. In the case of taxicab accidents or any other type of car accident claim for bodily injury, O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 provides a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the collision.
Property damage is different. Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-32, you have four years to bring a claim for property damage resulting from a car accident. It’s always a good idea to meet with an attorney and to bring your claim against a taxi driver as soon as you can. What can make the statute of limitations even more confusing is that cases against government entities or those involving minor children often have different time limitations. Your Duluth taxi accident attorney will be well aware of which statute of limitations applies to your claim.
