If you have suffered an injury in a pedestrian accident, you have a limited time to file a claim or lawsuit arising out of your injuries. In the state of Georgia, pedestrian accident victims have two years from the date of their accident to file a lawsuit for monetary compensation and damages. If the accident victim does not file a lawsuit within that deadline, they will forever waive the right to make a damage claim.
That said, start your claim as soon as possible after an accident. If you wait, important evidence like surveillance footage or tire marks can be lost or destroyed. In addition, witness accounts of the incident will be less reliable as time passes. Starting your claim as soon as possible after an accident maximizes your chances of obtaining the full value of your claim.
If you sustained injuries in a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver or someone else’s negligence, the experienced Gwinnett County pedestrian accident lawyers at Brauns Law Accident Injury Lawyers, PC will make it a priority to file your lawsuit on time and move your claim along in an efficient manner. We can then help you to pursue the monetary recovery that you deserve as a result of the injuries you suffered in your pedestrian accident.
