Under Georgia law, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is two years, but you will want to contact an attorney as soon as you can. The longer you wait, the harder it can become to gather evidence, both regarding fault and in proving your injuries. Waiting can even make it harder to prove that your injuries were suffered because of the accident in question.
Delay is not your friend. Surveillance camera footage is not stored forever, and physical evidence at the scene of the accident also won’t be around for long. Skid marks fade, and even if they don’t, it may become difficult to prove that those particular skid marks have anything to do with your accident. The quicker an investigation begins, the more thorough it can be. You won’t even have an auto insurance adjuster on your side, meaning you need an attorney as quickly as possible to protect your rights.
