The term “statute of limitations” refers to the deadline to file a legal claim as defined under Georgia law. For all personal injuries, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the accident date. If you don’t file your claim during this deadline, you can’t pursue compensation for your injuries. This is a strict deadline that a Duluth catastrophic injury attorney can help ensure that you meet.
If the claim involves a child under 18 years old, the statute of limitations may be longer. However, if the at-fault party in your claim is a government entity, it might be shorter. It’s always best to check with an attorney so that your legal rights don’t expire.
