Frequently Asked Questions

What is Georgia’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims?

Georgia requires personal injury lawsuits to be filed within two years of the date of injury under O.C.G.A. §9-3-33. For wrongful death claims, the two-year period runs from the date of death. Missing this deadline bars recovery permanently. If the injury involves a government entity such as DeKalb County or MARTA, a shorter ante litem notice period may apply, making early legal consultation critical.

How does Georgia’s comparative fault rule affect personal injury claims?

Georgia follows a modified comparative fault rule: if you are less than 50% at fault for an accident, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 50% or more at fault, you cannot recover at all. Insurance companies frequently attempt to assign partial fault to victims, making skilled legal representation essential to protect your recovery.
