Statute of Limitations in Georgia Personal Injury Cases
In the state of Georgia, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years. This means that you typically have two years from the date of an accident or injury to file a lawsuit against those responsible.
However, like many rules, there are exceptions. One such nuance is the “discovery rule,” which allows the statute of limitations to start when the injury was or should have been discovered rather than from when the injury occurred. This is often applicable in cases where the injury is not immediately apparent, such as with medical malpractice or exposure to harmful substances.
For minors, the statute of limitations works a bit differently. If a child is injured before they turn 18, the clock on the two-year limitation period doesn’t start ticking until their 18th birthday. This gives them until they turn 20 to file a personal injury claim.
