How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia?
In Georgia, the statute of limitations (SOL) for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident or injury. This legal deadline is crucial—it protects both plaintiffs and defendants by encouraging timely claims while preventing old cases from resurfacing years later. Georgia also has a 10-year statute of repose (SOR) that can apply in certain product defect cases, particularly construction-related claims. Understanding these time limits is essential, as missing them could bar you from recovering compensation.
